Frankie, No lie, yours was the best looking there.

That one red 2 is similar to colour that I want, but I don't like it on that car... Hopefully mine will look better.

thanks. but, there was some really nice one that show up at night. i just didn't take any picture at night due to me taking pics with my phone

but, i am waiting for my friends to load up their pics. maybe we get to see some good one.

funny thing happen on our cruise. we didn't plan it. but, we end up taking 3 lane on the highway. and the next thing we know. we end up boxing in a nice nsx. and the nsx seem to enjoy being surrounded by a bunch of mr2. i think we have pic of it too.

hahaha...yeah. i think so. but, this really pushing me to buy an nsx when i get back into the country. black nsx or maybe yellow

[masagsxr]

Go for black... Yellow is too bright and definitely a head turner specially to the cops hehehe. Its probably ok there in texas tho.... You get all kinds of cops here in ca. Sometimes they pull you over just because

[honda_bar]

Black! I have a pic of one in my room. Has to be one of the best looking cars ever IMO. Sexy. I plan on getting one within 5-8 years. *crosses fingers

[mr.asian.m2]

black huh? sound good. but, i don't want to say to much right now until i get it.

i talk to all the guys at the mr2 meet about having a texas and cal meet. make it into one big family. and all the main guys are ok with it. so, i just want to know what you guys think about it. i did talk to mark awhile back. but, to make this happen. we need everyone input. maybe we can meet in the middle somewhere. las vegas? get like a group discount rate at hotel? i have friend who work at MGM. so, she might get us good discount

Well you guys didn't think it was my plate till you actually saw it.

The one in the pictures was actually my old plate. So that's why it's not on there.

Yeah sounds like a good idea... Reminds me of Supra invade Vegas meet or something that happens every year around Oct.

[honda_bar]

that would be cool and a fun drive

[Mark_Dorman]

^I like the idea. We'd have to do some major coordinating and planning. This would be something we're we'd have to plan it three or so months out and just set a date and tell people to come.

We should do some general interest polls for all four states (California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas). I like the Vegas idea if we could make it work and someone knew where we could hold a meet. If we all stayed in the same hotel we could use part of they're parking lot and maybe use a ball/banquet room too

[masagsxr]

Or, we could always go to the Supra Invade Las Vegas - Invaded by MR2ssss hehehehe if we do not get a lot of response to do our own Vegas meet. At least we'll know that there is an event there that happens every year.

[mr.asian.m2]

well, i do have friends there. so, if anything...i can have them look and set up places for us. and the texas mr2 are trying to get sponsors from one of our toyota dealership. maybe they can sponsors with some gas, food, hotel and etc. still in the work.

[honda_bar]

^both interesting ideas mixxer and frankie, I like both. A supra MR2 super meet sounds pretty rad. I think we would (like mark said) have to give people around 3 months to get ready for one (book time off and what have you) and the biggest challenge, finding a spot to have it. I think it's also important to get some of the MAIN people from the OC forum and other states to take it seriously.

[Mark_Dorman]

^Word

[mr.asian.m2]

this sound like a great plan guys. us texas mr2 going to have to use trailer to get it out there to vegas. too far of a drive for us. it shouldn't be that bad for you guys there. i'll wait until xmas is over and i will talk to my friends out there in vegas. and see what they can come up with and i'll let you guys know then. i have your number mark. so, if anything. i can call you for more detail.

my wife won't be with me. so, you going to have to hook me up mark. hahahah....

[masagsxr]

^LoL.... must be good that the wife don't read threads hehehee...

Looks like you have a lot of hookup here. A friend at MGM and a few others? Thats awesome...

Not sure if you guys remember but I was in vegas the week of thanksgiving. Stayed at Imperial palace from thursday and checked out sunday. Our bill was only $120 for the room.... Not sure if your friend can beat something like that knowing they are a big hotel and run most of the PPV events....

I guess we'll brainstorm some more.

[honda_bar]

saw this, a norcal meet 2008 ---> there are a couple nice wingless ones.

Chapter 236.5 of Davis's Life: Exciting rain comes Exciting times!

Dear MR2.com/forums/socal-mr2/Toyota-MR2-34204-official-socal-chat-thread-62.html

Today I woke up to the rain... I look outside and there's Mindy just sitting there under the tree being wet. Poor girl. So like at 11 I took off to go to Irvine to reschedule my MSF course which sucks. On my way there on the 22 freeway, a white F-250 Lost control in front of me while he was getting on the freeway. I was just like "Wow he lost control.." and a second later I was like oh crap dodge! Talk about a late reaction. So I got to Irvine did what I had to do, Done. On the way home, going on the on-ramp to the 405N, My MR2 actually understeered! I was turning and turning and turning the wheel while i noticed my car wasn't turning. Oh noes! I let go of the accelerator and she caught traction and by the way my steering wheel was at full lock, so I oversteered and all this happened going at about ~25mph. Exciting!

Got to work at around 4PM, Hung out with the techs, got my check and decided I should finally go to the WaMu next door to cash it since it's already like 5:30. So I'm waiting in line and then I noticed one of teh girls that works over the counter looks sooo familiar....Hmmm. Middle school? "Next In Line" she says. What do you know, that's me! I hand over my check to her, while noticing she was looking at me the whole time and then paused for a couple seconds when she looked at my check. "Did you go to school in Long Beach?" she asked. "Yeah I did" I replied. "OMG Davis!!!" she yelled out with shock. "Oooo No wonder you looked so familiar!!! Sorry but I forgot your name! " "It's Jennifer " and well we talked for a bit. She was cute then and she's still cute now!

Oh and I bought a helmet today to get ready for my class!



What an awesome day it was, full of adventures and experience!

[honda_bar]

nice, glad you didn't crash, that would make me sad
