anybody near Bethlehem, PA?
 
so I am very new to the FRS/BRZ scene but not the car scene. how ever i have not been able to find any groups on Facebook or anything. anybody know of a good frs page for meets and stuff?

dar3d3vil 03-30-2015 01:26 AM

I'm over in Albrightsville, so about 40 or so miles away.Would be interested in finding out if there is any groups over in this part of PA. I know there is one closer to Philly. As for meets, check the Moto East meet coming up on May 9th. It's over in Easton.

i still go up there maybe 1-2 times a month

I'm in Bethlehem, not a whole lot going on for these cars in the Lehigh Valley from what I've seen.

ironhorse2118 03-30-2015 03:32 PM

we should change that.

I rarely see them...except then a few days ago I saw 3 in about a 1 hour period all parking next to me (while in my pathfinder). They're slowly coming out of hibernation.

There's a few though for sure. We have some locals both supercharged and otherwise that aren't too far away. Definitely stop in may 9th and hopefully we'll have a good showing.

Sounds like a plan. I'd be down for seeing if we could drum up a group in the area. I know over in Stroudsburg (where I picked my BRZ up from) they had said that they haven't sold any (other than the one that I bought) since 2013. I guess the road conditions in the Poconos don't lend to a rear wheel drive vehicle (didn't stop me though!).

Hopefully I'll get mine out of hibernation this week. I miss driving it.
I'm near emmaus, and in B-hem quite a bit. so you should see another one running around soon.

I went to Ertle when I was looking to buy and they would barely budge on the price of the 2013s they had sitting on their lot for years. I ended up buying my 2015 in south Jersey for less than what Ertle wanted for a 2013.

I'm in Nazareth, right next door to Bethlehem.

Lol, yeah I wound up fighting with them for around 5 hours before they budged enough to make me happy. We'd just sold our place in NY and bought a much cheaper place in PA so we were buying with cash with zero financing. In the end I got them screwed down for a good deal on the BRZ for me and a Crosstrek for the wife. They still didn't want to budge too much on the BRZ so I got them to throw in a bunch of aftermarkets and then everyone was happy.

I'm over in the Hazleton area, work in Mahanoy city

DrEverettScott 04-01-2015 11:04 AM

I'm located in Nazareth, and still trying to find a BRZ haha

ironhorse2118 04-01-2015 04:50 PM

if i started a Lehigh valley brz/frs page on Facebook would you guys join?

x1UP 04-01-2015 04:53 PM

You guys are so close to NYC, i'd make the trip out there, just because.

Crestwood1001 04-01-2015 05:56 PM

Ironhorse, I'd join it. I'm a little further north then most of you guys, and with my work schedule it's hard to do anything fun but I'm gonna try and make a few meets this summer

I'm the same tbh, live in PA but work in Long Island. Plus I have a 15 month old daughter. But I'd definitely be down for trying to put a group together. Even if we only met up a couple of times a year it would be fun to do.

ironhorse2118 04-02-2015 08:52 AM

okay, sounds good. I'm like a hour and a half away from NYC X1up. you can add me on Facebook and we can try to get a group going. name: Jonah Weitzel

If you guys get something going let me know, I'll gladly join in too. I think the wife would be glad for me to get out of her hair every now and then to be honest :lol:

- I'll help you guys organize something.

We can get a group going. Actually, there's a meet at Moto East in PA, which I'm sure you guys have heard about. They also have a thread going here. I'm attending that event and coming from NYC with a few people.

We can all meet there and just hang out.

dar3d3vil 04-02-2015 10:45 PM

I'm definitely going to be at the Moto East meet. If anyone wants to add me on FB just look for Stu McEwing. I think i'm the only one with that name in PA.

ironhorse2118 04-03-2015 03:13 AM

ill be at moto east as well, thats like 20 mins from my house. pretty excited.
