Nice to meet the early group! Sorry I couldn't stay later. Good to hear it was a good turnout.

@MyRx and @PMok, where is the meet next week? :D @MyRx you need to give me a drive next time :)

seriously!!! something about that 86s color... its like a white 86s meet

I'm happy to be one of those few that give it some color variety :party0030:

Great seeing everybody who came out! Here are a few pics I took, more are up at 86drive.com :thumbsup:

Hope to see you guys on Friday at Dublin meet as well! Bring a toy for the toy drive, please! (Thanks to Erik @G_Ride who dropped off a gift for the drive last night)

Thanks Southbay! At the peak of the meet, I counted 17 cars but was quickly corrected that a few had already left, so 20+ car meet. Wow! Goes to show, Southbay has a large population of owners of which I noticed some are brand new faces and/or were just being introduced to other Southbay owners.

I heard lots of discussions about mods, parts, what works/doesn't work in between the crowds. Another great by-product of any meet. Looking across the 2 rows of 86s, I noticed a very-modded BRZ owner chatting it up with a new face, which I just met to have a stock FRS. Noticed a few of these and naturally, it happens. Great stuff guys and gals.

Gotta mention the non-Southbay'ers that also made the trek: @PMok, @RC51ed, @QT0843, @BigFatFlip (from Alameda!), and @overlookedx (from SF!), and whomever else I did not notice, thanks for trekking.

Thanks @phanguy for the OEM alarm work.

Thanks @G_Ride for the $25 gift card going in the toy drive loot.

Until next week again. In the meantime, we have Friday in Dublin for a couple good reasons - parts demo and toy drive. Bring 'em.

Bump for this Wed 11/20 7pm at the Great Mall parking structure. First early arrivals can designate which floor has the most parking available.

Having it at the Great Mall has it's advantages aside the covered parking. We all know what they are but if you're new to the area, it's a mall - food court, movies, and Dave & Buster's included. If you like midweek breaks, The Great Mall offers plenty for yourself and if you have one, your significant other.

I almost want to say that we should have a challenge inside Dave & Busters. You know, the 10 man (or something) racing game. I'm bringing my Power Cards just incase haha


Going forward to Wed 11/27, Thanksgiving Week, what do you guys think of Round Table Pizza here? Open environment, lots of seating, ample parking right outside, and is right off Lawrence and 101.
1220 Oakmead Pkwy
Sunnyvale‎ California‎ 94085

There may have been no mention of it but YES, open to other cars and people.

Greatmall!! I'll be there, have to dig out the Dave n buster cards. Do they still have Daytona Usa?

Tempting, still got a few bucks on my power card, plus its even closer to me than last weeks. We'll see if I could go 2-for-2 with the mrs lol.

Get out of my head @MyRx haha jk. i was hoping this week's meet would be in a parking garage. Supposedly it's going to be raining and a parking structure would be PERFECT!

I'll try to make it out again this week.

rain is in the forecast...

That's why we planned it that way. I'm down :thumbsup:Definitely hitting up DnB for some gaems!!

Last time me and some friends were there, summer time, they did but two of the seats were broken. I hope they fixed them all by now.

Sweet! Bring 'em if you can go. Sounds like a date...with a run-ins with other 86s owners. Hmm, how'd that happen haha

We were brainstorming some Southbay spots that have stores in or very near to parking structures. Greatmall just kinda' fit the bill in more ways than one. Santana Row was an option, perhaps in the future :)

Always welcome :) :)

:( not always welcome but what else offers free car wash a few times a year. I know what I'm doing Thursday...looking for a hot under-carriage wash lol. Maybe I need new windshield wipers too :iono:

Shopping, dinner, movies, games, and 86s...how else to take a break from all the work that we do. Putting up with the daily (and nightly) grinds of the rat race.

:thumbup:

Ooh Great Mall. So close to work! I'll def swing by

So same time? 7ish? what level?

This one is even closer to me. Btw, i've been to great mall so many times and never knew they have a parking structure lol ^_^
@mkivsoopra is it close enough for you to make it?

Distance is usually not a problem.. Mostly just time :). I should be able to make it tonight!

Haha, got the car on stands right now, so we might just drop by in the wife's outback instead.

Let me know if you do find a good one. Got the undercarriage panels coming, so I'd like to clean down there before I install.

I won't make it out tonight. Have fun guys, stay dry! Lol.

Bump for tonight's meet at 7pm-ish @ Great Mall parking structure. DRIVE SAFE everyone! I may be running late. I have a local coming by to do swap/install so depending on his traffic, our install time will depend on that.

First arrivers just drive around and find the level with the least amount of cars, more space for us. Comically saying but seriously haha

For such a large place, the parking structure is in the back so I too hardly notice it's there. But it is the one like 10yrds from an entrance into the mall. Dave and Buster's is visible from this structure.

What's it doing on jacks huh? Haha jk. The trick about the undercarriage washers is its got to be a drive-thru rather than the rails (I don't trust the rails) not to mention a brushless washer too. When I find one over here, I'll let y'all know haha

Thanks but no thanks. I'm kidding :) :)

The touchless car wash I know of is one off industrial in Hayward Bp gas I believe. One in walnut creek off of treat. It's a chevron off the freeway. Others are drive thru's with brushes and/or rails. I think there is one off grimmer in Fremont but not sure. FYI.

Decided to do some shopping and beat the wet weather traffic. Parked my truck next to the container next to the parking structure at the moment. Second level looks very empty as is the back of the ground level.

Here now. Parked on the north side of the bottom floor. Next to the ramp that goes to the second floor.

I had to work for 10 hours and drive around in the rain all day so I'm out. Sorry freinds.

Sorry I can't make it. My wife decides to work overtime leaving me to care for the kids and their extracurricular activities. We now just got home.

Hope you guys are having fun. Pics pls if you have any :)

So the story is that we had a decent amount of cars come out today, I wasn't able to count but more than 10 less than 20. Garfull gave up his old d&b card so we could play a couple games. Unfortunately it did not have any funds on the card. We played a little but of everything from time crisis to Daytona USA. Not many pictures but still fun.

@RC51ed did you not get the pictures of the cops surrounding us the entire time?
@FRS_Jack congrats for finally safely getting out from the parking lots along with everyone else :D

dang wished i'd stayed. i loved playing daytona usa. doing the unrealistic first to third gear drifts....

Thanks for coming out guys and gals. Sorry I couldn't be there - the unexpected trivial of being married to someone loving their job a lot haha.

Next week is on Wednesday again. I had couple proposals of Round Table Pizza off of Lawrence/101, Ten Ren Tea at Wolfe/Homestead, McCarthy Ranch (Ranch99 side this time), and whatever else any Southbay'ers may think can be a convenient location to get to/from.

@MyRx are we still doing this on wednesday? :D

^^^ Yes. What do you think of the 3 choices above? Any other preferences? Almost feel like going to someplace family-style to eat. Black Bear Diner @Milpitas, Denny's, IHOP, or the likes. Open for suggestions.

Coincidently, Easy Bay folks may meet also on Wednesday so I'm not sure if South Bay and East Bay may want to combine someplace in the middle or what.

Actually eastbay is confirmed for today at 7-8ish in union city. Come thru if you can. If not then I'll see you Wednesday night.

Ok thanks. Southbay on Wed. If I don't catch you by then, happy turkey day all.

I'm down for some Denny's. Dunno about the others :)

I'll have to miss this week's :(

im fine with anything. im not picky about food... :D

Tagging other 86s from Southbay Im aware off ;) please come
