Hey everyone!

We're having our second meet of the year! Last time we had a great turnout and it was fun to meet new people and see some familiar faces.

We'll be meeting at the same place as last time!

Day and time: 11AM-2PM on Saturday, April 23rd

Address:

1513, 4130 N First St, San Jose, CA 95134

There are several restaurants at this plaza, like Chipotle, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread.

Please try to park in the rows in front of Chipotle/Starbucks since those are usually emptier!

Everyone's welcome, especially those with the new set of twins. Please join us!

With COVID still going on, we just ask that you're mindful of everyone's space.

As always, NO revving and NO burnouts are allowed. Please be respectful and courteous; this includes picking up and throwing away any trash that you have/see at the meet. We want to leave the location looking as good as or better than it did before we arrived so we can return in the future.

Hope to see you all there!

No problem! Glad you made it today. We'll have to also figure out a drive meet one of these days.

No problem! Glad you were able to make it out. Was cool to see your shiny new BRZ in person.

Hey! Sorry I didn't see this until now. I was originally thinking mid-January but all the rain is being kind of painful. Hopefully it clears up in a week or so and then we can hold one toward the end of the month.

[spike021]

Happy New Year everybody!

Let's have our first meet of the year!

We'll be meeting in North San Jose where we held some of our meets last year.

Day and time: 11AM-2PM on Saturday, January 28th.

Address:

1513, 4130 N First St, San Jose, CA 95134

[Tentative based on weather] - right now the forecast is for a chilly and partly cloudy day. If we get rain again, we may postpone until the weather clears up.

There are several restaurants at this plaza, like Chipotle, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread.

Great photos, Josh! Thanks so much for hosting/organizing the meetup!

First one of these I've attended in a long time and it was a lot of fun to see everyone's builds! I find it interesting to study the cars and identify the subtle aesthetic choices people make such as their lug nuts, stickers, wheels, spoiler, etc.

This was also the first time that I've had the opportunity to see the new 22+ BRZ and GR86 up close and personal. Previously I've only seen them on the road in motion. I love both of them! The design up close really works, much more so than photos you see online or even seeing them in passing on the road. Absolutely gorgeous cars.

Lastly, it was just really refreshing to see the smiling faces and continued enthusiasm for this platform. Whether it's a functional canyon carving build, more of an aesthetic-focused hard-parking show car, or even completely stock - the passion is the same!

I'm looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of one myself, after a three year hiatus. Will definitely bring it to a future South Bay meet when I do!

Here's some photos I took:
