Who's from Nevada?

[SteveTB03]

Im looking to find people in Nevada as to maybe we can try to set up a meet or something. You know before it gets too hot in Sin City :woohoo:

How about it ya'll???? :)

[Clayton]

Now now, there's more to Nevada than Las Vegas! (Though some people don't believe me.)

I'm up in Gardnerville...just south of Carson City, just over the hill from Lake Tahoe, etc etc...

[jpa]

Decatur and Ann here...where u at?

[Bears]

TPC club represent :chillpill: :chillpill: :chillpill: :chillpill:

(but i dont live in nv)

[SIK ENVY]

:woot: I'm always there? I'll be there July 4th-8th. I know it seems like quite aways away, but it will come sooner than you think. I'm down for a meet during that time, just not Saturday. well, maybe early Sat. morning. let's do this! :woot:

[SteveTB03]

Decatur and Ann here...where u at?

:undecided

[SteveTB03]

Yeah SikEnvy that would be nice to have a meet then :cool: Whatcha doin in Vegas in that time frame?

[mikey_b]

I’m from Vegas, off Charleston and Durango. I found some good beginner off roading near warm springs and Fort Apache. You actually go up those mountains tons and tons of cool stuff. Old abandon silver mines go what seems endlessly into the mountain. I’ve made it probably 100 yards in before I chickened out but if you go with a group it could be real fun. From the top it has a really beautiful view of the city at night. Also some good trails out by lake Mojave that you can rally on, again tons of fun. I’m working in LA for the next couple months but it would be really neat if we could meet up at Timbers or Roadrunner for breakfast and go tear it up.

I'll add you to my buddy list and catch up with you next time I’m in town. I'll be down for Memorial Day but I'll be driving the BMW. So do you do outdoor stuff? When I first got to Vegas all I did was the club thing but last year I mixed it up a little. Dude there is so much outdoor stuff to do you wouldn’t believe it. For work I'll just say I do power plant stuff.... I used to work at one of the plants off Apex near the NASCAR track in Vegas but now I work for myself. How about you?

Yeah I love to do outdoor stuff I like fishing, camping you know that old chestnut :laugh: I go up to Kalispell, Montana every now and then and have fun up there camping and so on. What is there in Vegas to do?

For work I am an Apprentice Electrician for GSL, im working on the Hospital up north on durango and deer springs (I think that is the street name)

Well there is to much to mention but I spent the majority of last summer at lake Mojave. Tons of fish, good size striper during the day and cat fish at night. Cliff jumping swimming hiking all kinds of stuff. There are also some dry lake beds out there that are a blast to drive around on.

If I were to go and do that stuff you mentioned would i need a 4WD SUV or will my 2WD TB do?

I didnt notice that..... yah to get to most of the cool places you need 4X4. There are a ton that you dont need it I guess but those tend to have more people and are a little more used..

[SteveTB03]

damnit!!:hissy: yeah that sux well i guess ill have to add a lot of weight to my trunk space and put it into 1st gear and take it easy hahaha or ill have to have people pull me out a lot. So what's the farthest youve traveled to go outdoorsing? not a word but u get it :)

[SIK ENVY]

what color? and TV does he have maybe i've seen him??? :)

Yeah SikEnvy that would be nice to have a meet then :cool: Whatcha doin in Vegas in that time frame?

my friend doesn't have a TV. and, I'll be in town being the best man in his wedding. that's why Saturday might be tough, plus, that Saturday night, there is tenatively a UFC event planned. if it happens, I'm there!

[jpa]

Most of where I go is out by aliante or right off Losee near 215, a couple of my friends and I go out there. My friend's got a lifted Blazer K55 so I usually defer to him when we do the offroad thing, the trailblazer definitely wasn't designed for offroading stock. I've only been in town since August, but I get out a lot.

I'll also be the first to agree there's a lot to nevada that isn't las vegas. However as the economic engine of the state, las vegas gets 99% of the attention.

[Clayton]

Im new to Nevada how far is that from Vegas?

400 miles north, up 95...

Roughly 7 horus, give or take depending on how fast you drive.

Seeing how many NV TV'ers there are in Vegas, looks like I'd be the one driving to a Nevada meet:ugh:

[SteveTB03]

So is everyone here interested in a meet somewhere?? :D I would love to go to one maybe we could all decide on where to go to meet, so on and so forth.


????????????????????

Or we could all head out somewhere like Tonopah...not sure there's a whole lot to do up there...but we could do it! :)

[SteveTB03]

that sounds like real fun!!! :yes:

[Clayton]

That would definitely make my trip easier! Though Vegas could be fun...haven't been in a few years.

I think, last trip I made, Tonopah had a McDonalds, a grocery store, and a Tesoro. And a stretch of highway. Find a meeting place?

(And again, I don't have too big a problem heading down to Vegas. Maybe we could get the SoCal guys to come out too...not that bad of a drive.)

[Scalarrthu]

I'm here! I live off Durango and the 95. If my schedule permits I would be up for getting together. I'm sure a few of the other SS guys I know here in town would be too.

[SteveTB03]

U live on 95 and durango?? i work at the hospital being built there. surprised i've never seen you before! :laugh: if all of you guys want to meet lets do it!!!:woohoo:

[jpa]

Hell, I'm just east of you guys, drive past that every day when I take the 215 ALL THE WAY AROUND down to warm springs. I've probably seen you guys on the road, I see lotsa SS's around here. I've got the silver LS with the smashed up rear bumper, haven't had time to fix it yet...if you see me honk! :)

Yeah for sure I will if I see you, and if you see me I have a midnight blue TB LS with no roofrack so honk if you see me. I've been working at the Hosp. for like 6 months or so.

I see a lot of TB's in Vegas but there seems like to me that there isn't a lot on trailvoy.:confused:

[TheEricHarris]

Hey guys,

Introducing myself...

My gilfriend Danielle drives the TBSS. If you see a silver TBSS with the plate "FAST RN" speeding around LV, that's her :)

I drive a 2006 Orange GTO with the plate "AHHYEAH".

Anyways, anyone taken their TBSS for warranty work here? I need a dealer that can fix some common issues (tailgate seal, headliner drooping, foglights shake) and not waste my time (do it right first time).

I'm all for meeting up anywhere. In-n-Out off Sahara/15 is one of the more popular placecs for car meets. The drag strip is also a fun place to hang out and get some passes. We've taken the TBSS once, and the best Danielle could get was a 14.8 at 95 with a 2.4 60' (what was killing her). Doesn't sound fast, but it's not bad for Vegas. About what most of the stock 2005 Mustangs and 350zs are running. Not bad for a 4800lb SUV!

Lets get a meet setup!

lol, that's right I forgot about midnight mayhem. That would be funny, considering I was joking with one of the guys at work about that very thing. He wants me to lift my truck and go yahooing in the desert, I told him I was gonna slam it and put hoosier racing slicks on it! We could all roll in there together, I'll put a baby seat in the back and everything. People will think we're an elite drag racing team like John Force or something. :hahano: :hahano:

[TheEricHarris]

Yeah, MM is fun to watch but sucks to race......too may fwd ricers putting water everywhere, no track prep, and 400 cars.

I usually take the GTO on Wednesday night Street Wars. Was just there last night, had a blast!

I've only seen one other TBSS out there (a black one), so it would be fun to be the minority!

When does all of the stock street drags happen?

We should really go and do that, you know for sh*t$ and giggles come in there with like ten of us we'd be the talk of the night!!! :cool:

[Boatkrazi]

Hey Steve - maybe we could get a bunch of the Vegas TB'ers together for a run thru Red Rock. I hear it's a nice drive, and 2x's could do it as well.:cool:
Here's a link:

[SIK ENVY]

I found out the wedding I'm in is at 4:30pm on the 7th so I'll be able to do a morning meet. even if it's a small meet that would be cool. although I'm not sure if I'll be bringing my Voy or my brother's truck. I'll push to take my Voy if you guys wanna meet up! I'll be arriving on the 4th in the afternoon, so whenever anyone wants to meet up will be cool with me. whuchyall think? :undecided

[lightguypro]

so any dates when we going to hit red rock?

[SteveTB03]

If anybody wants to hit up red rock maybe we could do it on June 2, 2007 it's on a saturday in 2 weeks we could meet up sometime in the morning somewhere have a little bite to eat and go have some fun at red rock. Does anybody want to do that? Any other suggestions of times/places/things to do?

[Boatkrazi]

June 2nd sounds good to me!:)
pick a place to meet, either for breakfast, or after people have had their own breakfast.

[SteveTB03]

Alright well we got three people now to go with us anybody else????:D

I don't know what's around the red rock area to eat or what have you so maybe lightguypro could help us out??!! or if boatkrazi has any places?

[lightguypro]

well if we meet up at red rock casino..on charleston and 215..you drive up charleston..and it takes you to red rock cayon..but theres a big shopping center there...i will see what kind of resturants are there..besides the burger king..unless you guys like that
i will let you know tomorrow
but near my house trop and 215 theres a ihop, dennys, egg works...all kinds of stuff.
let me know what type of food,,fast or sit down.
but i want to go to red rock as soon as it gets out of the shop..been in since thursday..lol

[SteveTB03]

Alright please let me know. whats it in for?

[lightguypro]

that supercharger noise i told you about..they tried to say it was normal and from the advice of the guys here i had the service show me another trailblazer and show me that its normal..and so he did..and the noise wasnt there..so i just simply said to get it fixed please...they dont have a clue.
he tried to say its cause mine had close to 36,000 miles on it and i told him so these engines dont last up to 36,000 miles..then replace it.
he kinda looked at me wierd and i said you see how that didnt make sense..lol
but anyhow..we will see..but how many people are willing to go to red rock?

[Boatkrazi]

My Wife & I are in! June 2nd, meet somewheres over by the Red Rock Casino for breakfast, then tour thru Red Rock Canyon.
The paved drive thru the park is something like 13 miles. We could find a good photo op along the way and take some nice shots of our TrailVoys.
