Michigan Owners...Let's Meet...But When?

[ssmontecarlo82]

Hey all Michigan Owners,

A couple of Michigan members and I have tried two or three times to put together a meet, with each time being a strikeout. I suppose the best way to get everyone on board with a meet is to get your input as to when the best time for a meet is, in your humble opinions. I'm creating this thread with the intent to turn it into a poll that will allow us to see what the majority's best time is to meet. We can then take it from there.

Here's the options that I see so far:
During the week in May
A weekend in May
During the week in June
A weekend in June
During the week in July
A weekend in July

Let's get your input!

Matt

[brochad]

Not that this matters much... But I will be in the Flint area from 16-27 June, home on leave.

[Michblaze02]

*bump*

[Michblaze02]

Just wanted to keep her active here, and finally get myself member status.:woohoo:

[stealth03]

not tryin to hijack but id like there to be a meet. im actually tryin to part out my car and since rims/lowering springs/color matching grills are a hassle to ship id want local priority.

[ssmontecarlo82]

So far, of the impressive 4 votes logged, it appears the majority votes for a meet on a weekend in June. Cool...so what weekend works for everyone?

[T-BlazinOn22s]

I think the Gratiot Cruise is June 16th if anyone is in the area.

I'll go to the meet if its not too far... 12.2 MPG @ $3.699/GAL is kind of an ass kicker. But all weekends are good for me except Sundays because I work nights and my week starts at 10 P.M. Sunday.

Also takin a few days off in the middle (11-14) if the votes end up in there somewhere.

P.S. Stealth: what kinda rims and coils you getting rid of?

[chiax]

i would for sure be there when and were and i just got my new envoy last fri . so lets get it done !!!! and what all are you trying to get rid of stealth??? better description ??

[Michblaze02]

I'm thinking a little later in the month, not 100% sure which weekends I'll be taking off for sure yet. So far the first and second weekends are booked. I'm thinking maybe one of the last 3 weekends in June, I go up to Traverse City quite a bit so most weekends I have off thats were you'll find me. But what ever works best for everyone, I'll do my best to see what I can work out with what ever we come up with. As for during the week im never doing anything unless in class or im modding something so as far as what t-blazinon22s said id be good for the 12th or 14th for sure.

[highrider2007]

I just came over from the genvibe forums (because I just recently owned a vibe) and I know that they are lookin for ppl for a bigger turnout also at their meet. They call it the 'supermeet' - the big meet of the year and this year they are inviting everyone - even if you don't own a Vibe. I believe its the saturday of July 14th at Stoney Creek Metropark....if anyone is interested...i'll give you more details....i'll probably more than likely be going...but if everyone is up for a different meet..count me in.

[SSBlazer85]

I'm up for a meet of any kind. That "supermeet" sounds like fun. I would like to get more info on it.

[Michblaze02]

So who alls on the list so far for sometime in June?

[highrider2007]

[ssmontecarlo82]

Sounds pretty cool. I agree with what one member said earlier...I'm up for a meet of any kind...let's just do it!

Also, has anyone from our group contacted the meet organizer? I'd be interested to see if what he needs people to bring, any admission cost, club fee, blah blah blah. I can make contact if anyone else hasn't already.

Highrider, you think these guys are gonna get all flustered when a caravan of Trailvoys rolls in? :)

Thanks for finding out and posting all the information!

[highrider2007]

Haha...one of the really active members on the site said "Good idea. As long as there no one there with spinners we'll be ok j/k....I guess if they have spinners I'll just deal with it for a few hours lol." So, hes all for it...I think everyone is looking for a larger turnout cause last year they only have 8 Vibes show up...Michigan crowd is dyin out I guess. But hopefully I wont get sick this time and I'll see everyone there :)

[SSBlazer85]

[Michblaze02]

I'm in most likely:thumbsup:

[ssmontecarlo82]

Sweet...this should be a cool meet. At least a couple of us will be there and perahps we can get something together for the future! I'm jacked cause this will be like the first official Michigan meet...

[Michblaze02]

Tell me about it, it's been just you and I the past 2 or so months trying to get something in action. I better show up regardless huh.

[ssmontecarlo82]

Now we gotta get MichEnvoyBoy on board, cause him and I were going to meet back in January, but we missed each other by 15 friggin minutes.

[highrider2007]

Man, I better be able to show up for this meet or I'm gonna feel like a dumbass invitin and tellin everyone..haha. I'll give the guy from genvibe a rough estimate on whos comin....should be pretty fun. For whoever hasn't been to stoney creek before, theres golf, 2 beaches, disc golf, canoe and boat rentals and paddle boats if any one wants to kill time....but who says enjoyin the vehicles and the weather wont be good enough ;)

[ssmontecarlo82]

Highrider, you should post the specifics about your truck in the User CP above. It'll appear above your location when you post new replies. And thanks again for getting us the info.

[ZEUS2004]

this saturday at Milan, Street wars i am goin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[michiganTB]

so we are getting a group together to go to the stoneycreek supermeet? ill have to see as the time comes but i think it is safe to assume id would be able to make it out there.

[EnvoyBoy04]

I'll try to make it. Usually the family and I go up north every other weekend and the 14th falls on one of those weekends. This does sound fun though. Looks like I'll be the only XUV there if I end up going. :woot:

[ssmontecarlo82]

A couple more of us and we might outnumber the Vibes at their own meet!

[highrider2007]

A couple more of us and we might outnumber the Vibes at their own meet!


haha now wouldn't that be funny...lol. I know its just not gonna be all vibes. Hes got a list up at the site on whos going...by my name is ...
Ashley and all her trailblazer friends ....

haha I think it should be a pretty good turnout. If all of us keep our word then it will be :)

[Michblaze02]

Any of you have a tech 2 or could get ahold of one for the meet, I've had my tuned core pcm now for about a month and a half sitting around to get the case relearn done on it.

[Michblaze02]

Just curious who's on the list for the meet.

[stealth03]

im down for a meet let me know when and where so i can take off work

[Michblaze02]

Take a look a few pages back, there are a few posts talking about were and when already. Looks like July 14th is the date atleast so you know.

[LOWRIT00]

Im in was well! :woot::thumbsup: Too bad I just got a fresh ding in the rear passenger door, dont know what happened or what hit it but it was loud! I was driving when this had happened, dont know what the cause was, but I do have the out-come on the door.

O - well just another thing to repaint when I get my new Denali bumpers.

[highrider2007]

oh man....friends from Minnesota are coming on the 13th and staying for the weekend for big party in Canada...lets just hope i'm not sick enough on the 14th so I can show :(

[Michblaze02]

What are you talking about, bring them with you.:D Any of them drive a trailvoy, ah it doesn't matter bring'em anyway.

[SSBlazer85]

What are you talking about, bring them with you.:D Any of them drive a trailvoy?

I second that:thumbsup:

[dubduce18s]

Yeah, I could drag them along. I drive a cavalier though, or in other words ... an ant compared to a TB :sadcry:

[Michblaze02]

Just trying to keep this thread active:). Is anyone in for sure for the meet, could start taking a count.

[chiax]

is anyone that is going leaving from or around the downriver or the 94 an 275 area if so hit me up we could have a caravan out there from what i got out of it not that close to me so hit me up

[Michblaze02]

It's official, im off on the 14th:woot:.

[Michblaze02]

:mad: Well I might not be able to show up after all, we'll see what happens. Found out today that my a/c compressor is shot and from what I've been reading on here it won't be cheap. Sounds like somewhere around $800:eek:. So if im able to get her in and repaired by sat ill be there, but if not i might just have to show up anyways with my moms equinox with pictures of my tb:dielaugh:

[highrider2007]

: i might just have to show up anyways with my moms equinox with pictures of my tb:dielaugh:

I wouldn't worry about it to much. Its gonna be such a variety of vehicles, not just gonna be all Vibes from the Vibe website so I'm sure their will be a lil bit of everything..your equinox will fit right in ;) I guess afterwards now from stoney creek, there is car show going down in Mt. Clemens...I copied and pasted what the one guy said from the Vibe website.. "after the meet, there is a classic car cruise in downtown Mt.Clemens (about 20-25 minutes away from the meet) that a few of us, or everyone if they want, will be going to. Last few years they had flame thrower and burnout competitions and stuff, it was alot of fun. TONS of American muscle and alot of imports as well as bikes and everything you can think of. It's pretty close to the freeway too so if your home is south of Detroit, I-94 is right there downtown." Thats just a heads up with what is going on after the stoney meet.

[ssmontecarlo82]

I'm still in, and all fired up for it. FYI, I plan on arriving at 11AM or shortly thereafter, because I have to leave around 2PM at the latest to get to a wedding that I'll be doing.

Check out the new stickers I got just in time for the meet:

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s213/ssmontecarlo82/Jul04_0005.jpg

By the way, that monthly Mt. Clemens Saturday night car show is really awesome, but if you aren't already in a parking spot downtown by mid afternoon, I don't think you'll be able to get in to display your ride, IIRC they shut the streets down mid-afternoon sometime. Still a cool place to walk around and take in all the machinery.

See you all Saturday!

[JDebler]

I just got an '07 TB SS, I have been to Stoney Creek quite a few times for car stuff in the past. I would like to try to make it there!

-Jason

[Michblaze02]

Looks like I should be back in the game:thumbsup:. A friends brother is going to help me out and save me some big bucks, insted of $900 hes going to do if for me friday night just in time for the meet saturday for $650:woot:.

Any others for sure?

[ssmontecarlo82]

Bump....still fired up for Saturday!

[Michblaze02]

Bump...I should be repaired by tomorrow night. I'll be there on way or another.

[highrider2007]

just found out my cousins husband died in a motorcycle accident :( Have to attend a charity benefit for him tomorrow at 1:00 at a place called "the red barn" over on dequindre somewhere :( I'm gonna see if i cant still make it to the meet though to try to cheer myself up afterwards...sorry all

Ashley

[Michblaze02]

Sorry to hear that:worried:. I'm all repaired now so you know ill be there. The fiance was thinking of comming down with me, has anyone ever been to this park before. Just checking to see if she would have enough to do cause she doesn't really get the whole trailvoy thing.

[Michblaze02]

Sorry for the double post. I'll still be there should be heading out about 10:30 so would get there about noonish or a little after. Everyone is still going right? Looks like the rain is make its way threw and should be cleared up here in a bit I hope.

[highrider2007]

Hope for the people who went had a good time. I was gonna stop by but i didnt get done w/things til around 7 and by that time I didnt know if everyone was still at stoney. If anyone has pics, post!

[Michblaze02]

Think ssmontecarlo82 and I were the only ones that showed up. He stayed till around 2:20 and I headed out about 3, so if anyone showed up after that im not sure. And highrider2007 tell your boys im sorry I didn't really converse with them, felt a little out of place by myself after SS left so didn't really talk with them at all. I did however get some love from another member on the way down as I was driving on I75. A white tb pulled up besides me all while it was raining, rolled down his window(had tinted front windows) and mouthed "trailvoy" and gave me a :thumbsup:. Must have seen my trailvoy.com decals, thought that was kind of cool. I don't think the meet was a complete lost cause, atleast for me. SS and I were able to chat for awhile till he had to go, after he took off the fiance and I took a cruse around the rest of the park. From there went over to the great lakes crossing mall to see what that place was all about, don't think i've been to a park or a mall that was so huge. So we both got what we wanted in the end, overall worth the drive.

[ssmontecarlo82]

First off, highrider, sorry to hear about the death in the family. That's a tough deal man. Hope all is well otherwise.

The meet was pretty cool. The Vibe guys seem like a good bunch of dudes from the short 2+ hours I spent out there. Though it was awesome for Michblaze to come down from Bay City, I was bummed there wasn't more Trailvoy owners out there. I understand that we've all got families and obligations and stuff, but there's gotta be more Michigan owners who love their SUV enough and can find the time to come out.

Now having said all that, Michblaze has a pretty nice Trailblazer. I gotta get with him to get the contact info for the LED backup lamps. And again, it was pretty righteous for him to come all the way from Bay City to attend a meet.

Highrider, do you have the e-mail address for the local Vibe meet organizer (I think his name was Paul)? He sprung for hot dogs for everyone and didn't ask for a dime...I'd like to drop him a thank you e-mail for being so cool.

Lastly, meets like these are really good places to hang, obviously. It would have been way cool to have like even 10 Trailvoys there. I guess my question at this point is, is there enough interest among the Michigan Trailvoy community to even try and put together a meet? Paul and the Vibe guys had 4 Vibes show and some other vehicles, and he seemed reasonably happy with that turnout. Am I shooting too high if I expect a bunch of us to show somewhere (and again, I do understand that everyone has way too much going on already in their lives....it would be nice though to get some sort of feedback, either way, about meets)? C'mon all...let's get together sometime!

[Michblaze02]

Just give me a time and date and i'll be there, think I already proved that this last meet. The weather might of had something to do with not as many coming out this time. I had already put in for a vacation day off, so I was going to do something regardless :thumbsup:.

[JDebler]

I am pretty bummed that I couldn't make it either. I was looking forward to it but my life got turned upside down as well. Not nearly as bad as what was previously posted, but enough to where I couldn't make it. Sorry, guys.

Here's an idea I just want to throw out there...

Every year I run an event at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex drag strip in Stanton called the Michigan GM Event (or the "M Event"...heard of it?).
Here is the event web site:
http://www.migmevent.com

I don't know how many of you are interested in racing your TBs, but if it would help facilitate a meeting, we could always do it there. I am sure there will be Trailblazers participating but you don't have to race if you just want to come and watch and hang out. The hotel parties the night before and after are always fun. So would this work? I can offer a group discount of anyone is interested. Thoughts are welcome.

I know this is a dead thread but I live like a mile south of Stoney Creek.
I should have lurked more over the summer.

:duh: Deffinitly need to lurk a little more in the meet sections in spring/summer, one of the best things about trailvoy is meeting up with fellow members and showing off your ride.

Thinking maybe sometime in the spring we'll have to start talking about when would be a good time to meet up with our group from Mich again.

[JDebler]

Heh...we can always shoot for my next event on October 4. (See post #57 above)

[Michblaze02]

Should give that one a try again this year for sure. Hopefully we can shoot for doing 1 a month again this year. I'm hoping with all the new members from Mich this winter, that we should have some good turn outs this go round.

Due to work schedules, I am wondering if a sunday would be better? Lets get a list started. I am in.

[Michblaze02]

Seemed like last year we did whatever worked out for the group best as far as which day on the weekend would be better.

Now I have a full time job, part time job, and part time school this year as well as getting married in June. As long as I have a good enough heads up most likely I am always in though.
