Default ...trying to get some posts going here at Doink...

May as well make it official...Is Tamarack gonna work? They have a good parking lot, sa good as any other I guess.

Another alternative is to meet behind the warehouses at Old virinia and Zolezzi/ Damonte. We could probably screw around in those lots without any hassels.

We have agreed on the 21st around 11 though, correct?

Easiest way is to take 395 south, exit Damonte ranch, go right towards Old 395, make a left and its on the right.

Okay, 11:00 am, December 21st at Tamarack.

Also, were is the best place in town to get your car detailed and maybe even buffed to get the scratches out. Since I bought the car, I have noticed swirl marks and Subaru has tried to get rid of them, but I still can kinda see them.

Just don't post 5 times, and that's what it'll stay! Wait... I got a better idea <open's admin panel>... you're now the doink.net bus driver! Feel free to let me know when you want to retire.

I'm in for 11am on the 21st! Hopefully the weather will be decent.

..."Da Mearsss!"

"What abouts the Bears, on a bus, in the Indianapolis 500?"

..."Is Ditka drivin da bus?"

"Yeah, Ditka's drivin..."

..."Da Bearsss!!"

Default Weather Update

Okay ya'll, here's the current weather outlook for the meet according to weather.com:

http://www.weather.com/weather/detail/89511?dayNum=5
(this link may be incorrect after today, since there's no real date in the URL)

Few Snow Showers

Wind:
From the West Southwest at 6 mph

Precip: 30 %

Max. Humidity: 69 %

UV Index: 2 Minimal

So it looks like a 30% chance of rain/snow... my guess that chance'll be a bit higher for a trip up into the hills.

Here's a
link to the 10 day outlook for Reno.

We could always meet ther still , and just have lunch..???.. I doubt we'll want to cruise anywhere if the weather is bad.

Anyone know of any big open lots where we could "practice" drifting.?

They're big lots, but with the holiday shopping, I don't think drift practice will go unnoticed, and I don't think we'll go un-arrested. There are some empty lots out behind South Meadows if people don't mind risking the trespassing charges. hehe

Okay, new weather update:

from: http://www.weather.com/weather/detail/89511?dayNum=2

36°F (Feels Like 28°F)
Rain / Snow
Wind: From the South at 12 mph
Precip: 50 %
Max. Humidity: 71 %

Things are looking bleaker for a nice sunny day... 50% chance of snow and it's gonna be cold.

However, if it's not stormy, it'll be a great photo-op for pictures of nice AWD cars parked somewhere in the snow! Perhaps we can find an empty lot covered in snow and get some pictures on a pristine white backdrop with mountains and shit. Ya know, use the weather to our advantage... I need a new windows background!

Sounds good. I'm still into a meet no matter what the weather is doing, but going for a drive? that depends on weather, but picture time sounds cool.
