There is a very good possibility that I might be in the area on Sept. 14. Just have to check it out a little bit more. I'll let you guys know!
The rain might have been a good thing after all!

17VtecE: There are some good places in Old Town, and also at Reston Town Center (but that's like 20 miles away). There are bound to be other good places to shop, I just can't think of any right now.
Anyway peeps, bring your friends, and your friend's friends, and your friend's friend's friends, and we should have a whole butt-load of people there

. I wonder if we should get some food to cook together, or if we should all just go attack a Burger King. I kind of like the thought of storming some place with 15 or so Civics

i think it would totally sweet to, like you said, "storm" a food joint...like Burger King or McD (and indulge in some animal carcases and feces that they call hamburgers[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]) oooh, what about Taco Bell??
Sometimes, I can see right through myself ...

I'm sorry, but if we're "storming" some kinda fast food place, lets go somewhere like Chik-Fil-A. A place that actually has quality food. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Excellent! That way we get to "show off" our cars a little bit, and everyone is responsible for their own food.

I don't think i can make it then either guys. I am getting my wisdom teeth out the day before on Friday the 13th!
I will probably still be in lots of pain and maybe even on pain killers so driving down to VA would not be the best things. Sorry. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Well guys, I guess count me in for the 14th. I may or may not have an exhaust by then that we can have fun installing. I'm still stuck on either a DC TCS or GReddy EVO. I can get either one for about $500 shipped. $500 is a lot to part with, so I kinda wanna make my decision wisely. I'm leaning towards the DC TCS though. We'll see.

awww MAN! I was so excited to get back from my vacation just in time for this meet and now I find out it's been postponed til the 14th
oh well, looks like good things are happening because of it
I look forward to seeing a whole lotta faces there! I may have an AEM SRI to install, maybe a rear strut tower bar too. wah, i have to wait a whole two weeks 

well, this is fortunate, since I haven't ordered my SRI or rear strut bar yet 
the idea of storming into a food joint sounds cool [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
on the way down to the beach house last week I saw this:

just found out he's a member on this site! props to the 7th Gens! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

[B]Guess what peeps
? I just remembered that I've had a church activity planned for the past month for the 14th @ 6:00PM 

. That means I'm going to have to dip out @4:30 

. I can't believe I forgot about it, since I've known about it for so long, but I guess stuff happens [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]. I'm really sorry guys, but I'm sure you can find SOME way to have fun without me at the end
. Geez, I was really lookin' forward to just hangin' out [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] .
On another note, it seems like more and more people are telling their friends, and word is getting out [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] . We have about 15 people on the attendance list, and more are sure to come
. Since I'm leaving at 4:30, I'm probably going to show up at Tyson's between 2:00 - 2:30, and just chill with my girlfriend and my friend Kris (with a '94 Integra). I can't wait to meet everyone there, even if I'm not there for long
. If anyone cares to be part of the "early crowd", you're more than welcome to join.
BTW, how late is everyone planning on staying? And what time is everyone planning on getting there?

I'll try to show up early also.. I have an SRI to install
I say we just hold the meet earlier in the day. like 1pm maybe? thisway after several hours we'll all be hungry and we can attack a food joint at full force 
also, is there any kind of metro parking lot or other kind of wide open parking lot where we can hold the official meet at? someplace where other drivers can see our gathering incase another 7thGen spots us [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

As for what time we're meeting, I'll get there ASAP. I'll be driving up from Virginia Beach, which is ~3 hours away. I might drive up on Friday and stay in Fort Belvoire overnight @ the girlfriends grandparents hosue.

I agree that we should meet earlier like 1pm or so. Then before Kevin has to leave we can raid a food joint since we'll surely be hungry by then[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
I will bring my 30-some peice socket set, and my 30-some peice combination wrench set (both have metric and standard sizes), and if anyone thinks it'd be neccesary my hydraulic jack and jack stands. just lemme know

Hmmm...earlier could be good
, (I don't know why 3:00 became the official time anyway [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] ). Is everyone ok with 1:00? Also, Mex, if you have a better idea on where to go from the parking deck, that would be fine. I just spotted this little park when I took a GTI for a test drive, and I thought it would be a good place to meet(the whole park is a circle with maybe 20-25 parking places...perfect to fill with 7th gen's 

).
OK...WHAT ARE EVERYONE'S FEELINGS ON 1:00?

I'll be so much happier if its at 1!!! I'm thinking about coming, but its a 4 hour drive for me... So, I could leave at around 9 and get there at 1.... Stay like all day with you guys and not have to worry about getting home so late....
yay ;x
yay ;x

then 1pm it is. update the first post
i'm not familiar with the tysons area at all.. we could just change the meeting area to an actual parking lot @ tysons rather than all the way up the garage? or would they kick us out 
taz: I guess you could be there to help me; i've looked over the DIY several times and know I'd be able to do it, but since I'm a newb when it comes to engine mods I'll want you there to help [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I always keep a 191 piece socket set and jack stands in my trunk at all times, so I'll have tools for sure.
