JFK this time.

It is 3 hours from when you get off the plane. I always seem to have the worst luck with rental places and the person behind the counter trying to sell me everything from insurance to a piece of ass before I can get out there.

I will give that a shot.

Oh boy...that's a rough drive as far as traffic goes. so the best route would be 678(Van wyck) to 95 west(cross bronx) to 87 north. What time are you getting into ny and what day?

The JBR crew is driving 2 cars 13+ hrs to OCC. I think we may have the longest commute.

Shot you guys an email, meet for some sushi or some old school Itailian.

Here:Don Peppe - Ozone Park - New York Magazine Restaurant Guide

6:30am, Saturday morning.

Any authentic Italian mobsters there too?

We toyed around with the idea of driving out but it takes 42 hours.....

@CorkSport

Yes there are, the place is authentic. Pidgeon racing trophies, pictures of the local NYC Dons. Hay we have a bit of a convoy up to OCC in the a.m. want to join in?

Last time we had to get a head start, the rental POS couldn't keep up with Gerry and the rest of the guys.

ooo so that was you???

Hey sorry I might have missed this guys, but I registered on the site for the OCC meet. Do I pay the $5 when I get there for a goodie bag or was there something else set up?
Pretty excited for this, OCC is like 25 mins from my parents house.

You pay on site bro.

@Guerra88

anyone heading up 287 in jersey?????

I will be going to occ in our white VW galaxy wagon.

At least you're coming

Stay tuned for convoy info.

Where in NJ are you?

It would be nice to actually hangout with the nator guys this year lol

Yes it would Storm, Like I said put my kids to work so you can chill! They are cheap a tee shirt that says staff and they will be in hog heaven!

I can definitely do that, but they're an ugly yellow.....lol

The kids will love it! lol

Sizes?

@CorkSport Derrick!!!! PM me or email me with the name that you put for the reservation at the hilton

Is your ms3 the one I always see at creek?

i wish hahaha. creek is so fucking expensive that i stopped snowboarding actually :( .. i still have my board so maybe next winter it'll be the new one you see up there hahah

I'll be going, but not sure if I should be spending the 5$
Will this have me parking in a spot where people will be scoffing at my car for being stock?

..?

May as well not come at all.

I'm a meet nub...
This is what I'm referring to, from here:
http://meetregistration.com/occ/

Unfortunately, due to operating costs, we are forced to charge a $5.00 fee which will be collected at the gate for Mazda Drivers who wish to park their Mazda at the meet. Included with the parking fee will be a goodie bag and 5 raffle tickets. There is no fee for spectators attending the meet.

If my mod list was as extensive as yours I wouldnt even ask

yeah i read that.. so what? first of all you have a mazda and your at the meet which is cool in my book and probably everyone else's. just because you don't have mods doesn't mean we are going to think less of you haha. Its an "all mazda" meet after all ... We aren't like the VW owners at Waterfest where they flipped a honda that came. (or so I've heard)

And if the $5 is what you really care about-- no comment. Really $5.00 hahaha save your lunch money for one day and you'll be able to afford it!! Or if your that cheap and that scared of people looking at your car= don't bring it and come just to look for FREE; yes FREEEEEEEEEEE

Just making sure i shouldnt be comong as a "spectator" since i will be leaving my car and "spectating".

My social inneptitude is already apparent, cant wait to show my people skills off
=\

Looks like ill be waiting another month to order an AP and internals due to the entrance fee :(

My comment was about paying 5 bucks not about no mods.

Raffles dude raffles, lotsaloot to be had! I'll pick up the $5 for you.

NY Nator look at the tee shirt thread,posted mock up.

In the 5 years I've been doing this meet I can GUARANTEE that you will NOT be the only stock mazda there. $5 will get you 5 raffle tickets, the list of sponsors are companies that are donating prizes for this raffle. You also get to select which prizes you want to be entered to win. This is a good place for you to start looking for ideas for future mods AND even better actually talk to the vendors of these products so you can base your decision on buying actually comparing the products together. The biggest names for this platform will be there. @www.cp-e.com, @Cobb Tuning, @CorkSport, @jbarone. This is NOT a car show this is a car MEET. I do this because I love my mazda and I want to get to meet the people I would normally not get to talk to outside of the message boards. The real question is why wouldn't you pay the $5?

<3 Storm

For a badass meet I'll be happy to pay the $5. I'll even garnish the bill with pubic hair at no extra cost.

im stock and im coming....BT's and mods are for people with small weenies

If your car is stock and you pay the $5 to park with everyone else, when people walk around looking at cars they don't stop at cars that are stock point, laugh and make fun of you, they'll just walk passed it and onto the next car.

If you bring an extra $10 I might have a leftover one of these, I printed a few extras. No promises but I might have.

Totally agreed with @Grumpyjap, $5 is really cheap just to see all the cars there and to see the OCC stuff. Not to mention the raffles and the ability to talk with all of these great vendors.
And I'm getting my whole car tinted from tintmasters, for the discount they have, I'm saving way more than $5 :headbang:
Grumpyjap is the man for putting this meet together.

I have an announcement:

I have mods so I wanted to see if what Mike said was true, and it's true! :( I have a tiny penis.

:cry:

Good thing I have mods, huh?
