[nbaker00]

WINTER/SNOW PHOTOSHOOT:

WHEN: Saturday, December 6th, 2008... 1PM Meet up time
WHERE: Home Depot Parking Lot On McLeod Trail (Across from Chinook)

MORE Details coming soon..

A "snow photoshoot" it would be. Bring out your winter car, or be ironic and bring out your sports car/convertible :nut:

Bring your camera!

Any photographers care to join one of us?

[DNSRadio]

i would be interested.

[403ep3]

My car is not up to par yet =(

[jjmac]

I'm in. Just pm details.

[sxtothe240]

I wouldn't mind, but it really depends on what day

[nbaker00]

If there is snow on Friday, I was thinking of then. If not, the Saturday the 13th... Will be snow by then.

[sxtothe240]

where abouts do you think you'll be having this?

[nbaker00]

Meet up in the SE, then maybe go downtown... Or if someome has a good location in the SE.
I'm really open to suggestion if people are interested.

[sxtothe240]

it really doesn't matter to me. anywhere works. I was just wondering if you had a location in mind.

maybe the infamous downtown parking lot ?
not sure if u know what I'm talking about, but I've seen alot of people take pictures there with the downtown background.

[nbaker00]

Yea if enough people are interested in one of those 2 dates, PM me and I will update my original post..

Feel free to throw out location suggestions guys...

[max_boost]

I'm interested. Keep us updated. As long as it's before 3pm on Sat/Sun I am in!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[nbaker00]

I was gonna do it later.. But hey, like I said, I'm really open to everyone's suggestions..

[sxtothe240]

oh I assumed it would be early to catch the sun

[nbaker00]

Whatever works..
I am open to suggestions..
You guys name the time, and the place, and I will update my original post.

[jdmXSI]

I think I would be in as long as it's on a Sunday.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I would be interested, depending on how short my gf makes my leash. A saturday morning/afternoon would probably be the best for me.

[nbaker00]

K, everyone just pick a time, location, and we will do it..
I am cool with earlier afternoon if that makes it easier for everyone.

[jjmac]

Oh damn, if there's too much snow I doubt I'll be able to drive my car. I guess I'll bring my corolla lol

[nbaker00]

G35's handle snow fine..
You will be alright :D

I was gonna bring something even sketchier then a G35 out haha.

[inline6turbo]

Way to steal my thunder Norman :banghead:

I didn't know we were making this a big thing. I've been telling people Friday evening, but anytime this weekend works for me still.

[nbaker00]

I was gonna do just a small thing at first..
But can always do a small one, and big one:D

[inline6turbo]

ya ya ya... I see how it is.

And no one bitch about the snow, my good friend jeff is braving the weather in his Viper for this, I give him mad props.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Snow will only make it better for me...

[nbaker00]

Haha, STI ftw!
I love them soo much.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I'm so excited for the first snowfall. I want to play with the AWD and the blizzaks.

I'm also enjoying the heated drivers seat haha.

[inline6turbo]

> is so jealous

[nbaker00]

KK.. When everyone actually decides what day(s) and time they want this to happen, let me know so I can update original post and get more people involved.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I vote for saturday! around 1-2?

[jjmac]

Shit, I just remembered that my G35 will be parked on December 8 =( we gonna do this before the 8th?

[inline6turbo]

We will plan for the 6th then :)

[nbaker00]

Original post sorta' updated..

We should do a variety of places. mmmhmmm I can think of a couple. We should meet at Chinook, nice and simple, lots of space, back parkade, upper deck.

I suggest Scottsman's Hill by Stampede. It's a long strip for many cars to park and we can start the photoshoot there, then head to downtown like suggested?

Do you have a Porsche Cayman S? If you do please bring that!

Unless you have Carrera GT bring that instead!

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I say a Lotus. I've never been close to one aside from the auto shows. I want to sit in one! haha.

[nbaker00]

Sorry, I have neither guys :(

Audi S4?

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

RS4!

Give us a list, we'll pick!

[nbaker00]

Go to website, or click my sig.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Either the S4 quattro, s2k, g35 coupe, mazdaspeed 3, mini cooper s, or the supercharged 350z.

My pick is the 350z

[TYMSMNY]

^ no.. not another 350. Bring... the Speed3. :D

I'll swing by on the 6th Norman.

[sxtothe240]

is this a ballin car event or something? LOL

[ercchry]

ohhh i might have the 18x10/13js on by then.... if i do i will stop by

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

[adam c]

The supercharged 350Z feels stock... I was dissapointed when i drove it.. The big differences were it sounds frickin' awesome. And plus, on dry payment, it just spins.. So I don't think it will handle snow well.:nut:

[jjmac]

Here's a couple of pix, but this was taken with my point and shoot so it's a bit low quality. When I go to Banff, I'll use my DSLR and hopefully get better pix.

Nice nice. I'll definitely keep those in mind.

btw, did you guys set up a date and time yet? I didn't notice in the previous post or I could just be too tired to notice lol

[nbaker00]

I edited it in original post.
Saturday 6th, 1pm
Meet at top floor Chinook mall (Same place as Wed. meets)

One member did suggest that it will be pretty packed to meet there. So dunno..

Side note, any photographers want to tag along with one of us?

[jjmac]

O ok.

The upper parking lot is the one behind the Cineplex Theaters correct? I've never been to Wednesday meets so yea.

Did you decide on the ride you'll bring??

[TYMSMNY]

Behind Zellers....

and on a Sat. Afternoon, close to Christmas... it might be packed.

[nbaker00]

If people don't know where it is.. I can always meet up with them somewhere else, and they can follow me over.. I will be at the dealership in the morning (Deerfoot/Heritage Meadows) if anyone wants to meet there, then follow to Chinook (or anywhere else)..

Chinook will be packed.. Do we really want to meet there?


No haven't decided what I'll bring.. I will know Friday.. I will spend Friday night polishing to make it perfect for Saturday:thumbsup:

You having a detailing night at the dealership? PM with details. :D

Find another spot where there's a little space.. if not a little shelter against the weather.

Just like I said, here's a pic that I took today near Banff

I was gonna photoshop in those rims you posted with the White G35 but I got lazy lol

[04es]

i'll be there all depending on whether or not i get a stupid battery for my winter car

[nbaker00]

Looks sweet man!

And pm'ed you TYMSMNY

[torob]

i'd like to come, maybe with a friend, and maybe play around with the rebel xti
no ride though

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Finally, I'll be one of the nicer cars!

Your smurf wasn't too Shabby.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I guess. I loved the thing, but everytime I was in it, it felt like a go-kart.. And you can only live with that so long. It felt very stripped down.

[jjmac]

What about now? What do you feel in an STI? Don't be shy with the details :burnout:

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I feel like I need to keep a box of tissues at all times.
You know, for when the car beats the snot out of me. >.>

I like the space the interior offers. I like the power windows, and locks. I like the heated seat, and I love the automatic climate control.

The gauges are wonderful especially at night, and I love watching that boost gauge just fly.

I'm comfy as hell, I feel ridiculously safe, and people can't cut me off anymore (yes... they tried today... baha).

Best of all is that it's (believe it or not) a smoother, comfier ride. More luxurious. It's really nice, having those rear doors for when I throw shit in the back.

I love having a center console to throw my shit in, and I love having a real cup holder haha.

I know some people think that you should always pay the extra for an '05 over an 04', but I don't regret this purchase for a second.

[nbaker00]

STI is the perfect winter car:D You should be happy with it.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Mine doesn't say Subaru. Previous owner debadged the "WRX Impreza" and the "SUBARU" lettering, and replaced it with "IMPREZA" lettering.

[nbaker00]

I would debadge the Impreza, and just leave the STI logo.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I like it. It's one of those little things no one would notice unless your an enthusiast, or it was pointed out (side by side).

[DNSRadio]

yeah looks unique with just the imprz and sti

:D Any suggestions as to a meeting place?

[jjmac]

I suggested Scottsman's hill by Stampede. The one that views the whole downtown. It's a pretty long strip too, enough parking space.

[nbaker00]

No clue where that is lol.
Had a suggestion from some to meet across from Chinook.. (Might not be as busy)

[inline6turbo]

The Home Depot parking lot at the very back right beside macleod trail? Good idea

[nbaker00]

Correct.. That was the suggestion.
Then follow to locations.
