my names mike, im from stockton CA....AIM = NAS14240SX

Danio · 07-22-2002, 11:27 PM

Friday 5:00 AM Meet Location
CalTrain Station at Ford Road and Monterey Highway.

Directions:
- Take either 880 South or 680 South.
- Exit and merge onto 101 South, towards Los Angeles.
- Take the Blossom Hill Road exit towards Silver Creek Valley Road.
- Turn right onto Blossom Hill Road.
- Turn left onto Monterey Road / Monterey Highway South.
- Go past the Monterey Plaza Shopping Center.
- Turn left onto Ford Road and enter CalTrain's parking lot.

Be on time!
And show up on time! I'm sure many of us will want to take pics or film our 17 240SXs before we depart. Don't let your car be left out! =)

FRS radios
Please bring at least one FRS radio and extra batteries! If you still have not gotten one, please get one. They cost from $20 to over $80. All you need is a standard one with 14 channels. Rather than flashing the blinkers and having everyone stop whenever someone has something to say, we'll just use these to contact each other while on the road. These may even come in handy in future 240SX meets, especially in areas where our mobile phones don't have reception.

Group leader
It just occured to me that TJ (San Jose) doesn't have a mobile phone, which means he won't be able to be in contact with Jeff's group, or my group if we split up. Example: If TJ's group wants to go faster because my group is too slow, TJ and I will be responsible for letting our groups stay in contact with each other through our mobile phones because the FRS radios will be out of range. It really doesn't matter who calls who but it's probably safer to just assign someone so we know that somebody is capable of contacting other groups. Does anyone in TJ's group have a mobile phone and can takeover that responsibility?

Edit: Or we can just go as the 101 group and the I-5 group. And those of us on I-5 will split up only if we really have to.

Caravan info updated.

Dang that sucks. I was wondering what you've been up to. I guess I know now.

If cole can't make it (I hope you can) then I'll have an extra spot in my hotel room, we would have 3 people so we would have 1 more spot.

For those running the track, are any of you bringing spare tires?

Also, the NorthWest Caravan is leaving for NorCal on Thursday at 7am, so we will be arriving approximately 6 hours later.  Would any of you want to meet us for early introductions?  We will be in the area of Milpitas/San Jose.  

Thank you.

TJ

BlackFox · 07-24-2002, 11:22 AM

I took my tires off and check the lugs, tread, etc.... I actually found a small nail in one tire. Didn't go through though.

I'm doing the track event and yes I'm bring my spare. Got it all filled up with air. Didn't know that sucker needs 60psi.

Who's in the NorthWest caravan? Is it just you, Ken, and Vince, or are there more coming? Just wondering so the groups can be divided evenly.

I think a small meet on Thursday with the NorthWest people might be a nice idea. Great Mall is pretty easy to find so how about at the outer part of the D&B parking lot at Great Mall? It's next to the Century Theatres parking lot. How does 7 PM sound?

One of us'll probably give you a call that afternoon.

Um.... I figure if we leave on time, 6am, then it will take us about 2 1/2-3 hours to get to SLO.

Send me an IM so i can get your cell # and stuff so we can give you a call when we get close.

Danio,

Yeah, the NorthWest Caravan is just Vince, Ken, and me.  

Cool.  How about 5-6pm at the Great Mall?  I just want to have enough sleep.  If that's too early just post a more convenient time.  Email me at [email protected] for my cell.  If one of you could also email me your cell, it would be appreciated.

Is one spare tire enough?

Thanks.

Danio · 07-28-2002, 01:32 AM

Day 1: Speedzone
Lotsa fun on those grip and drift karts, whatever they're called.

Day 2: Nissan HQ
Saw the most awesome 240SXs in CA. Nice raffle prizes, which Mike Tran won 7 of with his $180 of raffle tickets.

Day 2 - Night: Track hotel
Here's what this post is mainly about. At about 9:00 PM, at the hotel parking lot waiting for tech inspection, I found out from Rudy that Mike and his cousin, who said that they'd meet me at the hotel later, have backed out on sharing a room. I called Mike to confirm. No answer. Called again. Still no answer. No big deal. I then called his cousin, who picked up and confirmed that they decided to head back home early and won't be sharing the hotel room. Obviously I was a bit pissed off cuz 1) they didn't tell me and 2) $70 split three ways is very different from $70 paid by just me. I told Mike's cousin, probably with a raised voice, not to forget that they owe 2/3 of the cost of the room. He said he didn't know he had to pay, so I asked for Mike. Well he tried to talk out of paying, despite the fact that we had already agreed to split the cost of the hotels. Since his cousin claimed that he didn't know about it and Mike was the only one who agreed to splitting the cost, not his cousin, I told him to just pay for half, which he agreed to. Two hours later, Mike's cousin called me back saying I was trying to scam them because he called the hotel and they told him the rate for one person and two persons are the same rate of $80-something (which shouldn't have even mattered since Mike agreed to split the cost). I told him the rates are different, and that the rate for a two persons room is $70, not $80-something. He didn't believe me, which is understandable since the hotel gave him the wrong info. I told him to check the convention web site or call someone else attending the convention to confirm what I told him, which I don't think he did. I told him I want to talk to Mike but he said he's speaking for Mike. Since Mike was afraid to deal with me, I continued to discuss the matter with his cousin, with yelling coming from me which probably the entire hotel heard (Yes if you heard yelling, that was me.) and name-calling coming from him. Since the rate for one person is $10 less than the rate for two, he's only willing to pay $10, rather than split the $70 evenly. His response to them backing out after I had already reserved the room and checked in, and not telling me about it: "My bad." He said that Mike never agreed to splitting the cost, which is bullshit and I can have David back me up on this because the original plan was that Mike, David, and I would share hotel rooms and split the cost.

So what do I intend to do about this? I'll take the $10 instead of the $35 I'm owed, and inform the people who view this forum thread that Mike Tran is an irresponsible little fuck who doesn't keep his word, and lies about it.

And to Mike: Don't ever ask for rides from me again, and don't come to anymore events or meets that I organize. Some advice to you: don't break agreements, and especially don't have someone else solve your problems for you. Grow up and learn responsibility.

To the rest of you: hope you're having fun at the convention. I know I am, despite what this little prick and his cousin have done. I'm currently using the computer at the hotel. I'll see the rest of you at the track!

adey · 07-28-2002, 11:02 AM

Have fun out in socal, guys. I wish I could make it! My 240 will be there in... uh... spirit. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

S14.5 · 07-29-2002, 01:00 AM

Excuse me? you wanna talk about growing up? Then you would've just called me and talked about this man to man instead of keeping the problem between you, me and my cousin public. and yes this does involve my cousin because you wanted his money too.

i'd have more stuff to say, but why don't you just call me. or talk privately with me.

hope everyone had a good time, too bad i missed out on track day.

koto · 07-29-2002, 02:45 AM

mike....u bad boy. u take all the prize and now this...  anyway i hope u and dan clear this shit up. well i had the best time of my life. next time im goin on the track!

Danio · 07-29-2002, 03:18 AM

NorCal 240SX
On Day 2 everyone saw some of the best 240SXs in CA. On Day 3 we saw many of them in action. Cole, it's too bad you had to miss out, but dooood... I had so much fun taking your place! ^o^ It was so worth the money, which I'll pay you back at our next meet. That 3-day convention was definitely a great experience and we gotta give props to Alex for setting it up. I might go to the next one even if I have to fly there.

And about the next meet. Some of us already started talking about it at dinner while we were caravaning back. It'll probably be a couple weeks from now. I'll post a discussion thread for it later. Hopefully most of the people (except one) from the caravan to SoCal will be able to come, as well as all the others who wished they had been able to go. This should turn out to be a fun meet. ^_^

Mike Tran's shit
I'm making this problem public 1) because I don't have to talk to you through your cousin this way, and 2) so people know why I'm pissed off and would not like to see you at anymore NorCal meetings. You don't just agree to something and then back out without telling the other person, and then have somebody else deal with your problem.

I did call you, but you were hiding behind your cousin's back. Remember? We did talk about this privately. You agreed to pay what you owe, and two hours later you had your cousin change the agreement for you. Who's the one who wouldn't talk about this man to man? I don't want your cousin's money. Like I said, he never agreed to splitting the cost. Only you did. I want your money, not his. If you still want to discuss this, I'll call you again (you, not your cousin) when I'm at a place where I can do some seriously pissed off yelling again. Otherwise, just PayPal me the $10 and maybe I'll forget about this, eventually. After all, you're only friggin' 16 years old.

Another thing about your irresponsibility. Weren't you the one who was supposed to bring Josh his spoiler? Guess I'll be doing that for you. And yeah it is too bad you missed out on the track day. You could have gotten some very nice video clips. Oh well.

Edit: Mike did you even give Grant Josh's money?

CuscoMiata · 07-31-2002, 01:01 AM

Greetings 240sx Enthusiast,

I just wanted to say thanks for the great time, especially the Bay Area caravan. Hmmm, seemed like we ran a lil' late on the departure but that's expected...5am became 7am(Could've been 2 hrs of extra sleep&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Moo,
Mike

Day 2: Nissan HQ Saw the most awesome 240SXs in CA. Nice raffle prizes, which Mike Tran won 7 of with his $180 of raffle tickets. Day 2 - Night: Track hotel Here's what this post is mainly about. At about 9:00 PM, at the hotel parking lot waiting for tech inspection, I found out from Rudy that Mike and his cousin, who said that they'd meet me at the hotel later, have backed out on sharing a room. I called Mike to confirm. No answer. Called again. Still no answer. No big deal. I then called his cousin, who picked up and confirmed that they decided to head back home early and won't be sharing the hotel room. Obviously I was a bit pissed off cuz 1) they didn't tell me and 2) $70 split three ways is very different from $70 paid by just me. I told Mike's cousin, probably with a raised voice, not to forget that they owe 2/3 of the cost of the room. He said he didn't know he had to pay, so I asked for Mike. Well he tried to talk out of paying, despite the fact that we had already agreed to split the cost of the hotels. Since his cousin claimed that he didn't know about it and Mike was the only one who agreed to splitting the cost, not his cousin, I told him to just pay for half, which he agreed to. Two hours later, Mike's cousin called me back saying I was trying to scam them because he called the hotel and they told him the rate for one person and two persons are the same rate of $80-something (which shouldn't have even mattered since Mike agreed to split the cost). I told him the rates are different, and that the rate for a two persons room is $70, not $80-something. He didn't believe me, which is understandable since the hotel gave him the wrong info. I told him to check the convention web site or call someone else attending the convention to confirm what I told him, which I don't think he did. I told him I want to talk to Mike but he said he's speaking for Mike. Since Mike was afraid to deal with me, I continued to discuss the matter with his cousin, with yelling coming from me which probably the entire hotel heard (Yes if you heard yelling, that was me.) and name-calling coming from him. Since the rate for one person is $10 less than the rate for two, he's only willing to pay $10, rather than split the $70 evenly. His response to them backing out after I had already reserved the room and checked in, and not telling me about it: "My bad." He said that Mike never agreed to splitting the cost, which is bullshit and I can have David back me up on this because the original plan was that Mike, David, and I would share hotel rooms and split the cost. So what do I intend to do about this? I'll take the $10 instead of the $35 I'm owed, and inform the people who view this forum thread that Mike Tran is an irresponsible little fuck who doesn't keep his word, and lies about it. And to Mike: Don't ever ask for rides from me again, and don't come to anymore events or meets that I organize. Some advice to you: don't break agreements, and especially don't have someone else solve your problems for you. Grow up and learn responsibility. To the rest of you: hope you're having fun at the convention. I know I am, despite what this little prick and his cousin have done. I'm currently using the computer at the hotel. I'll see the rest of you at the track!

Then you would've just called me and talked about this man to man instead of keeping the problem between you, me and my cousin public. and yes this does involve my cousin because you wanted his money too. i'd have more stuff to say, but why don't you just call me. or talk privately with me. hope everyone had a good time, too bad i missed out on track day. __________________ SHOPPING-CART DRIFTAAAAH

On Day 3 we saw many of them in action. Cole, it's too bad you had to miss out, but dooood... I had so much fun taking your place! ^o^ It was so worth the money, which I'll pay you back at our next meet. That 3-day convention was definitely a great experience and we gotta give props to Alex for setting it up. I might go to the next one even if I have to fly there. And about the next meet. Some of us already started talking about it at dinner while we were caravaning back. It'll probably be a couple weeks from now. I'll post a discussion thread for it later. Hopefully most of the people (except one) from the caravan to SoCal will be able to come, as well as all the others who wished they had been able to go. This should turn out to be a fun meet. ^_^ Mike Tran's shit I'm making this problem public 1) because I don't have to talk to you through your cousin this way, and 2) so people know why I'm pissed off and would not like to see you at anymore NorCal meetings. You don't just agree to something and then back out without telling the other person, and then have somebody else deal with your problem. I did call you, but you were hiding behind your cousin's back. Remember? We did talk about this privately. You agreed to pay what you owe, and two hours later you had your cousin change the agreement for you. Who's the one who wouldn't talk about this man to man? I don't want your cousin's money. Like I said, he never agreed to splitting the cost. Only you did. I want your money, not his. If you still want to discuss this, I'll call you again (you, not your cousin) when I'm at a place where I can do some seriously pissed off yelling again. Otherwise, just PayPal me the $10 and maybe I'll forget about this, eventually. After all, you're only friggin' 16 years old. Another thing about your irresponsibility. Weren't you the one who was supposed to bring Josh his spoiler? Guess I'll be doing that for you. And yeah it is too bad you missed out on the track day. You could have gotten some very nice video clips. Oh well. Edit: Mike did you even give Grant Josh's money?
