Malkavian I'll bring the hamburger Buns!
So im not the only Kurt on this board! Sorry to steal the name buddy...cool to know theres another Kurt somewhere enjoying the sweet car I am....Thats too cool and too freaky...I'll help out as best I can as well if theres anything I can do let me know, but Im in Canada so i dont have the same US connections...
Also I realized if we do a large meet we'll have to have some sort of paper to put in the Back window of our car.... something that has mazdamp3.com on it then out names below it "KURTMP3"...I only know everyone on here by their posting names!
 
Hey Kurt (MP3TLH) i just looked at your profile....saw your email....does your last name start with a B as well?!!!! Crazy sheeeeeeet! :eek: :D
 
I just emailed Mazda NA about this interest in a meet as well......Everyone else go an do the same on their site. Start a chain of emails to get on their a**!
This is what I wrote, pardon the bad format, i hate writing in those little boxes they give you!

Hello there...I know some other people have been emailing Mazda North America about some support for a possible car meet...With the creation of the MP3 and Protege5 you at Mazda have drummed up some serious interest in your make...With this has come (as I know first hand) discussions and friendships between people who own your cars...As a result of some interesting sites popping up dedicated to your cars (mazdamp3.com namely) there has been interest in a large Mazda P5/MP3 meet somewhere in North America. Many have expressed an interest in getting Mazda NA in on this. I think if its possible you should take a serious look at this, with the increasing interest in your make due to the recent additions to the Mazda family this would only drum up further support. Lets be honest, other than the Miata groups there has been nothing like this before for Mazda. I know of quite a few who are already committed to coming to this meet, myself included. I know at least 10 others I could bring with me from Toronto and I'm sure the others could bring many with them from across North America as well. If youre interested in seeing the interest thats being drummed up just stop by www.mazdamp3.com and take a look at the forums. Discussions about meets are in the General Forum. Let me know what you at Mazda NA think as well, id be happy to pass any word onto the group of North Americans who are enjoying your cars.
Thanks - Kurt

P.S. If it works out I work in sports television and am already interested in filming this event for broadcast as well...just an added tidbit.
 
I'am up for the meeting. Oh well, I do live in Dallas, hehehe. But seriously, I think this is possible. Done it plenty of times for the Prowler Club. It just happens that everyone chooses Dallas as the best meeting point between the west and the east. Plus tell you the truth hotels can be cheap.

Hope to see all! :p
 
Count me in for this!
Sounds very cool.
It would be AWSOME if we could get some of the after market vendors for our cars to show off thier products. :D
 
I am with you guys on this. Let me know what I can do to help, plus I will e-mail Mazda tonight.
 
Hello Guys and Gals...I'm very excited about the idea of a national meet for the MP3 and P5. MazdaMP3.com and Protege5.com represent not just an online community but also a sort of Family...linked by a love for the MP3 and P5. I greatly appreciate everyone pitching in and e-mailing Mazda NA. I believe it is vital everyone help in getting this event to happen. Some of you have already posted great ideas...such as:
Also I realized if we do a large meet we'll have to have some sort of paper to put in the Back window of our car.... something that has mazdamp3.com on it then out names below it "KURTMP3"...I only know everyone on here by their posting names!

I would like to thank KurtMP3 for mentioning the site in his e-mail to Mazda NA :D

and….

I think some one should contact Mazda and see if we can do a plant visit as aour meet or Mazda NA Headquarters meet. I know other car companies have done this and the car companies love it and give free things away.

Check out what the Miata peeps are up to

The nationwide club she is involved in goes all over the U.S. They went to Dallas for a week long meet in 1999 and Mazda got involved in it. They went to Texas Motor Speedway one day and were allowed to take a few laps and they also did an auto cross out there. She got pics of her on the track and everything. I think this is a good idea, and if enough people are involved, say around 100, Mazda will do the same for us maybe. Maybe if we all email Mazda NA about this they'll be into it.

We need to organize the details (location, city, venue). Remember, this event would be an awesome opportunity for everyone to meet each other from the site and to increase our online family…the more people we have…the more support and resources will be available…and maybe Mazda NA will help us out!
 
Antoine I mention the site to any P5 or MP3 drivers I see, this site is my bible!
As for what youve said, I couldnt have said it better myself...make sure you email Mazda NA with those comments as well
 
That was an awesome letter Kurt. This site is also my bible. I spend so much time on this site that all the grades in my college classes are suffering. Who cares as long as you pass though. I emailed Mazda also and I'm going to email them tomarrow again. So everyone out there, if you haven't emailed them already, do it now. Here is the address. www.mazdausa.com If you aren't already signed up in this site you will have to to email them,(I think). The site keeps track of your mileage and tells you about recalls and thing such as that. It's a good site. So, everyone, sign up on the site and write them a letter. Here's mine.

I recently bought the Protege MP3. I can't say in words how much I love this car. I am a member of several internet MP3 clubs, one I'd like to mention is www.mazdamp3.com . There are hundreds of others that share the same love of this car like myself. Lately we all have been discussing a North America Protege MP3 and Protege5 get together. Many, many people are interested and more are becomming interested everyday. We were curious if Mazda North America would like to get involved in this by suggesting a few meeting places that we could choose from. I know mazda is involved in clubs like these because I have an Aunt that is a complete Miata freak. She has owned several since thier release. She has shown me pictures of her Miata get togethers in Dallas(1998), and several others in the past years. She is the reason I bought the MP3. Her enthusiasm and also the enthusiasm of others with the same car made me want a limited car such as the MP3. I was also hoping there would be a following for the MP3, and there is a huge one. I am looking forward to your reply, and if you have time, check out the MP3 web site. Others include www.protegeclub.com , www.mp5online.com , and the most important, best MP3 site, www.mazdamp3.com . Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Ben Cordle

Your's doesn't have to be this long but you get the idea. Hell, if you want just cut and paste it,...just do it.
 
well guys dallas charlotte atlanta shoot i really dont care where just as long as it will happen hope we can do it i am emailing them tomorrow
 
Well said Ben...geez I just emailed them through the site through customer relations or something, hope that was the right way :)
 
Yes Kurt, my last name starts with a "B" also. I know that you, me, and TightMP3 have been in contact with Mazda. If the three of us want to help organize it, I would be willing to help out. Keep in touch - I check the board a few times each day.
 
Awesome idea. I am in for sure as long as it isnt REALLY REALLY far away. Toronto here.
 
Okay everyone, cross your fingers! I should be recieving a call from someone in Mazda NA about the National MP3/P5 meet. I will let you guys know whats happens ASAP!!! :D
 
I called their customer service number...got through to a real person and told the kind lady I was the webmaster of MazdaMP3.com and Protege5.com and also mentioned MazdaMP3.com was the largest and coolest MP3 site on the net! I basically spoke of all the things we posted in the thread (miata meets etc) and how many MP3 and P5 owners would love to have a national meet...and it would be wonderful if Mazda NA got involved.

She took my contact info and told me my message would be forwarded to the proper person in the company and someone would contact me. What we need is numbers and support…aren’t there some 15000 p5 owners out there and another1500 MP3’ers. Lets get it together people…..you have strong rx7 and miata clubs with Mazda’s support…let’s make it happen for the MP3 and P5’ers…

We could really use Mazda’s help…think if they just put the word out on a press release or something…through the promotions department…it would be HUGE! This would work to benefit everyone! MazdaMP3.com and Protege5.com is to play a vital role in all this…we represent a sort of family here and lets make this family grow…not just in numbers but in quality….resources…etc.

We need to be motivated and show support or this won’t happen…tell everyone…your dealers, other owners, other forums, websites..everyone

Now who’s with me… :D
 
Well done man! Im with you Ive already hit up a few other forums to get people into this thread! Im here to help in any way if you need it man
