Saw this last year.....About two miles of WRXs, Neons, and tons of sweet rides....I was going down to Oly and realized the Toy Run was going on once I saw a hundred cars...This year, I'll be in the line as well....(ughdance)

I can Manage to squeek out of work early for something like this, or at least temporarily forget I work Saturdays.

You going to commit on this Lance?
Anyone else?

Well I guess this site doesn't like the posting for the 1st 2 but they are the Mazda 3 forum site and the Mazda 6 club site. Mmmmmmm free speech ?

Well a bit off topic- I am going to wait 2 years to get a MSP3 (another kid coming plus by that time there might be something more badass) but Rick just called me and said he has another Black GT up at port if you know a anybody else who is looking.

 

[kettlman]

oh man i might be moving into my new house that weekend, well atleast that is what I was told on Monday by the builder. If not I will def. be down for this since its a good cause and I'll prob just make a weekend trip out of it and go party in seattle with some friends.

Travis if i can make it then that def means you can to =P

 

[maestro]

This has got to be a great cause. doubt i'll be able to get out during a weekend though.
Just an observation. Is the NW really that bad at getting together?
I see VW, mitsu, Subie clubs having regular get togethers with a decent turnout. Hell I even see miata clubs get better turnouts than what I have seen here, this is a generalization. I have watched these forums for some time before getting bored enough to join and post.
I am an hour from Portland and i have seen minimal to nadda for Mazda enthusiast gatherings.

my bad, I'm ranting on a good thread. Hope this run gets HUGE.

Well no hit on you but it takes people to make it to the events to make them successful .I do agree with you though. We have something getting started on another site and when it's up and going I'll try to post it.

This is a good cause so hope we all can do it

Oh' I'm in on this. Something positive for kids and the chance to roll along with how many other cars?
Kinda like my older days of street racing, 100+ cars rolling off to where ever.
I think Lance wants to see the tail lights on the Speed 3 too, perfect opportunity. (enguard)

hahaha yea, man i think i'll be right next to him seeing the tail lights on the speed 3. When are u getting it by the way? Is this caravan for all cars too or is this solely a mazda thing?

Add. www.*********** , www.**************** , www.mpvclub.com , www.**************** to the list.

Sensorship FTL. I guess they don't like the competition anymore.

Honestly antoine (or whoever is responcible for this.), this is getting alittle rediculous.

 

[ProtoType5]

Considering this event is for charity and has absolutely no competitive nature towards this site, I wouldn't think it should be an issue...Not like we're saying go to these other Mazda sites cause they are cooler....So who's in for meeting around Seattle, where is everyone meeting??? etc.. etc...

 

[kettlman]

is there anyother forums that i don't know about posted on???

[Poseur]

I'm really hoping to make it to this. I should have my car back by thanksgiving, and in conjunction with my newfound full-weekend freedom, will be celebrating it's return with whatever excuses for roadtrips I can comeup with.

And yes, the NW forum really doesnt see tons of meet-action. this has bugged me a good bit, but I don't know what can be done. We'll have some meets with good turnouts sporadically, and then nothing. Hell, I remember the first mukleteo meet I went to nearly 3yrs ago, way before I'd done anything fun to my car. It was such a cool turnout that my it solidified my g/f's need to join the crew and get her own P5. Since then, it seems we had ONE good roll up to canada for mazdafest, a decent alki meet and then it all turned to the domain of other forums. I think partially some of the cool guys hav emoved on to other cars, some have become frustrated with the direction of these forums in general, and ya. *sigh* I miss the good ol' days.

 

[kettlman]
