Whats the deal with DFW F-body meets?
Alright guys (and girls) this has been plaquing me for awhile now. Why is it that we as F-body members can never host a large, consistent, weekly meet? Most of my frustration is derived from watching and participating in car meets with my buddies over at DFWstangs. Every weds and friday there is generally enough cars to hang out and have a good time without getting bored in a hour. So what is it that is different with F-body members? Me personally I think there are way to many people trying to start meets at several different locations on the same night. For example someone may post lets meet in Plano Tues @ 7pm, but only to be followed by 3 other post with meets in the same night @ three completely seperate locations. Leaving guys like me making road trips the whole night only to find two or three cars meeting.
The solution:
Suggestions for two nights a week where everyone can meet, but being fair as far as the drive there. I know it sucks driving 45 mins home just to attend a meet. Remember we are trying to get mainly F-bodys to attend, but all is welcome. My opinions:
Friday or Sat somewhere:
Tues:
Hooters in Plano - Plano Pkwy and N 75. 7pm - till atleast 10pm. Great Food!
Bone Daddys - Richardson - Spring Valley and S 75. (same time)
Thurs:
Kellers Burgers - Northwest Hwy and Abrams - 7pm - I think this place has some of the best burgers in Dallas.
Somewhere in Addision - not sure where since Dukes parking lot has alot of parking restriction.
Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Thurs at Kellers sounds good to me. Also I like being able to help keep that place in business, it's been around for ages. My grandmother use to go there and still does when she visits town.

earlier this year they were settin up a big cruise to austin. somethin like that would be cool too.

To be honest, and not sarcastic, I dont think that many people care. I dont, and most people I know dont. This is also a really busy time of year for people and work. So they have their minds on stuff aside from cars.

I wouldn't mind hitting up the meets if I knew people with F Bodies, but since I don't really have many buddies with F Bods it's kinda hard for me to just head up there on my own. I'll feel like a loser lol

ehh, I have a few places to hunt in the Jack and Wise county areas. My grandmother owns land up in Arkansas that I would love to scout and hunt one day if she'll ever tell me where exactly it is (its been 10+ years since I've been there)

Alot of people have suggested Sat? Where? Also how about a rolling meet? Each week a different spot. Keeping the ricers always guess.

Fri and sat meets fail because people go out and do stuff with non car friends/gf's/significant others. Or actually go to the track instead of just bs'ning about what a car might run and actually go run it.
