Whoa Whoa Whoa....Gentlemen...I thought we were gonna put some organization to this?
It appears we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves already...
I think we need to get together after the 4th and sit down and decide the monthly meet schedule. We're already starting to put down meets without any organization to the original goal. It's been mine and nyckid's experience in the past the lack of an organized group and random meets is what lead to the fall of good G meets.
I vote "NO" on the cruise for the 12th...the Z meet was just that a Z meet and G's are welcome. There's no need to bogard into an already set monthly meet to help our agenda.

ahaha, i'm a complete smart-*** btw 
mike checkout my youtube channel, same username
it'll make you happy
and based upon your advice, i just picked up a panavise - that thing feels so solid!! (the videos taken were with duct tape however haha)
lighten up ryan! we need to get some sort of meet together where we can physically plan stuff as opposed to arguing over forum posts. nothing is set in stone, the cruise is just an idea to get together and hash some things out. i feel like it's hard to have a constructive discussion over a forum because people may post once a day and things get lost and buried. we need just some sort of meet soon where we can really bounce ideas off each other and look at a calendar together and figure it all out

So i've noticed 
j/k
Great vids! That GT-R had nothing on you. Which 3 series was that ahead of you? He/she just seemed to go away after a while.
Cool on the panavise. Did it come with the extension? It's not much, but if you plan on mounting it to the underside of the sunroof, it helps quite a bit. If it didn't come with one, just contact them and they should mail one out to you (at least they did to me).

First off I'm not mad nor arguing. I apologize if it came out that way. I'm merely suggesting that we not get ahead of ourselves. B/c in the past the excitement led us to failure. That being said I was supposed to PM the ppl on the list or "committee" if you will but got busy handling orders. I will be sure to set up a meeting for us after the 4th of July weekend. This way we can have more face to face constructive discussion as you said.

I think the cruise is a good idea. I never viewed it as the "1st G event" I just view it as a chance to go out driving with some fellow G guys. I dont think this should be are 1st event but just a fun outing. I think before we have are 1st "real" event/meet then we need to meet with everyone on the list, then go from there. I just want to get some tan and go out driving.

Hear Hear! I seocnd that motion!!! We'll get to that soon enough. I was thinking of doing this on my own anyway, would be great to get a group of us there. I thought Calvin was organizing a track day at HRP in Baytown? Where's he been in all of this? Revok!!!
Calvin is lost in the Matrix....he's too busy which is understandable
Oh yeah...and i'm working on that PM guys bear with me it will go out today!!!

I agree that we shouldn't worry about the money factor just yet. As we should concentrate all efforts to having consistent meets with regular attendees. Even if it's a small group I've always been a believer of quality over quantity. Just so my statement is not misconstrued let me explain what i mean: gathering a huge group is our ultimate goal but i don't think it should be the center of goal of the group. (If any of that made any sense)
Once we have our group of "usual suspects" I think then we should consider first gathering sponsorship from local business i.e. dealerships. For example Sterling McCall Nissan has hosted a few events for the Z club of Houston. Personally, I would love to see our group get up there in that manner but baby steps gentlemen baby steps....
