Official Bi-Weekly Downtown Dallas Meet/Cruise Thread
Hello all,
I am starting a new bi-weekly meet and cruise. This meet/cruise will take place every other Monday starting June 4th in Downtown Dallas in an open parking lot between 24 Hour Fitness and the Trammel Crow Building (information below).
This meet is for all makes and all models. The idea was to create a meet in a neutral location for all makes/models to replace the Ricekiller meet that has been moved to Frisco and has become "invite only".
When: Every other Monday beginning June 4th. 8p Meet, 10p Cruise.
Where: "Terra Park Lot". This lot is between the 24 Hour Fitness Center and the Trammel Crow Building. 2001 Ross Avenue. (note: the entrance on Harwood St. is lower car friendly)
Who: Car Enthusiasts of all makes/models.
Caution: high quality photos (sarcasm...)
if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Videos from the first two meets:

NEXT MEET:
July 16th

It's kind of a drive for me too (20 miles) but we decided it was the "ideal" location since its central to so many surrounding suburbs. Where are you from?

But I'd like to have more of a Z turnout than anything. Any way you northern guys can round up and come out?
Or are there any Z guys closer that can make it?

The real deal is that most guys that frequent the forum are guys that can't really do a 10pm cruise because of early work the next day. Hell I can't even do an 8pm meet because of 2am work every day.

Alot of Z guys are in Plano, Frisco, McKinney, etc. Same with the G35 guys. Most of them don't like to drive more than 5 miles for a meet.

Thanks for the heads up on the Northern Dallas community.

it's the only way to do it. Thanks for your "would have" support lol
2am work? Geez. I considered the 9-5 guys. The meet is the "main attraction", the cruise is just extra. Plano and McKinney aren't terribly far, hopefully we can get some of them to come out.

Most of the guys that frequent the DFW Lounge thread are getting into track days more than just meet and greets. You should come out to a track day.

I would like to meet with you guys...but I have 2 issues with this.....
For one, it's in Dallas and I hate driving downtown. It is the Arm pit of the DFW area ! So just as Allstar said, we have had meets before but more around Grapevine or Plano/Richardson off of 190 & Coit.
And Secondly, it is on a Monday evening which is almost impossible for me to get away on a week night since I am a bit older than most of you guys and have a family with Kiddo to tend to. So I will have to just look at your "high quality" photos from the meets. (sarcasm
)
Please post pics as this goes on.

Isn't Richardson just up 75 from downtown (I can't remember)? Like I said, if someone has access to a nice garage or lot, I'm okay with relocating. If I knew of a place where we could have a free meet and all the DFW Z guys could show up, I could get everyone else to travel. For me and the others that started this, we all concluded downtown because of the big free lot and it being a "central" spot to areas like Garland, Mesquite, Plano, etc. Even for us, it's a 20 mile hike.
