She gets the the smell of Nitro and Alcohol mixed up with the gas smell.
She won't even go to the drag strip when we run our cars anymore.
What a pooper!
That sucks. Looks like you'll never get to go to a GG meet then because they're the same weekend every year.

We usually go to Seattle for our anniversary and stay there the weekend.
Hit Pike Place and the Crab Pot (YUM).
Next year I'll make plans way in advance for that week. She had her choice this year, next year is mine.

Updated the first post again.

I'll try to keep this list updated as much as possible.
1) sno, Bryan, Portland
2) encore100, John, Vancouver
3) Ruff Z, ______, Clackamas (maybe)
4) overZealous1, Scott, Portland (maybe)
5) garym, Gary, Portland (cancelled)
6) jiggalam, ______, Portland (maybe)
7) SUSPECT03, Jeff, Vancouver



It's, probably, the largest Pacific NW gathering of Nissans. This year will be it's 5th consecutive event and last year they reported 400+ Nissans. People from all over (Oregon, Washington, California, Canada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming) attend the event. All cars from B13 Sentras to R34 Skylines will be in attendance.

UPDATE: I just realized that there are 4+ parking garages at Lloyd Center. To cut down on confusion, I suggest the meeting spot be changed to the Regal Lloyd Center 10 parking lot across NE Multnomah St from Lloyd Center @ 5am. WE LEAVE AT 5:30AM.

The address to the movie theater is:
1510 NE Multnomah Street
Portland, OR 97232

Same here. Driving to Seattle and back in the same day, beginning at 5am is going to make for a long day.

If interest in a convoy doesn't start to pick up, I'm just gonna head up there Saturday afternoon.

Just an FYI, unless you plan on hauling @ss at 100mph, you won't make it before 8:30, at which point the seattle group may have already left for GG. Either meet up earlier, or come up on saturday. I can probably accomodate 1-2 people in my place if you bring a sleeping bag

Yeah... you're probably right. There's not much interested for a convoy anyway....

I don't think you can get into my garage, it has the entrance of doom for bodykits/dropped cars. I still scrape every time I leave and my car's only lowered with h-techs

Not.

Well, at least, not one that I'll be a part of.

I'm going to make the trip up that Saturday afternoon before. If anyone wants to join me, I figure I'll leave around 11 AM -ish...
