Default LA Auto Show Jan 4

NE1 Planning on attending the auto show on 1/4?
Maybe we could do a mini meet and check out the new cars.

I'd be outside checking out Z's..

Check the West Coast forum of Maxima.org. I think they're planning on making a trip to the auto show. I don't think they'd mind having Nissan's flagship around them.

I've been going to the autoshows every year for the past... oh so many years. BUT this year, I'll skip it. I have my dream car in my garage! I don't need to look at any other cars anymore. I might go next year to look at Z's potential competitors tho. Have fun guys! (whoever's going).

I asked this too but I guess I posted in the wrong forum (I think I did Off Topic). Yeah, I want to go! What is a good time and date for people? I'd prefer to go during the week b/c I work in downtown LA but I realize this is not going to be convenient for 99% of the people. So just let me know. My week is looking pretty free. I'd like to meet members face-to-face since I'm so new to the site.

How about Saturday January 4th, 2003 at 10:00 a.m.?

LOCATION
Los Angeles Convention Center
1201 South Figueroa Street
Los Angeles, California 90015

ADMISSION
Adults: $8.00
Children: 12 and under - free when
accompanied by an adult
Seniors: $5.00 on weekdays (Monday - Friday)

Discount Coupons: Available in December at participating Chevron stations and new car dealerships. Valid for $2 off one regular admission. The coupon is not valid on Saturdays & Sundays 12-4 PM (discount is valid all other hours and days).

If we meet at 10:00 a.m., the coupon should be valid and we should get good parking for a line-up. Afterwards, we could do a drive up the 10 and PCH to Gladstones, Roadhouse, Moonshadows, or Charthouse.

I think I can make this unless I head up for the slopes or Las Vegas after New Years. How about you guys?

Okay folks, looks like we have a small turn out. How about if we get some breakfast before the show and meet at the Pantry say at 9:00 a.m. then head over at 10:00 a.m.?

The Original Pantry
877 S Figueroa St
Los Angeles, CA 90017-2507
Phone: (213) 972-9279
Cross Street: 9th Street

If that's too early or if someone has alternative suggestions, please post. However, I wont be checking the forum for most of the day so you can assume I'll be at the Pantry at 9:00 a.m. sharp.

The Pantry is a little too greasy for me, but I'll meet the group there at approx. 9:30-9:45 a.m. and we can go over.

For those who miss us for breakfast, how about we agree on an 'afterparty' meeting spot? Gladstones sounded ok to me, but they have valet only, don't they? =(

I'm not quite sure how we're going to do this - how will we know who we are? Is someone going to be carrying a sign? Should I dangle my Nissan keychain? Or pin a red carnation to my lapel....

Well, this is going to sound like a personals ad, but I'm petite, Asian, long hair. I should be w/my husband (if he can wake up) and am supposed to meet my brother at the Pantry too.

Well, we had a nice little get together. The auto show was very cool. Iris and Peter have pics I hope will be posted. Roberto, we waited until 10:15 a.m. at the Pantry and headed over. Hope we didn't miss you.

There were several Zs in the Nissan area including the Nismo S-Tune, an Axis Z, a couple regular Zs and a People's Choice Car of the Year Z that was unveiled. The Greedy Z was also on site in the after market section.

After the unveiling of the car of the year, Peter and I actually were able to make comments on video for Nissan internal about what we liked about the Z.

Iris learned how to open her trunk with her fob, I learned how to open my trunk without the fob and Peter learned that the Axis Z could hold 295 wheels.

Next meeting, we'll have to give at least a week or two notice and do a large So. Cal. get-together.

Sorry I flaked out ... I woke up sick as hell this morning. I had a cold last night and it just got worse.

I'm definitely looking forward to any other upcoming meets.
