Default GTG at OC Motor Trend Auto Show

How is this for a chance to have a SoCal GTG. How about the OC Auto Show on Sat Oct 6th or Sun Oct 7th?

We could meet somewhere close by and all go in and park together. Might be fun to see all the new cars and accessories. What do you all think?

I might be game. We were planning on visiting Palm Spring around that time. The OC is not much further.

I was planning on going to the OC show during the week with my wife, but I'm game for an additional showing just to meet up with some forum members.

I will be out of town during the week, so it has to be Sat or Sun for me. Let's set a date and hopefully we can get some additional people. It would be nice to see a bunch of Crossfires in the same place. Driving the SoCal freeways in my SRT6 for over a year and a half and have yet to see another one on the road.


It would be nice if we made it a point to honk the horn, flash the lights and give a wave and shout out when you see a "sibling".

Seriously, you've never seen another Crossfire on the road in a year and a half? I see at least one a week - saw a red coupe in Anaheim Hills just yesterday as a matter of fact.

I think what SRT SIX was referring to is he has not seen another SRT6 on the road. I have had mine about 6 months and have yet to see another.

Well, you need to come to South Orange County a bit more often then because I must see an SRT6 at least once every, oh, let's see...I've had my Crossfire since July 18th and have seen 2 SRT6s since then, so once every month or so!!

The last one I saw was a Graphite Metallic Coupe heading south on the 241 Toll Road. I was behind him in my Graphite Metallic PT Turbo (Stage 1 equipped) and thought it would have made a good picture!

I'll meet up for the show on Sat or Sun. Just let me know the day, time and place as I'll be coming from VTA County.

BTW - I saw a SSB SRT-6 today at Las Virgins Road and Mulholland Hwy.

This really makes me sad. In what many feel is the car capital of the USA we can't muster up more than 4 people for a GTG. Now that I think about it, SoCal is the car capital loaded with really nice passionless Camry's, Accords and Prius.

I envy you all back east. Someone suggests a GTG and 20-30 people respond. If it is any distance, I often read things like "...it just gives me that much more time driving my car ..."

Signed,
Lonely in the wild, wild "wussed".

Come on So-Cal people let do this! I will drive from Phoenix to see another SRT6 and the OC car show is not too bad either. I just looked at the show concept car listing and the Jeep Hurricane will be there. Not a sports car but a really interesting twin Hemi engined concept Jeep that I worked on a few years ago at the concept car builder. http://www.rockcrawler.com/reviews/j...2005/index.asp

Just a suggestion but how about we meet up noonish Saturday for lunch maybe at Hooters near Katella and the 57. Then head over to the show. How about it??

I say if you're making the effort to actually plan out a schedule, then rather than potentially bicker back and forth about the when's and where's I say we just meet you for lunch at Hooter's and drive to the convention center together. See you there!
