codewize Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Exatcly. Thanks for understanding. I would hate to have a car meet and never get to look at the cars. No we're not afraid of rain but seriously, whats the point? I was just leaving my house, I logged on to get the address and directions and bam, its postponed, good thing I checked in.... See you all next time... Hey if the sky opens up, it won't be fun, we will do this when the weather is nice... hey its about the cars right?

Marika Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Next Saturday is the Cadillac meet at Brogen Cadillac dealership in Totowa, New Jersey. If anyone is interested call me. And by the way, everyone should share phone numbers with each other when we plan these events. Here's my cellphone number 201-747-4219 and my SkypeIN number 201-399-2257. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codewize Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hmm that sounds like a great time. I would like to throw out the idea that we try to plan a meeting time, hook up in the parking lot or some other good parking area, arrive as a group if you will and enjoy the day. Comments? Suggestions?

I can be at the Brogen show on Saturday and be at Hooters on Sunday too. My weekend is free. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars.

codewize Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I understand. I was just thinking if we did some organization we could get together afterwords for some lunch or something. Have a sub-meet That way we can incorporate the best of both worlds AND for the people traveling will get a dual purpose trip out of it. The idea of the Brogen show is to just show up.

WarrenJ Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I was just leaving my house, I logged on to get the address and directions and bam, its postponed, good thing I checked in.... See you all next time... Hey if the sky opens up, it won't be fun, we will do this when the weather is nice... hey its about the cars right? Mike What a surprise! I'm glad I checked as well. I guess I'm missing something here; I thought Hooters was *INDOORS.* I wouldn't expect isolated showers to preclude a trip or two to the parking lot. I'd enjoy the Saturday thing, but the only way I can take that day off is to shoot myself and call in dead. Regards, Warren P.S. Not sure posting private phone numbers in a public place like this is a good idea. There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows the times of the show. Just show up if you want to. I'll be at the Cadillac show in Totowa early because I photograph the cars as they roll in. If others want to attend and meet up at a certain time, that's cool also. So decide between yourselves what time you want to meet and come on in and have a good time. There's free food and beverages too. If anyone does show up on Saturday in Totowa, give my cellphone a call at 201-747-4219 so we can hook up. It gets pretty crowded at the meet so it could be hard to find a face in the crowd. P.S. I'm still on for Sunday as well, Hooters in Paramus.

Not sure posting private phone numbers in a public place like this is a good idea. Send a private message instead, if you want to share your number. The reasoning behind Hooters is even though it's indoors, everyone hangs out in the parking lot for about an hour while looking at each others cars and talking before we go inside to eat and watch big screen TV. If it's raining, we can't really hang out in the parking lot. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars.

Marika Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 The turnout today was thin; this was it: When I got home I found that the storm had knocked out our Internet and cable. We just got it back. I am so sorry you ended up there by yourself with all those pretty girls around you....LOL!! All kidding aside, I for one was pissed off that the meet was canceled because of 2 or 3 people. I assure you next time, it's not going to be outright canceled because of a little rain. Those who don't want to show up, just don't show up. The rest will be there. But you look like you had a good time anyway. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you in person. Next time I hope.

Cadillac Jim Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Well, actually, I had never been to a Hooters before. i found it to be a lot like Outback in atmosphere, but a day joint, without the prices, and with pretty girls in Hooters costumes. I had no problem finding Hooters girls that were game to take the picture and pose. I had fish & chips, and it was great. The fish is Haddock, I believe, not some generic commercial whitefish, and was perfectly cooked. I didn't come by the house to check email or the forum when I left for Paramus, so I didn't see anything past Saturday night's posts. The drive was interesting, with "showers" turning into major thunderstorms with spectacular lightning, some of it less than a mile away. Traffic was slow, sometimes stopped for awhile. I knew I was in trouble when I finally turned into the Hooters parking lot about 2:00 PM and didn't see any other Cadillacs there. The drive home was better for weather but not for traffic. I got home about 4:30 PM. I got 21 mpg for the trip. It was sprinkling a little most of the time I was there. If everyone had come, it would have been primarily an inside meeting, although I would have taken a couple of pictures of the cars and let everyone listen to my Borlas in person. I can't be there on the 4th. I'm tied up on that day in South Jersey from mid-afternoon on. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Jim, In recognition of the fact that you traveled the longest distance to this meet, caddyinfo.com (Bruce will confirm this) would like to award you with a prize. You have your choice of either a caddyinfo Bear, I think there are two styles available, or a 1:18 model of a 1947 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. Let us know what prize you would like to receive.

Bruce Nunnally Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yes, I would like for us to mark events or get togethers by awarding Most miles travelled and similar accomplishments. Certainly Jim97 won the prize in this case. We have the choice of a 1947 Series 62 scale model, a I love my Cadillac bear, or an Escalade bear. Please let me know which you prefer and address by PM Jim and I can ship next week.
