Wink THANKS TO ALL WHO MADE PARK AVE MEET A SUCCESS!

On behalf of myself and my entire hard working staff, I would like to thank everyone who turned out today for our meet. The support was unbelievable! We had 90 cars registered, and quiet a few more who did not. The cars looked great and the people were even better. A special thanks to Snook for providing us this forum and the opportunity to meet and help so many great people. We are already starting to make plans for a fall event because it was such fun. Thanks again to each and every one of you- I hope to see you all again soon.

First of all, I believe we are the ones that should be saying "Thank You" to you and your hard working staff. The meet was a huge success. This will be the beginning of a great tradition.
BTW, there were a lot of great looking rides and all the people were friendly to talk to. I can't wait for the Fall meet from you guys.
Once again, thank you for a great meet!

I own a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo. I went with my friend (Phatty 3.2 TL) to the Acura meet today so he wouldn't have to drive out there 45 minutes and walk around alone. I could not believe the turn out that you guys had there today. It was amazing. The cars were mad nice and everything was great. I'm trying to start a group for owners of my model type Monte Carlo and I can only hope I can someday have some kind of turnout as you guys did today... Thanks for the great time. I enjoyed looking at all the phat TLs and CLs - and the Beamers!!! Nice job!

Hi! Just wanted to give a special thanks to Wayne, Jens, and the rest of the Park Ave Acura staff for making the First Annual CL-TL Meet a stellar success!! These are the kind of things that make me so proud to own a TL. It's actually through this site that I found Park Ave Acura, and until I started going to them, I wasn't planning on buying another Acura. I've been to other Acura dealers, and there service is no where even close to Park Ave's. That alone makes them incredible. On top of all that, organizing a meet for us, giving us TONS of free stuff, a free breakfast, and a free BBQ for lunch is simply something of which none of us can even dream. Once again, thanks to the entire staff at Park Ave Acura. We should all spread the word about Park Avenue Acura, and perhaps even see if we can get some further recognition perhaps by Honda for their outstanding service. I know they've already won the "Precision Team Distinction Award," but I doubt any of their fellow recipients come even close to their top notch level of service.

Noam

Cool

Thanks Park Ave for hosting this first CL TL Meet. You guys really have great CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Great cars/food/free goodies... Guess I have to buy my springs now since I didn't win the raffle. No biggie! The cd holder is great! Better than the pullout holder that only holds 3 cd's. Time for me to spend some $$$...

Check out some pics I took at the meet...

You know what I HATE about Park Ave Acura?

I hate that they are 170 miles from my house!

Even though I got there late, I was glad I went. It was obvious by talking to those still there that Wayne and his crew did a GREAT job. Can't wait for the fall. Good to see familiar faces from the last NJ meet, and to finally meet Mr Hyde!

Thanks Again, Wayne.....

Whay can't all dealers be like PAA???

Thanks Wayne and the entire staff at Park Ave. It was my first meet too, and it surely was a great experience seeing all those mods and putting faces to names on the forum. Looking forward to the fall meet. Congrats to the raffle winners!

I must say Wayne, Parke Ave Acura and all its employees are simply the best!!!!! Dont thank us, we should thank you. This was by far the BEST forum meets I have ever been to in my life(over 90 cars showed), and it was great meeting everyone.

Another meet in the fall??? Man I cant wait. Its gonna be hard to top this one, but for some reason, I dont think they'll have much trouble doing it. Thanx Again

As everyone here already said... thanks to Wayne, Jens, and the Park Acura staff for this. It was a lot of fun, a beautiful day, and some sweet, sweet rides. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to meet everyone, but I did meet a decent amount and it was great to put a face to the name and to be able to talk to you guys / gals. It looks like I was the only 1st Gen CL there, but that's OK, everyone actually seemed to like my car!! I'd love to do this again, and I'll begin counting down the days to the fall meet now!!

Thanks Wayneg and all at Park Ave Acura! For the fall meet I promise not to party too hard the night before and miss the raffles and at least half the cars before I show up. Still, it was great seeing the cars, getting ideas and talking to everyone. Getting the rock chip on my windshield while driving to the meet was worth it (I guess...)
