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 Soopa 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.

Thank YOU Wayne for providing your facility for this wonderful event.
I look forward to the next MEET.

I only wish Lehigh Valley Acura was as supportive to it’s customers as you guys are.
85 miles is just a bit too far for me to travel for scheduled service.
That is, unless you give me that silver NSX as a loaner car.

Thanks Wayne and Park Ave Acura for making my stay in New Jersey such a wonderful weekend! I really appreciate all the work that was done to sponsor this great event and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I knew I didn't want to miss this First Annual [historic] meet.

Shortly I'll be making my drive back to Kansas thinking about this whole event. Unfortunately unless Park Ave moves about 1000 miles west, I probably won't make it again this Fall (or ever). In any case, this trip was definitely worthwhile and I will never forget it.

Thanks again everyone.

Wayne and Park Ave are outstanding in promoting Acura and providing service to their customers. I applaude the 1st annual event and their efforts in making it a success.
It was a pleasure to meet some of the faces behind the names ( a big what up to Poobah, GTO2050, Telsp21(steve), Ron from StreetEffectz, Mercury, ShawnS, DeeTLs(spelling??), and all the other road warriors that I ran into.) Jeez I sound like like I'm accepting a friggin MTV award.

anyhow, I'm looking forward to the next meet.

Hat's off to park ave!

I'd just like to add my expression of gratitude to Wayne and Park Avenue Acura for being such great hosts and working hard to get the whole gathering so well organized.

As usual, a meeting of Acura owners, whether TL, CL, or the Type-S's of either, was a really good time and very informative. It was great to see some of the familiar people like Eclipse23, ShawnS, gto2050, tel1sps, Mercury, among others.

Also, it wwas a pleasure to meet some new folks like Ken Steele (hands down the WINNER of the "Furthest Drive" competition), Ron from StreetEffectz (thanks for the advice on the sub box -- I'll be callin' ya), Soopa (the MasterMind behind the Board -- I still have to send you some Buck$$) and others as well.

Wayne: I am already looking forward to the FALL MEET, but PLEASE DON'T make it any time between and including October 20-28th -- I'll be in Florida and do NOT want to miss out!!

Thanks again to everyone in the Acura Family and let's keep the largest (probably) Acura group going strong!

Thank YOU, Wayne. What a great dealership and crew. Not only you and Jens, but your wife, Liz, and that service guy nut Tom!

I almost can't wait for my next service. Picked up my new keys and new TL-S remotes and your parts guy programmed for me. Service up and beyond the call of duty.

It was good to see the familiar faces and meet some new ones. Finally met Soopa, Al Uminum, kensteele, Mercury, chodthewacko, and others.

The old familiar ones were there, tel1sp, Shawn S, eclipse23 (never did see eclipse32), Acuraman and others. What a great deal.

I'll post my pix tonight. Hadda buy some new stuff since my Smart Media card reader was stolen in my briefcase. Who says we have to wait until fall for a meet? Why not a midsummer meet?

Thanks Wayne... excellent show. Very well organized... wish I got there earlier!

The nametags went well... without them I would have no recollection of who I met. lol

It was great meeting everyone... its funny puttin a face with a name... their rarely who you picture.

Most impressive parts of the meet was the StreetEffectz crew of course.. but also Shawns car which looks like it has never been driven... and Ken's briefcase blew my mind away. True road warrior

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, especially Soopa and Ron, but I did meet a lot of others 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!!

Yeah, I got there around 10:30am and left around 1:45pm. My car was up near the back of the lot, but I was walking around all day. Last I had heard, you were on your way, but I had to leave around 2pm, so I thought I missed ya. Then I found out you were there when I was there . Hopefully I'll see ya at the next meet....
