Anyone up for Sunday May 6? I know JayVee has a baby due soon and he may not be able to make a meet for awhile. I'm really tied up and that is my only day available in the near future. We should make it later in the afternoon so Dingo and others can make it... Plus those recovering from cinco de mayo can make it too.

Yeah man, my friend is getting married on May 5th so I'm sure it will get crazy. I definitely don't want to do anything early on Sun.

Gabe at TC TOYZ, just said the same thing while chit chattin at the shop yesterday, he can't believe how smooth it rides. I am sure you will be impressed as well. U r more than welcomed

I don't really know St Pete/Tampa area, otherwise I'd throw out ideas for locations.

The Pier? Fort De Soto? Skyway? I would even do Gandy again

I only know spots in St. Pete since I don't make it up to Tampa too often.

Doesn't seem like a meet is going to happen on Sunday. I should be fairly free after the next couple weekends for a meet, so whatever you guys suggest I'm game.

I'd be down for a May/June meet. I will definitely make an effort to attend... we need a date and place. Maybe Al Lopez park again? Maybe even meet the Orlando gang somewhere half-way like in Lakeland or something.

Just keeping the idea alive

I would be up for another meet before I move back to Virginia. I honestly can't wait to get the eff out of Florida. Love bugs, this humidity and no twisty roads! blah!

Here's a pic from my Deals Gap trip last week.

Totally with you Dingo. Florida is nice to visit for vacation, but it's not a blast to live in.

That's why I want to go to California for college. Stanford C/O 2018

Just sold my TL yesterday, but if I'm free I would come hang out.

I'm looking for an IS300 now. If you know of someone selling one in good condition please PM me. Thanks.

What??? I didn't even know you were wanting to sell your car. I was looking at the IS300, but I ultimately chose the TL over it and I don't regret my choice at all.

The IS250/350 are a different story though. I love the look and interior of those.

I'm moving back to northern Virginia for school and driving manual transmission in that traffic every day gets old. Fast. I put over 45k miles on the car in 15 months and sold it for what I had in to it. I've always liked the is300 and the toyota auto trans is light years more reliable than any Honda transmission that has been put in a TL before 2009. Maybe still today. Anyway I'm happy but finding the right car is taking longer than I had anticipated.

I'd agree on the transmission part, but have you driven an IS300?

I've always liked the looks of the IS line, but from a previous IS300 MT owner, its a very sloppy feeling car. Luckily it was my girls car and I rarely had to drive it.

Anyways, good luck on the search!

There is a car meet at USF every other Friday. Next one is in two days on the 27th. I try to make it to every one. Anyone want to join me? There are usually a few other TL's in attendance. It's a pretty good size meet.

What's up guys? Obviously I sold the TL and moved away, but have a drink for me at the next meet!

I ended up buying an STi instead of an IS300 (the rust king!) lol

Hope you guys are all doing well. ciao!
