Ok looks like I'm out for November too. I know I'm busy on the 18th which is normally the weekend of the meets. And the 25th I have a day time engagement not sure how the night will be.
BTW wish me luck I'm working on some negotiations with Saturn to trade in my cavy for one of these:
Not sure if it will actually happen, but if it does it is just too sexy to pass up.
good luck with the sk bryan. so whats going on with this meet?

^^^^ how about hittin me up for my money back or my parts
as said before this was before the message in my J-body inbox. This was after my wife sent you an email on yahoo. I got on J-body and noticed you were on then I started whoring.
OK I know that most of you will laugh at this but here is why I will not own a Sky:
1) GM is @!#$ retarded and feels that adding an in-dash navigation unit is pointless when you can pay for on-star navigation. This is my big reason.
2) Over $30K for a 4 cyl car that only runs high 13's? For this price I could go get an EVO or STi that will handle turns just as well and walk me from any speed. And now I read articles that they might be looking into replaceing the 2.0 VVT Turbo with a V6? God I hope this is fake news because that is just retarded. Leave it to an american company to just try and shoe horn the largest motor possible into a car and not worry about fuel economy, weight distribution, or efficiency.
3) The car is only available through custom order. Unless if somebody else custom orders it then decides they don't want it will you be able to purchase one right then and there. Which also means they don't have any available for a test drive so how am I to know if I am going to like this car that would cost me nearly $500 a month for the next 7 years. And to make it better they are saying it is about 6 months before the car even gets here after placing my order.
4) Finally there are no promotions on this car what so ever. Not even a promotional interest rate. You would think that if you have a car that is trying to compete against other roadsters you would want some kind of incentive for a person to buy your car, especially with it being new on the market, and them not being able to test drive it. The only thing I am seeing is that people are ordering the base model and when it gets in, they cancel the order because either they went and bought a different car or because they weren't as impressed by it when it showed up.
Don't get me wrong it is a sharp looking car, and I would have loved to stay in the ECOTEC/GM family but where are their heads when they design these things? I guess back to saving up for a BMW again.

Im assuming your talking about a sky redline?
But that is pretty weird that you have to order them without driving. That doesnt make much sense ... ide say for the bimmer Festa. The ladies will love you
.
Id say get an ecotec saab. the new aero models are awesome.
Wow you guys still doing meets huh? I remember going to those in 2004. Sold my cavalier finally and got a nice Dodge Caliber.

i jsut have a question for you, where exactly is the New Jersey meet at? and do you have times? i just recently got intrested in like going to shows, and i just want to see what other jbodys are around, and would it be worth to coming from PA? lol
Peej , rich , mandy ( if you still read here? ) jessica, jeffie ...
you all set for making it or not?
i read DJ, but i don't post, or associate anymore. it just causes too many problems, as we've all seen. i did have fun with you guys, and still talk to most of you on the side anyway. my cars been making me mad anyway, i've pretty much given up on modding it, and just decided that i'm lucky i only pay 200 a month for the piece. it was fun while it lasted i guess. talk to you guys whenever =]
<33
Isn't the 25th Thanksgiving weekend? I think a lot of people might be busy then. I, on the other hand, can prolly make it. Ha.
slowly but surely...
yeah, i doubt im going to make that. i got the jetta home so time for a 8v rebuild for stuff and giggles

if my parts come in by the time the meet rolls around i'll swing out. I'm looking at about 2 more weeks downtime at the least. Patriot takes a long time to ship.
thinking about doing some other stuff to the car in the meantime and hopefully get some more runs in before the end of the year, but it's coming down to the wire
frankly tho, I think the Js are dead
everyone's either lost interest, sold their car, or have fought with other members (myself included).
The comradery is gone.
I guess that's inevitable when you have a group of people together who all have different goals.
wrong outlook to take PJ we aren't dead its November remember how few members show up this time of year.
Things change but thats to be expected The Jersey J's aren't cars they are people. The meets are a gathering of friends not cars, we just built friendships because of the cars.
Just wait for warmer weather to come around again we will have those huge meets again its inevitable. We just have to make it through the downtime of the off season. We've done it before we'll do it again.
