Tidewater Area Thread

[OCD]

In the Norfolk area, seeing how this is the new CR.net I figured I would stop in to say hai.

[weeata]

There's gotta be more HR people here than just us! lol

[OCD]

FB...

[mortal meerkat]

just signed up. sup OCD, sup?

[OCD]

I doubt this thread will see more traffic than CR, but at least this site isn't blocked from my work. I hate having to use Tor in order to see a car forum.


Plus it seems like this site will surpass what CR was.

[weeata]

So what's everybody doing this weekend? I'm going to see Christopher Titus at the Funny Bone Saturday night with a buddy from Richmond. And at some point have to figure out why the A/C compressor belt on my NB is squealing like a pig on most mornings when I start my car. That shit is ANNOYING.

[mortal meerkat]

ill probably be working all weekend. you probably wanna just replace that belt though. even after you tighten it, itll end up slipping again.

[weeata]

I'll try tightening it first. It's a brand new belt, just got put on three weeks ago. But if its starts squealing again I will certainly replace it. It's got to piss my next door neighbor off who works nights and is asleep when I leave for work. His bedroom window is about five feet away from where I park my car :blauch:

[JohnnyZoomNow]

I think are spread out over too many sites. This new forum looks good but we have FB, had CR(didn't know it died), there is the grip forum, the autocross forum, VaDriven(have logged on their in months), the old standard miata.net, and i'm sure a couple more that aren't coming to mind right now. I guess I'm just a fair weather car guy anyway the Miata hasn't been out of the garage in weeks, I haven't even been checking the forums very often. Come on spring.

[weeata]

Hey Johnny! I agree, there are a lot of places for us locals to go on the internet. I've been hanging out here and haven't been back to m.net or clubroadster since. I don't get muhc forum time anymore either but it's nice to fill a void when you're bored or have a question or something cool to share!

I won't have much time for forums coming up here soon.. looks like I will be the new VP of Membership with TSCC (I'm running un-opposed.. lol) so between that and Grip stuff.. I am pretty darn busy! :domo:

[OCD]

Yeah will have to say I use the FB group more, but it's nice to have a forum to call home. I like the way this is run as opposed to big corporate, at least the owners give a damn about this site.

As for time...I have it, just don't post much.

oh, we need a cruise soon...

i know this is a few months old, and its not quite richmond but i agree....

[kung fu jesus]

Tidewater/RDU gangbang this summer?

[tsingson]

That would make for an interesting meet.

[kung fu jesus]

Should meat-up for a VIR track day.

[ZQQMIN]

Should meat-up for a VIR track day.

I second...

[kung fu jesus]

I bet we might be able to get a good turnout for something like that. Hell, I would drive to ATL for the weekend to run Road Atlanta for a HPDE.

[ZQQMIN]

its sooooooo sad the lack of support or members here in Va. they have GOT to be hiding........right ?

[riefdaddy]

I'm in Yorktown and as soon as I am roadworthy, I will be up for a meet. I should be good in a week or so, then another week or two to shake things out. What FB page are you all on?

[DK Wolf]

Just saw this thread..


you all suck seriously.

[tsingson]

I will be in Vienna on Saturday. I will be heading home on Sunday. I had though about heading up on Friday but didn't know if you guys get together. From the looks of this thread, it doesn't seem like it.

[DK Wolf]

Agh.. I just came back down from Fredericksburg. Went to some dog show because this girl I'm dating has her dog in the competition.


Jesus... what a strange world

[yungmx5]

We should do a krispey kreme meet up. Also is anyone here going to SOWO/Waterfest/H2O? Other major car shows in the surrounding areas?

[oneslow90]

Maybe Springfest if the car is done, but definitely going back to H20i this year

[DK Wolf]

So.. looks like I'll be in the area for a bit longer.

Feel free to message me if any of you guys need help with anything.



Check out tidewater roadsters facebook group to see the confused reactions of people trying to deal with me.

[pnoy1duh]

Back in my home area. Buying a house in Newport News, working in Hampton and possibly VA Beach...sooo

Anybody here like Duck Donuts?

[DK Wolf]

Donuts are gross.



And I live on 30th street in NN. Come hollah if you ain't afraid of getting shot by one of my bruthus

[riefdaddy]

You know that's right, DK. Safer at my house. Good to meet you in person today and glad I could help you get your car back on the road.

[DK Wolf]

Well safer, for you folks since neither of you are African American.

But I'm one of them.



But on some real levels, I've integrated well with my neighborhood. Met a few of the thugs and they usually creep around when I'm working on the car. Instead of being scurred I opened their eyes to the world of craft beer with my ice chest filled with various delicacies. They fell in love. And my direct neighbor is apparently an important "figure-head" in the local community who just so happens to own the only nice car in the area, a brand new Range Rover with plates "UAINTG" and he finds me funny when I'm telling stories to the kids as they come up to me asking me random kid shit.


This area is pretty cool though, I managed to walk to the corner store at 10pm and not get mugged.. only mildly harassed.

[riefdaddy]

I haven't had a Duck Donut. What are they closer to, Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme?

[pnoy1duh]

I haven't had a Duck Donut. What are they closer to, Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme?

Neither....just find the nearest one and go early. It'll be an epiphany of what a good donut should be. Do any of you guys go to the local Cars and Coffee meets?

[riefdaddy]

I think the closest one is in Williamsburg. I might try them one day.

[pnoy1duh]

anybody?

[DK Wolf]

sounds like the exact crowd I'd hurt feelings at.

If there's a decent Shabu Shabu in the area I'm down to go meet up at one. But I'm not about to go standing around a parking lot looking at cars.
