    Hello ladies and gentlemen! :) Here's your 2014 dinner meet thread! 2013 was another fantastic year with new members flooding to these to meet other members and get to know them and their cars better!

    And away we go!

    (Yes, I copy/pasted from the 2013 thread. Deal with it...)

    I tried to get stuff in Gwinnett... Norcross was as close as I could really find anything that was still good for marietta/west side folks.

    If there's any other suggestions, for somewhere like...midtown, let me know! RiRa was good, but there's a ton of places in midtown... The Local?

    Had a good meal at Villains the other night. Wouldn't be big enough unless we did the meet in the summer on their patio.

    I'll try to make it out to one of these for 2014.

    For the Raging Burrito meetups, Decatur parking meters arent enforced after 7pm so grab one and pay til then. Or pay to park at the Raging Lot.

    We can try it (maybe instead of 5 seasons once?), but it's rather small inside.

    They have parking behind the restaurant, it was Valet the night I went but I don't know if they do valet every night. Otherwise there is that pay lot a quarter block over.

    Remember that they offer 90 minute validated parking in the parking lot behind their patio. Just bring your parking receipt to the restaurant for validation, and the lot attendant will refund your $5 parking fee when you leave.

    I should be at the next one, unfortunately i'll miss this one due to a conflict tonight.

    I'm horrible with names the two new guys One of you asked me when is the first major service. If you wanted me to work on it I should of given you better contact info. To get me to work on it you have to go through a certain route.. Like I told Matt tonight. I can work on it just I work in a different service part now. PM me and I'll give you my number or how to get an appointment setup for me to do the work.

    Yeah that was me (Ben). Thanks for the heads up.

    On a different note, does anyone know where to take my car to get a rock chip fixed up? I was looking at the front of my car and have a massive rock chip by the hood scoop and I am a little concerned about it. Thanks.
