    I'll be there, hopefully with a couple friends too. Its been awhile since I've made it to Caffeine and Octane. It may be 8-9 before I can get over there though.

    Is there an area where all the WRX guys get together?

    If you wait that long, you'll be parking in the hotel behind the parking lot.

    Where are you guys parking? I'm not too familiar with the area. I haven't been to C&O since it was at the Avenue in East Cobb.

    You should also note that there are places that give away coffee and doughnuts all over the place.

    I like your point, but what is that smiley supposed to be doing? He's scratching his ass on your post, man.

    At any rate, having just acquired my WRX and spent nothing in mods as of yet, I hope to be there but parked well away from the show so as not to waste anyone's time looking for a subtle mod or something. If the ground is dry, I'll probably skip out around 10 so I can hit some trails. Going to be a cold one, either way.

    honestly if you can get there early and line up, go for it. There are plenty of normalish cars that show up. I used to park in the middle of it, and my sti is pretty stock on the outside.

    Now that im stuck in a camry, if I'm not doing a shoot that morning, I WILL park that sucker away.

    This isn't a "show", it's a meet. Nobody is judging anything.

    Those coffee and donuts around the show are expecting a cash donation.

    In all likelihood, I'll be riding with a buddy since I cannot carry bikes on the WRX yet. Still, if I park in the meet, will it prove difficult to head out before everyone wraps it up?

    I park where I do, because it makes it easy to get out early.

    As of right now...it looks like I'm holding spots for drowland and JP.

    PM me if you want to get there early enough for me to hold you a spot. I will only hold spots for Subaru's and FR-S's.

    I'll be fine. It's over at 6, gives me 12 hours to recover. I've been practicing lately.

    Just because that is over at 6 doesn't mean we have to stop at 6.

    Trying to create a sense of community. Everyone says that we never try to park together and that they never see any WRX/STi's there. I'm offering up my time to try and change that.


    Have you seen how deep the Mini's, the Z's, TSM, or the other groups roll in together?

    Look for them when you come park...hopefully they can hold a spot.

    I will probably get there a little earlier then 6:30. I will try to hold spots as long as I can, but it really starts filling up at 7.

    Great talking to everyone and an excellent turnout of different chassis types, despite the cold.
    Thanks again to Wagunz_pwn for coordinating.

    Hoping for Tuesday, we'll see. If we do it'll just be for camaraderie and drinks, watching the ol' budget.

    Thanks to everyone that came out and braved the cold!

    Next time...it would be nice to get some of the 2008's and up out here. Blobs ruled the lineup, with 7!
