I noticed that there weren't any events in December. Are we going to do any local races or cruises, so we can all have fun and stay close to home for Christmas?:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

[L8 APEX]

Most of the holiday season is spent at home or Bonedadddy's

[Wht95Lightning]

I wasn't able to get to the October GTG at Pappas. I want to get to the next one. The sooner I know where and when though the better. I travel on biz relentlessly and have to plan way in advance for anything fun (not work related). Am I running myself into the ground? Probably but it keeps toys in the garage and clothes on the kid. What else matters?

Anyway, I plan to be at the November meet assuming there is one, just need specs soon.

Thanks :tu:

Does that mean we will have a meet somewhere besides Papa's? I like differant places now that I'm in Dallas. Just pick it and stay with it.:beer:

Tim I think it's going to remain at Papa's, but what did you have in mind? I think Papa's was agreed upon mainly because it's somewhat centrally located.

Anyway, we DO have permission to park on the south side of the building underneath the awning (where we parked after the group pic in April). No need to hide the trucks in the back....

[TxBolt]

Well I like Bonedaddy's and I'm willing to drive to Duncanville. Papa's has no honey's to look at. I think Papa's was decieded cause no one could make up their mind. Why can't we have Papa's one mounth, Bonedaddy's the next and Duncanville the next and set a schedual, and the next mounth open for discussion of some place new. We don't have to make a big deal its all fun. If were stuck on one place I will start missing cause it will get boring. I'm open minded, I use get off at 2pm from work so I could make a meeting 120 miles away, and my boss was not happy. Why can't we all get along?:hammer:

[Silver_2000]

As long as the schedule is posted 3 month in advance We can meet anywhere you want...

The reason we picked Pappas was cause it is centrally located AND because we were tryingto drive up attendance by NOT changing the venue 4 hours before the meeting....

So who is gonna make a schedule and post it in the calendar ?

Someone wanna take this one.....?

I see 17,000 women three times a week at UNT. The 'women' factor is very low on the priority list for me in terms of GTG's. I'm there for the trucks, not the chicks. Probably just me though....:)

I go to hang out with guys that are knowledgable about our trucks, which is very difficult to find elsewhere. I go to see Wayne do burnouts and the many mods he adds in a month, to see how much alcohol Scott has consumed, to see Terry fix people's stuff in a parking lot, to see Doug take hundreds of pics, to see Mark's (HIHOAG) hair stand on end, to see Brian smile at trucks burning out on the street that, in any other situation, he would pound the drivers, etc. You get the idea. I'll take the trucks over the chicks. Bricks over chicks? :D All of these reasons are priceless.

I *think* the reason it was moved was to avoid the bickering and the uncertainty month-to-month.

So anyone want to be a schedule engineer? We need a taker! One person designed to due it and it couldn't be changed at the last minuite. I met a Silver Lightning owner at UT at Dallas Friday working on getting him to attend. Nice dude with a Cobra show car. He's been viewing the site. Were popular!:tu: I see honey's all day at the university but I like change sometimes. I go for the same reasons. The dudes at Talon are Cool!!!:cool:

[Red2002]

Cool Tim!

Ever had a bad experience approaching other Lightning owners? I had two in one night! In Arlington, there is a place where dudes 'hang out'.

Anyway, these guys were total jackasses. I asked if they were aware of TALON, the local gathering of Lightning enthusiasts. They both looked at me like I was nuts and they couldn't understand why people would 'meet'. I wasn't in my Lightning at the time, but what better test of character to approach a possible contributing member when in a pseudo-vehicle Volvo S40. :D

Anyway, I walked away from the arrogant kids gladly knowing they will never find this group or site. Pr*cks.

[L8 APEX]

I like Papa's for location, parking, fast service, and cheap beer:beer: I think it is working well for the local guys arranging GTG's at their favorite local spots Bonedaddy's, Hooters etc... I ate lunch with a club member at Hooters in Plano today, I think Sixer, Crawford, Mark2 are meeting at Bonedaddy's this week K.I.S.S.:tu:

[Crawford]

I think Pappas blows. They should be ashamed to call that stuff they serve BBQ or food for that matter. The beer specials are good but the place is just plain boring. Bonedaddys is the ideal place in my opinion with the exception of location for some of the guys that are farther away. For what it's worth I think we should move the meetings back to where they were ment to be... Bonedaddys.

[OneRedTXBolt]

Crawford,

What are you doing up at 2:44am? Don't you have to go to work Monday morning?! :d

Thats the second time you have held back your feeelings about Pappas. You need to let us know how you feel... LOL

Too be honest the food aint great at either location. YOu just dont notice at Bonedaddys.

[Crawford]

James: Well I couldnt sleep so I thought I would do a little surfin.
Doug: You have a couple of valid points there. :D

[andy_cain]

Wherever we decide, needs to be permenent.
Constant changes will only lessen participation.

Most of us will drive wherever it happens to be just to hang out with our fellow L owners. The eye candy truthfully is just an added bonus as unless I haven't read the right post...no one has ever met their "soul mate" at one of these meeting while gazing through the "eye candy jar".

For what it is worth, the food selection and quality of both is about even in my book, and do any off us really restrain ourself from the purchase of beer at $3. a bottle vs. $1. a bottle....no!

If we are selecting a place to meet because its a few bucks cheaper...we are driving the wrong damn vehicles...matter of fact, does anyone even know what they paid at one place verses the other without looking in the check book for the debit receipt?

Point is...it doesn't matter...pick one place and leave it !!!
I can burn out in any parking lot, and $1.00 beer doesn't taste any better than a $3.00 beer that has the same label. If folks are concerned over cost, likely they wont be there anyway as it cost more is gas in theses BEASTS to get to and fro than it does for dinner.

Looks like a compromise might be in order. Months containing "Rs" we meet at Bonedaddy's. (It is only a coincidence that this also coincides with oyster eating season.) Months not containing "Rs", somewhere else. :cool:

If we meet at Bonedaddy's, would we be eating oysters, or clams? LOL I'll bet you'll be hard pressed to find the elusive bearded clams in the summer. They seem to flourish more in the winter months. :)

The months without "R"s are the summer months, and that's when we can get scantily clad women outside to take pictures! I say we go to BoneDaddy's in all months that have at least 4 letters in the name.

Think you could add some new script to the moderating on the F-150 forum...like maybe one that deletes BS like "who farted in their L, Who drives...,cars/dogs..kids drive...wife drive...Lord I am coming home."

Gotta give you a hats off though for leaving the rod through oil pan open long enough to see the real deal...thanks:beer:

It was beginning to get ugly.

BTW, I'm the tree hugging Red02SVTL over there. :rolleyes: LMAO Those kids crack me up.

[Silver_2000]

Is it my imagination or is the average age of Lightning owners like 14 ....

The really sad part is people like me, sixpipes, Ivanhoe and others really screw up the average and its STILL like 14...

Doug

[andy_cain]

Nope, it isn't just you...topics are crazy.
It has to be a full time job just monitoring the stupidity:bs :bs :bs
