Re: PIttsburgh
Okay, now that that wierd stint of "OMG DOOM IS COMMING!" weather that never really hit is gone, it's supposed to be getting nice by the end of this week. We should plan something for the end of the month, keeping in mind some of the underage people. QSnL in Cranberry seems to be a central place, or maybe we could find a park or something central and have a BBQ or something.

I graduated from New wilmington in '96. It sucks to be this old. I do work next to the place where they work on the school buses though.

Re: PIttsburgh
Anyone who wants to meet send me a pm. My friends and I would like to hit the dragstrip a few times this year--not sure which one or when. I haven't had my car to the strip so it should be interesting.

Re: PIttsburgh
All are welcome. I just found out about the cruise last summer. I went nearly every friday. Nothing crazy goes on but mostly just alot of great cars and even more B.S. I have met some very friendly and helpful people there. If your looking to find out whats going on in the area, there are alot of people there who know.

Re: PIttsburgh
I didn't realize that was your car with the ricekiller.com sticker. Nice ride. I was on the other side of the church. I plan on being there this week if mother nature cooperates. I'll keep my eyes open for you next time.

Re: PIttsburgh
There wouldn't be a rain date. They just skip a week. Too many people at the church over the weekend or something. The afternoon weather report looked a little better but as soon as I wash my car you know it will rain!

Re: PIttsburgh
I was there as well. I saw your car there but every time I went by it you weren't around. I would have parked by you but I didn't see your car until after I parked and there wasn't a spot by the time I found it. I was parked in the back row down from the bar-b-que guys--blue '88 Formula 350. I plan on being there again this Friday if it doesn't rain. I work til 5 so I usually don't get there until 5:30-5:45. If you can save me a spot that would be great.
