Ill be there, most likely riding shotgun in a certain Mustang GT that is about due for its debut.
University of Maryland Spring Meet FOR CHARITY - April 26th, 2009
- Thread starter Z284ME
- Start date
Not yet...but it's getting taken apart VERY soon.
No kidding. I admit that I need to learn how to launch the car, but shifting one has never been a problem for me. This car needs a trans rebuild, so, now it's gonna get one :beer:
I wont own up to that yet. Lets see how I do AFTER the car works correctly...lol.
Mike, has anyone looked at it yet? You just going to have at it?
Not sure what you mean...it's in definitely need of a rebuild. The damn thing is hard as hell to shift, no matter how slowly you do it. Not really sure what the deal is, could by syncros, could be a bent shift fork that caused premature wear..who knows. Once the trans is out, I'm gonna haul it up to Billy and let him be the judge of exactly what it needs. I have no problem pulling the thing out on my own, but as for rebuilding it...eh. I've watched people rebuild transmissions before (manuals and autos) but that's one thing I've yet to attempt myself. I hear it's not to bad, but when I do try it, it'll probably be on a T-5.
I should also mention that I was going to let Billy pull it (because even though I've pulled many a T-5 on my back..this damned T-56 is one heavy SOB), but I have been offered the use of a lift and a trans jack to save my aging spine. So now I get to yank it, and haul it up there. Speaking of which...I need someone to follow me down so that I can get back home after I remove the trans...anyone?

I've been twice, good event, mix of a lot of cars.
I won't be on the grill this year giving out MACA-approved cooked food, so I'd be wary of the food you buy at the meet... Like Tim said, eat a good breakfast and lets meet up after to eat or something.
You can park wherever there is an open spot. Don't let anyone tell you where to park. It's first come first serve. If you want to park near some cobras and people tell you they are saving spots for their friends, tell em to **** off and park there anyway.
ill be there as long as i have my car
Usually we meet up off campus and cruise in together. Great event.
Cool, hopefully I will meet up with some of you guys. Keep me posted where everyone is meeting before the show.
I was just about to say "Yumm! Hot dogs! I'll be there". But a calendar check looks like I'll be at Summit Point then.

Off-roading??
It was fun for a few moments, but the work afterwards isn't worth it. :lol1:
ahh come on Tom, you know you want to park next to your import friend! lol
I'll be there guys...in my Integra since I no longer have a Cobra....very sad. Hopefully one day I can waste my friends flavor again and buy another! :rockon:
I may go. Depends on the weather.
I probably will be. There is a wheeling event out in Winchester that saturday and sunday, so I'll most likely be there. I might try to swing by the meet after if it's early enough. Show off the busted up, muddy Jeep lol.
i think we should start a list of people who are going to be attending this meet. I for one am 80% sure I will be going if I can get my car running right and would like to know all who plan on going so maybe I can meet up with some of you for once.
I'm down! Has the decision been made on a meeting time/location for us to gather prior to rolling onto the campus. This will ensure us the ability to park together as we'd all be rolling in together. I'm coming from Waldorf, so if anyone wants to meet in this area let me know and then we can head to the "official" MACA meeting spot and head to the campus. Let me know.

maca meet place/time
Ditto Rodney. I'm attending, just let me know where we're all meeting and the time so we can roll in together. I enjoy frightening the natives this way.
I hear you guys had such a great impression on Ikea yesterday maybe they want us to meet there again.
