I'm organizing a Bay Area Meet this means anyone from the east bay(oakland, berkley,all the way through pinole/hercules/concord/martinez), west bay (San Francisco), Northbay (Santa Roasa, Napa, sonoma, marin), Southbay (San Jose, Daly City, Santa Clara), or the penninsula (San Mateo, Palo Alto)

Chime in if you live in this area. It might be fun to make our excursion to the napa valley to sip wine and eat cheese while we chat.

I'm pretty sure that I will be driving down to San Diego to spend spring break with my family. I'll also spend a day or two up in Carlsbad kissing butts to try to find an internship for the summer. In the meantime, I would like to meet up with the crew down there! I'll probably be able to meet up sometime between the 26th and 29th of March. I look forward to meeting you guys (and gals)!

i was in san diego last week for my work and got to meet up with popeye. it was dark already so not much car comparing (although i must say his silver, er ah sterling elantra was shining nicely). we got some good grub and some coronas at the red fox steak house...

i had a conference to be at early in the AM and pops had his big move to prepare for, so we didn't have time for more craziness...

pops is an upstanding guy... next time anyone is in SD i suggest you hook up with him!

btw, while i was there, i hooked up with a base mazda6 rental... surprisingly competent for a base mid-size car: 2.3L 160hp 4cyl (same motor in my 3), 17" rims with 215/50VR17 rubber, and a pretty stiff and competent suspension. the 4cyl with auto was kind of anemic as one might expect, but at least the shiftronic manu-matic auto worked well.

Southpaw made the trek out to San Diego yesterday on business and suggested a get together. After clearing my mucho busy schedule, we met at the ever popular Red Fox Room in Anton's old haunt of North Park for some beer, seared meat and some form of potato.

We did not solve anything or find world peace, but we did admit our addiction to forums and this one in general. We discussed an Elantraclub 12 step program briefly but the beer began to cloud our thinking...

Southpaw's a smart and talented guy and it was a pleasure to hang with him, even if he does drive a Mazda . Naturally I'll say anything glowing about him as the meal was on him or rather his company Thanks again Anton!

Last week I had the pleasure of having dinner with Geoelectric. He has the 07 HD. Pretty cool guy. He had this gleam in his eyes of how he was gonna slowly transform his HD by modding............ he has that excitement that was a pleasure to note about his HD and how much he liked it. Soooooooooooo, anyhoo it was a pretty good meeting and discussed matters of the world and we did solve the world-hunger issues, solved the economic failures, talked a lot about the eclub and he mentioned how much it has impacted him in buying this car and is looking forward to many posts of his car. I guess I have to thank Mitch for putting this club together. Oh, by the way I did say that Bobzilla is really a Cooooooooool dude.......... So thank you geoelectric for taking time to meet with me.

I am offering someone 100 dollars to help me install as set of
Springs and shocks on my elantra gls 4 door. I have many basic tools,
But no spring compressor. I am planning on getting H&R and I am
Not sure what shocks yet. Any suggestion on what kind?
I am not interested in the tiby shocks, cuz I
Don’t want to raise my back end up. I am located in Newport Beach CA,
so let me know if you can help me out.

Thanks guys

NW TOY RUN 2006

December 9 , 2006
Time: 12 noon
Place: 272nd park n ride. exit 147 off I-5
Bring: unopened toy

TOYS FOR TOTS

YEP. THATS RIGHT! SATURDAY DEC.9th 12 NOON AT 272ND PARK N RIDE. EXIT 147. GONNA DRIVE DOWN TO OLYMPIA IZZY'S. DROP OFF TOYS AND EAT LIKE KINGS.
This is going to be a BIG ONE. I want to see everybody there. I mean everybody. This is for the CHILDREN that are less fortunate. I don't care what you bring, a hot wheel or a stuffed animal. Just an unopened toy. This will show the community that all the cars are not street racing all the time. This will be an open forum event. I will post on other forums. YOU NEED TO BE AT THIS ONE!
LETS MAKE SOME KIDS HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!
Will have the web page up soon. still last years on it. www.nwtoyrun.org


I HOPE TO SE EVERYBODY , I MEAN EVERYBODY who has ever looked at this page to attend. as you can tell last years was AWSOME. and this years will be better!!!!!!!!! the web page is still in the works and some pics don't show unless you are a member of that club. i will be fixing it soon. will be adding the forums i post on also. this will be on a saturday and even in the after noon so NO EXCUSES! HA HA HA!!!!

So this month is the 4 year anniversery of my putting together BBQ's....

I'm trying to get something sort of big put together. I hope to at least.

I allways extend the invite to the Elantra people, but you guys really dont show up. I'm hoping that will change.

I'll keep this thread updated when I get a location and date.

Having a disability is not cheap. I know this for a fact. I'm able to use *regular* stuff, but some people need specialized equipment and accessability *mods* that run into big bucks.

This is Eric:


I met Eric at a friends 50th wedding anniverary several years ago (my mother and his great aunt Carolyn were best friends). I also tested Eric for computer technology assistance and found not much except custom fabricated switches and laser pointer equipment best suited him to *talk*. Eric is non-verbal, but is able to keep up in regular classes in his middle school. The software and hardware I designed for him allows him to communicate easily with peers and whoever he chooses to talk to.

His parents need to modify their house to accomodate Eric's needs. This can be very expensive. A local high school student who also attends Clark County Skills Center in Vancouver WA decided to help out to figure a way to help with the home remodel. This website was created for a auction to assist the family in the remodel process.

The home is non-wheelchair accessible and the plans are to create:

Bedroom and bathroom to fit Eric's wheelchair including an electric hoyer lift
Wider doorways
Wider hallways
Leveling off the landscape so no ramp is needed
Redoing entrance of the home

The hoyer lift is at least $3,000 for a basic unit. What is suggested is one that has a track on the ceiling in the bedroom through the bathroom, which is 3 times the cost of the basic unit.

I hope I can make the auction. Haven't seen Eric since he was 8.

UPDATE!

I have decided since the 28th is the last weekend before Halloween and most people will be attending parties that I will be moving the date back a week to Saturday October 21st . This means I will need your money for tickets no later than Monday October 16th.

well I met popeye and equus today, what a great time I had, they are so nice and fun, especially popeyes lil boy what a cutie, we met at a diner and equus, me , and my hubby saw and accident involving an older model accent that hit a n explorer and then FINALLY popeye got there. Right before he got there I called him and accidently called Equus who was sitting right in front of me so we laughed at that, we just had a great time, we got to see and play with the new HD, very neat car inside we took pics and popeye will post them soon, I just want to thank Equus and popeye for the good time and it was very nice meeting them, we had a good time and hope we can meet again.

Do we have ANY Elantra members out here in Hawaii? I will be here in Honolulu till Saturday 29th of July. Hoping there would be someone way out here that I could put a face to the name maybe toast a few brewskes!!!!

On July 13th 2006, Equus and I will be in Vancouver for a conference. After the conference, I would like to get the locals to come for a mini meet. Since I'm rarely in the Portland area, it would be nice for a meet that evening.

On July 1st, several people are having a meet in Lacey WA to go to a local car show and possibly to Ocean Shores afterward. We will be meeting at the Capital Christain Center on Martin Way (exit 109) and heading to the fairgrounds for the HSR06 car show. Pumbaa and I plan on attending.

Whats up guys, my name is Jake and ive been on the forums for a while. I live in Las Vegas, NV and Im going to try and start up a hyundai movement! Anyone with a hyundai in the Las Vegas area is welcome. No meet time or anything yet, but its something I want to get started. I have a lot of hopes an aspirations which could eventually turn out to be something really good for both the elantra and hyundai community. I even wanna try and work with some of the shop owners I know and maybe even develop aftermarket car parts that we've all been looking for and just cant get! Call me if you're interested cause Im going to try and get a website together and a meeting time and place. 702 686 5345

So in a nutshell, my car needs a full alignment, at one tire repaired. Tires should be rotated but I doubt balanced. Now the hard question.. Anyone know a "quality" shop in SoCal??

I need to have this done Friday or Saturday at the latest... yea i'm pushing my luck i know.. wouldn't be me unless I was...

I see lots and lots of Elantras around here where I live and none of them areon this site, wtf! u know they look their car up on the computer why haven't they joined the club, my salesman knew about this club, whassup wit that?

Please check it out.
