Hey all, new guy here. I posted up on the other Veloster site and its pretty dead over there so I figured id post up here instead. I just bought my VT about a week and a half ago and I would like to meet some new people with the same car. Im looking to see if there would be any interest in starting a regular meet. I currently own a 370z as my weekend car and we have meets every saturday, we alternate between Columbia MD and Fairfax Va. This way the MD guys dont have to make the trip all the way down to Va (unless they want to of course) and the Va guys dont have to make the trek up to MD. The NOVA guys meet out in front of the Kohl's/Starbbucks in Fair Lakes and we all just go get coffee and hang out and BS about cars. Nothing too exciting, but its a great way to meet new friends and see what cars they have. Sometimes if the weather is nice we may go for a cruise. Every May we all go down and cruise the tail of the dragon in NC for a few days during "ZdayZ".

Obviously we wouldnt have to do Fairfax or Columbia, but ive noticed those two places are sort of "central" to Marylanders and NOVA'ers. Since this car is relatively new, Im sure it will be slow to pick up at first. Id love to learn more about what mods are out there and its always fun meeting fellow car enthusiasts. Let me know if there would be any interest in starting up a club of some sort.

Nice list of mods! Any other md'ers you know of that'd be interested in starting a club?

My friend has a black VT and there's another marathon around somewhere down here. I know my friend probably wouldn't be interested and I'm not sure who the other belongs to, but I can find out. Those are the only ones I know of. Honestly I haven't seen any on the road down here. There's plenty of half-grills running around though.

 

[Cristobal09]

Yeah I see quite a few base V's on the road but no VT's. Ive seen another group of VT's on here but theyre way down in southern Va. I would figure this area would be booming, at least with all the other car forums, NOVA usually is a hot spot for car meetups. I guess the VT is still too new?

 

[HellHunter]

Too new and too hard to find. I had to go to Fairfax to get mine.

Actually now that I think about it, my friend's neighbor has an Ironman VT. He might be in.

 

[Cristobal09]

Really? Theres tons of them in my area for sale. I just had to go to woodbridge to get one from a dealership that would budge on the price. Most of them around here try to sell them right at MSRP.

How far away are you from Columbia? Or heck, where do you live in MD, I wouldnt be going to MD so I guess it could happen wherever theres a big parking lot. Id like to get some more people interested before we make it "official". Particularly some NOVA'ers. Didnt these cars come out around July?

A VT Matte Grey here from Jessup/Columbia MD. I've driven to Roslyn VA for work over the last month and yet to see a Veloster of any sort! I've seen one Veloster NA in the past 2 months in the Columbia area...and I've been alookn'.

 

[HellHunter]

I live and work down in the southern end of southern md lol. I mean if it was planned out, I wouldn't really mind driving wherever "locally."

 

[Cristobal09]

I think the best thing to do is to just do a meet and post up pics. That way people know we aren't just talking. This Saturday in fairfax would be best for me. I have to make sure it doesn't overlap with my 370z meets. So fairfax this Saturday, then perhaps some place in md next week?

 

[Cristobal09]

We also go for lunch afterwards, have you ever heard of Todai?

Probably can't do this weekend. I have a training class to prep for next week.

 

[Cristobal09]

That's fine, this will give us more time to bring in some interest from others. That way we can find what's closest for all of us. Im pretty dead set on fairfax for the virginians, not sure what'd be best for marylanders but usually columbia is a good place.

So it looks like columbia would be a nice commute for you for a meet! Id really like to get the ball rolling on getting some places official.

 

[HellHunter]

Suo my schedule cleared up, but it's supposed to snow decently Friday night. Probably not the best idea to do anything Saturday.

 

[Cristobal09]

The chances of the snow hitting us are very slim. If we do it this weekend, it would have to be fairfax, then we can do columbia or somewhere else the following weekend.

The weather you get and the weather I get are usually completely different...Lol. Hell even within the county it's different from north end to south end...all the water around here makes it interesting.

 

[Cristobal09]

Well we can play it by ear, its all good.

My 370z group meets every weekend regardless, people stare at us seeing a bunch of people standing out next to their cars in 20 degree weather, or if its raining. We have even gone when it was snowing...lol.

Its just going to be tough until we get more people on board with these meets. I thought that thered be a lot more interest but I guess since theres so few of us out there it will take awhile.

 

[HellHunter]

So get this, the first shitty day of winter and what ends up behind me on the road? An ironman VT...go figure.

 

[Cristobal09]

Thats odd. Right when I read that I noticed a white one just like mine out in front of my townhouse right now, waiting for the guy to come out of the subway which I think is where he is.

update - guy had the personality of a rock, forget him.
