VA/MD/DC Meet interest?

[bstrong]

Hi,

I'm a new VX'er. Meet date sounds good to me. I'll be the one holding up my passenger window with one hand and steering with the other.

I purchased my VX about a month ago. Passenger window failed a few days ago. I Discovered ceramic tab that bolts to regulator at bottom of window became unglued. Probably due to the well documented "window binding" problem. I've done the window fix per the posting I've seen on this site...but what kind of glue/epoxy/sticky-stuff do I use to fasten the ceramic tab back on to the bottom of the window? .

I'm also in the market for a roof rack...Any leads?

The 23rd is good for me. I would love to see a whole line of VX's at my usual Saturday Night cruise at Burger King in Manassas, in place of all the late model Mustangs and Vette's, but it may not be convenient for most folks, except maybe those to the west. Also, near Sperryville, on 211 at the base of the mountains of Shenandoah National Park, there is an open car show every weekend. It's a nice scenic drive once you get on 211 and a very cool country setting, with lots of cars and bikes passing through all day long. I only wish I could drive both my VX and my Cobra.

I was at that show about 2 weeks ago with a buddy (we usually go before dark, which means before the ricers and low riders show up) along with his Cougar, and about 4 years ago in my Hummbug. It would be fun to see a line of VXs in the field (overflow, but a fitting place for the VXs) behind the BJ next to all of the cars.

I do think that something more central would be a good idea though.

Hey Tad,

Can I crash at your place?

Doesn't seem like anybody has been able to pin down a meeting location yet so I'll throw out the idea of meeting somewhere in Tyson's Corner. There is plenty of parking, good restaurants/bars and it's pretty centrally located. Any thoughts??

By the power vested in me by me, I now declare you the Namer-of-the-Meet-Location. Pick a restaurant and I'll be there.

Yup, name the place and I'll be there.

Hey, shouldn't we meet somewhere were we can do some off-roadin'. I just recently purchased my VX in APril and I am ashamed to have only driven it in the city since. It is screaming to run free in the wild!! Cmon guys, yeah restaurants and meeting anywhere would be great, but lets make our babies happy and give them some wide open spaces to play in. Any ideas?

[vxstorm]

On a side note Tyson's Corner would be great. Maybe there are some cool roads around Great Falls that we could take? I am not entirely familar with that area.

Lately, my wife and I noticed more in more VXs. In two weeks I saw 5 different Vehicross alone! My wife saw 2.
All in Fairfax, Herndon, Reston and Sterling area.

They stop making them right?

I saw one parked in a townhouse/apartment complex lot last night near the Fair Oaks mall. It looked like an Ironman. Anybody here?

I suspect it was yours that I saw once or twice in Herndon.

Okay, how about meeting at Tyson's II. I was thinking The Cheesecake Factory. I scoped out the parking situation today and I think if we all meet on the top of the parking garage at the far end by Macy's there would be plenty of room available - if weather gets too hot or if these regular afternoon showers pop up we can move to the lower level of the garage. In order to accomodate everyone's busy schedule and to avoid the restaurant rush lets meet at 3:00pm.

For those unfamiliar with the area the address is:
Tysons Corner II - Galleria Mall
1796 International Drive, McLean, VA 22102

I don't know of any offroading spots in the area, probably too close to the city. If anyone has a better idea/location lets hear it.
