Wed GTG indoors at Jack Junkies 1/16/13

We are going to do the Wed GTG at Jack Junkies again this week. Turnout was great last time, and there was plenty of room for more cars inside and out. All are welcome regardless of car type, whether you came to chat, wrench, drink, watch or maybe just put your car on a lift to see underneath. Its free to hang out, and the suggested donation to use lifts, tools, etc. is only $5.

Bring a 6-pack of your favorite brew or grab one from someone else. We will order pizza if folks get hungry. I'm also hoping a shutterbug might show up and take some cool shots.

GTG starts around 6 and runs to 8-ish. Don't be surprised if a few folks head to a nearby bar to keep it going a little longer. :)

Dibs on a non-lift bay near the tire machine.

In. Scratch that. Out.

if i get over this flu bug, i'll be there.

Legit, I might check this out

Rain sleet or snow ill be there.

Great idea, I'm in esp since I live about 10 feet from JJ.

Might show up for this.

I'm out. Gotta work.

Keep an eye on the weather. We are still "on" if its cold, but if it starts sleting/snowing again tomorrow, I'm not taking the Miata out.

If it is snowing tomorrow night how bout we push it back to next Wednesday?

In for tomorrow night. Out next Wednesday the 23rd.

I have a conflict next Wed, but the group is always welcome to GTG on your own at JJ, just call ahead and make sure they have space, or let me or JD Canadian or Nails know and we will arrange it.

I think I am in tomorrow night.

a lil' on the spot!, but, ok,

I'll be there before six... line-up at the FIRST garage door. double park inside. bring a flashlight to look at your car's undersides!

nails is like ann hiech. he's in, he's out, he's in. haha

I'll be there by 6 today, maybe a little before. Bring your favorite brew, or be a hero and pick-up a case or 12-pack to share at the store (we will divy-up the funds to help-out after we pay the shop.) No need for a cooler, since its 30 degrees on the front porch. :)


$5 suggested donation, but it is free to socialize!

Anyone got a link to this place or a map link? I plan on coming out.

MS

Here ya go... :rolleyes:

I'll be there around 6:15. See you guys there.

Well I want to see this Jack Junkies place, so I guess I'll make the long and treacherous journey from the World Headquarters to Plano. ;-)

I'll tell the PoPo to be on the lookout...

Take the PGBT. Easy sailing. I know it costs money (you cheap bastard), but the cost is worth it to avoid 635 and 75 during rush hour.

Well, we used the lifts to do some much needed upgrades to my car like putting on the license plates. This would have been a real bear if we had to actually stoop to use the screw driver.

Was a lot of fun meeting everyone!
Ill bring more pizza next time.

Lots of new faces last night. Thanks to all for coming out, and to nails and jdcanadian for helping with the lifts and such. I think we ended up with a case of leftover free beer! I'll bring it in a cooler to the next one to go with trendie's pizza. ;)

Looks like a nice place, cleaner than your average workshop. I'll try and make it next time.

Very cool! Good to see some old faces and meet some new ones. All it needs now is strippers.

Really cool place. Good to see everyone last night. I can definitely see using that place in the future, especially the tire mounting and balancing equipment!

Glad I made it out. A little scared to get my NA on a lift but maybe next time. Agreed; definitely looking forward to being able to mount/balance. I forgot to ask if they're okay with having tires shipped directly there but I'm sure a quick phone call will get an answer. I think many will be especially excited once (i think this is a when not if) they get the "alignment" part of the alignment rack.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I have used that place a few times and have enjoyed it. Did anyone have any issues getting up the ramp and into the shop? Not sure if the MSM will clear without scraping.

I think my NC is the only one that scraped, and even that was just barely on the resonator. I'm pretty low; I can't use most full-service car wash places because it won't clear the wheel guides.

I briefly scrapped as well. Not much but if you're any lower then either of us then you should start worrying.

Mine scraped a little.

it was a great turnout!... my nb didn't scrape
