i think it has to do with the majority of us not being millionaires and not driving 200-400 thousand dollar cars. something around that line.... but your idea sounds good i like it. but where is longo lexus?

I'll be in Solvang end of this month so this sounds plausable, figure out a date and I'll see if I can find a city official to talk to about blocking a street for a couple hours.
Too bad we couldn't get CHP escort like Running of the Bulls.

So did this turn into a Slovang meet? or is this a premeet on the way to the north/socal meet. If not could someone start another thread because I thought this thread was for the North/south meet. Im just getting confused.
thanks,

My view of a N. & S. meet would be way However, both sides will have to factor in that this may be an overnight trip. Driving 200 miles then turning around won't be a short investment in seat time let alone the usual 2-3 hours we typically hang-out and drool over the cars.
The EOS meet is already established...so the overall investment lies with us So. Cal folk. Driving up to San Jose is a good 5 hours or so depending how far south you are. Get a room from $56-$130 and enjoy the day's festivities then head home the following day.
For a mid-ground meet, we need some member/s willing to do some leg work. We'd need a list of accommodations in varying price ranges as well as eats, not to mention a public location suitable for us to congregate. With as many CA members we have, this meet may be quite large. Due to time constraints of an early summer meet, I believe we will face a time issue to get things clarified.
Alternately, I suggested a meet and cruise for So Cal members. This is flexible so long as we have enough parties willing to make a 6-7 hour possible time commitment. The good thing here is it is a one day deal and you can opt to stay over. (This time issue will be more for the S.D. guys who add 2 hours on each side of this trip.)
We'd need to discuss what both So Cal and Nor Cal may be willing to do with a mid-ground meet.

somone contact the pismo beach chamber of commerce and ask them about the best time and location to hold this meet. i'm sure they'll be more than happy to accomodate 200+ well-off lexus owners and their families to visit their town for a day and patronize their businesses...
meet in pismo, group convoy and photo op at hearst castle, return home. sounds like a fun day to me. i'd be down to make it happen
