vbb - The one downside to VA is us out of state license plate drivers are targets for your state police. The northern caravan caused a lot of attention headed down to Dover...

I again had the best time at the meet. Great people. I'm looking forward to more meets. Coming from nissan there is this yearly gathering called Zdayz. Check it out. Maybe we can pattern something like this.

It's a really well put together event.

I could even get the local Lexus dealership involved with organization and maybe we can get some corporate attention as well. This could all be done.
And for this reason (Lexus dealership sponsorship and hopeful corporate attention), we should probably do it in VA Beach.

Let's do this! And I'll help in organizing the Southern NELOC coalition (DC/MD/VA).

An East Coast Lexus meet would be awesome, and has been done before (see Lexfest from 2005 and 2006, which can be found in the Lexfest 07 forum in the Regional ClubLexus forums). Yes, those past events will be a hard act to follow, but we can start small and grow this into a major event.

Haha they can't see your plates when they are running radar/lidar. They catch you hundreds of feet away before you see them

The key will be to see if we can get more southern members to drive up to make it happen. I know of a ton of spots for pics and a great park where we can rent out a shelter and do a full on BBQ. I've actually organized a meet exactly like this about 6-7 years ago down here, so it would not be too difficult for me to do it again. Most of the people ended up making it a vacation weekend, which was cool... come down on Friday, have the meet on Saturday, head home on Sunday.

Charles barker stores would likely participate

So.....at the end of the day it's a win for both West Coast and East Coast, just in different categories.
You definitely deserve a lot of credit for working to get everyone together. Most people that attended the SoCal meet I would have to say were only an hour of driving away. Some were 1.5 hours. For you to get people from so many states, together was a great achievement.

Blitz_714 and VtotheJ should work on a nationwide IS F meet.

I move to second the Vegas proposal. If we could get good enough casino pre-coordination, the photo shoots would be unbelievable. Just imagine the photo potential with all the parking with the Luxor in the background
