New York Auto Show

[NJSPEEDER]

hey gang,
i was wondering who woudl be interested in getting together as a group to hit the NYC show. i am thinking about trying to go on opening day, friday april 14th.
maybe we cna get a group together and get a better rate on tickets then hit someplace in that area for some eats. the convention center is right on the river and with in walking distance of chelsea pier if anyone wants to do anyting else while we are in the area too.
sound like a plan to anyone?
i will get the break down for group rates and let everyone know.

[Ian]

I'm down. thats far enough away that I can take off from work. :D

[ar0ck]

Im mostly likely going to be in on the press day (not open to the public), and I'll probably end up going again for free another day.

[Tsar]

maybe

[jims69camaro]

i think we should hit up public transportation together. those of us this far south could drive over to point pleasant, and those along the route could just join up with us as the train heads north. once we get to NY, everything is either by subway or within walking distance, so we wouldn't have to pay exhorbitant parking rates nor worry about who is going to jack our cars.

just a thought. :mrgreen:

[NJSPEEDER]

if you take the train into grand central i think it is only like 12-14blocks down to the hudson river and the convention center.
we will jsut need a system to all meet up with each other along the way or once in NYC.
the ewing/trenton crew would prolly leave from hamilton station since they have teh best/safest parking around here. :)

[turbo96z28]

you read my mind Tim......i'm definitley in!!!!!!!

[The Fixer]

I'll take the ferry over and meet you guys, since it's only 20 minutes for me. The ferry drops you off right across the street from the Javits Center. I'll meet up with you guys, I'm off from work that Friday. :) Kasey and Paul, you wanna head down there together?

[JW]

I might actually be interested in this, but yea I big supporter of the public trans. :)

JW :D

[V]

yeah im up for it, i am also going on that monday i think with my gf and some other people but ill go twice. Yeah the ferry would be the best choice IMO no city driving needed, just need to chekc if theres a decent place to eat in walkign distance, or wait to eat when back in NJ.

[WayFast84]

DAMN SCHOOL!!!!

[Tsar]

any north people going?

[Tsar]

DAMN SCHOOL!!!!
no matter what they try to tell you, its not important...

[BigAls87Z28]

Ill also probably have press passes again this year. I might be able to get a day off, but who knows.

[NJSPEEDER]

chelsea piers is only a few blocks from teh javits center and they have a pretty good restaurant/micro brew place in there as i remember. i think that would be a cool place to grab a bite.
there are a ton of little deli's and small resaurants in the area too.

[Ian]

is anyone from the new bruswick area going? I'll probably take the train from there, just wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up. :)

[Rich189]

i might be able to go depends on work and such

[jims69camaro]

meeting point in NY, then? or are we all going to get dropped off at grand central?

[Brando56894]

if any1 from the (surrounding) wayne area is going most likely ill be there

[qwikz28]

is anyone from the new bruswick area going? I'll probably take the train from there, just wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up. :)
i would go.

i think the easiest way would be to drive up to suckacockus or wherever the ferry is

[Ian]

i would go.

i think the easiest way would be to drive up to suckacockus or wherever the ferry is

If you want to drive up there, I'll gladly ride shotgun in your car! :lol:

[Brando56894]

and i could meet you guys there, dunno how close sucaucus is to wayne but its prolly not that far

[foff667]

Im in just let me know the details of what we're doing this year

[turbo96z28]

is anyone from the new bruswick area going? I'll probably take the train from there, just wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up. :)


i'm not that far from Brunswick.

i was gonna go from Woodbridge, only like 15 min from Brunswick if you wanna meet up with me there.

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm down, AND what we can do is all park at my house then take as few cars as possible to the ferry, if you guys want to (seeing how I'm the closest member to there). My house is easy to get to from the turnpike, parkway, 80, 4, 17... yea.

[79CamaroDiva]

i have to make sure that i'm not working that week, but i'll ride up with you if you want. train from the bruns is super easy, but it goes to penn, not grand central. nothing a subway cant fix.

[WayFast84]

so its friday a 14th in april at what time ?

WOOOOT!!! Im in!!

[jims69camaro]

nice. this is coming together.

[IROCZBeast]

I'm in. I'll probably take the bus to the port authority and walk to the javits center from there.

but I'm definately down for going as a big njfboa group.

Let me know what time we are meeting and where. If anyone wants to meet at the the port authority or at the allwood park and ride in clifton cause thats where I'll be leaving from just let me know.

[turbo96z28]

anyone in central......

Woodbridge train station is a direct line to Grand Central in NY. my house isn't too far away and there are some great diners nearby.

[qwikz28]

F The Plane! i mean train, whatever...

yeah i'm doin ferry, it takes you directly to the javits center and it wouldnt make sense to do it any other way. if anyone else wants to catch a ride let me know. we can also buy tix from the ferry station and get a discount.

[WayFast84]

I still have no idea how to get their or what to take and what not so im gonna have to tag along with some one, who ever is closest to me or the closest meeting place...

[turbo96z28]

as long as oyur mom is cool with you going, you can tag along with me Matt.

[WayFast84]

She is! I lucked out!! its the last day of spring vacation!! lol! theirs only one day off besides spring break. I mis under stood!, the train station your talking about is like 5 min away from best buy and woodbridge mall right? thats like 3 1/2 miles from my house...

[V]

On second thought, i may drive into the city. im sure i can find a parking spot somewhere on the side of the road. Id have to make sure my truck is nice and clean and shiny :-D

:lol: truck? what truck?

Fo some reason I didnt read the entire thread last night when I posted... but Weehawken ferry is where the north will be going (I think... correct me if I'm wrong lol)... Brandon, Steve, Paul, Vitali if you want... would it be easiest to meet up somewhere first?

[V]

"wait, i thought i parked here...oh well"

[Savage_Messiah]

Denali? you have one of those? where? I don't remember seeing one in the last car-stripping-cycle or two :lol:

[Pat]

I can practically spit on the Javits Center from here :o


I'll be going, not sure if I can make it at the same time as all of you. Hopefully this year I won't get lost on the way...

sounds good

:w00t: i dont have to drive anywhere!

[BonzoHansen]

i think we should hit up public transportation together. those of us this far south could drive over to point pleasant,
You'd be better off grabbing the train in Metro Park off the Parkway.

This is interesting. I think I am off that day...

[chevyt454]

Yup I take the train over there also. Parking is a mess

[Ian]

Where are you now again?

I think he's in hoboken.

i forgot about Metro Park.........might not be a bad idea, but the parking = teh SUXOR!!!!!!

only bad thing is this is going down on a weekday....parking is gonna suck everywhere!!!!

[slugger27nj]

Woodbridge train station is a direct line to Grand Central in NY. my house isn't too far away and there are some great diners nearby.

Both NJ Transit North Jersey Coastline and Northeast Corridor lines go into Penn Station, not Grand Central. You'll need to walk (west) down 33rd Street once you come out of the station...it's only about 4 or 5 blocks from Penn Station. Maybe a 10 minute walk. I'd like to go with you guys, but I promised myself 2 years ago that I'd never go on a weekend again.:roll:

[V]

we taking the camaro?

[qwikz28]

we taking the camaro?
maybe. i hear theres alot of theft at that parking lot in weehawken and my car is just screaming to get broken into. but the thing is, we're gonna be so in the mood to drive when we get out of there and its gonna be such depression to have to walk back to the saturn

yeah I know, its a tough call. It would be awesome to take the camaro, but if you really feel like its gonna get jacked, the saturn is the way to go. But still, driving back home in the saturn is gonna suck :lol:

[V]

i hear theres alot of theft at that parking lot in weehawken and my car is just screaming to get broken into.

you dont say? hmm. Due to recent info, maybe i wont drive into nyc after all. My Denali will be nice and clean and maybe even have my big 20" Giovanna wheels on it.

[qwikz28]

weehawken isnt in the city, but you're never gonna find parking. i tried that one year and i ended up signing over my soul to the devil for garage parking

[Ian]

yeah, weehawken is right on the jersey side of the holland or lincoln tunnel, I forget which one :lol:

[V]

yea, i know weehawken isnt in the city, i used to go to school in hoboken. id take the ferry over so id park in that lot hopefully, hell i dont care where i park, maybe ill even forget to take the keys with me. That would be bad. lol

*edit* if you havent caught on, i want my truck stolen, lol. oh, even though id never want that to happen cuz that would be horrible. :-)

Lincoln tunnel :-)

[BonzoHansen]

Aren't we talking about 'good friday'? Very light commuting day.

[Savage_Messiah]

maybe. i hear theres alot of theft at that parking lot in weehawken

Really? I've left my car there numerous times... head unit there, radar detector on the dash, subs on the gas tank hump or where the rear seats were, never had a problem :shrug: the lot sucks in terms of the spaces not being too big... but I've never personally had a problem.

Like I said... people going to Weehawken can go to my house and leave their car there for the day if you want, and we can pack in for the 10-15 min ride to the ferry. Your car would be safe in suburbia :lol:

if you take the train into grand central i think it is only like 12-14blocks down to the hudson river and the convention center.

if you guys are goin to the hamilton station, i live less than 2 blocks from it. you can park on the street at my house rather than leaving your car there.

[BonzoHansen]

if you guys are goin to the hamilton station, i live less than 2 blocks from it. you can park on the street at my house rather than leaving your car there.You don’t live on one of the streets they just passed that parking pass law, do you? You know, the law that is supposed to keep the commuter cars off the public streets?

[Tru2Chevy]

I'd be down for going on that day, train from Hamilton sounds good.

[slasherbarb]

[Mike]

You don’t live on one of the streets they just passed that parking pass law, do you? You know, the law that is supposed to keep the commuter cars off the public streets?

[Savage_Messiah]

im probably in...i can miss my comedy class for one day, won't kill me...north people, where we meeting up and what time?

[Pat]

yup. you guys could always park here - worst case if you park on campus is a $15 ticket. Which isn't bad for a day of parking in Hoboken...

[Brando56894]
