Motorgen Meet and Canyon Cruise December 13, 2008!!!

[SeanPlunk]

This is the monthly Motorgen Meet. After the drama of last month, we've decided to relocate to a restaurant that actually wants us there :) We are meeting at Nick's Burger in Fullerton CA. It is off the 91 Fwy and Brookhurst. The major cross streets are Brookhurst and Orangethorpe. It is about a half mile off the freeway. There is a very large lot direcly across the street that could support hundreds of cars, so that shouldn't be a problem. We are planning to meet at 7:30 p.m. The address for Nick's is:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

After we all get some grub, we are planning to caravan out in a cruise. The cruise will go through Carbon Canyon, down to 71 Fwy, and eventually out to the Mission Inn in Riverside. Here is a map of the entire cruise. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=1712+w+orangethorpe+ave+fullerton+ca+92833&daddr=429+S+Associated+Rd+brea+ca+92821+to:E+Lambe rt+Rd+to:33.982495,-117.710459+to:3649+Mission+Inn+Ave.+Riverside+CA+9 2501&hl=en&geocode=%3B%3BFSWgBQIdxpb5-A%3B%3B&mra=dme&mrcr=1,2&mrsp=3&sz=16&via=2&sll=33.9802,-117.708442&sspn=0.010534,0.022745&ie=UTF8&ll=33.913164,-117.672501&spn=0.412561,0.615234&z=11) The Mission Inn is a historical monument and they go all out with Christmas Decorations and all kinds of stuff. It will be a perfect place to hang out after the cruise before everyone heads home. Here is an article on the Mission Inn so everybody knows what it is. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Inn)

The exact plan is to leave Nick's at about 9:30 p.m. We will hand out copies of directions before we leave (we'll bring plenty this time). From there we will head towards Carbon Canyon. Before hitting the canyon we are going to meet off the freeway at Borders Bookstore in Brea. We are only going to stop for a minute to make sure everyone catches up before we hit the canyon. The address for Borders is:

429 S. Associated Rd
Brea, CA 92821

After everyone catches up we will head through Carbon Canyon. Everyone can go through it at their own pace. :) After the canyon we are going to briefly meet up again at the Carl's Jr. right before the 71 FWY. The address is:

4200 Chino Hills Pkwy #220
Chino Hills, CA 91709

After Carls we will all caravan together down the 71 (at whatever speed you think appropriate) to the 91 where we will head for the final destination of the Mission Inn. The address of the Mission Inn is:

3649 Mission Inn Ave.
Riverside, CA 92501

The whole night should be a lot of fun. We shouldn't have any more problems at the location with the cops, and the cruise should be an awesome time. We learned some lessons since the last cruises so this one actually has stops where everyone can meet up and should be smooth. Here is a link to the thread on Motorgen (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=872), and here is a link to the cruise on our calendar (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1181&day=2008-12-13). If any of you want to register on the site before hand or have any suggestions please let me know. My SN is SeanPlunk on Motorgen, my email is SeanPlunk@gmail.com, and my cell phone # is 714-322-2324. I hope to see you guys all out there - this one will be the best one yet, I promise.

Just to let ya'lls know. Once in downtown Riverside by the Inn it might still be kind of a zoo (even though it'll be like 11:00pm or later by then). Just find a lot or complex around the Inn. Some of the activities like horse cart ride probably won't be going on that late, but the lights will still be on and you can walk around to enjoy the decorations. The Inn is a great place.

Yo Steve, coilovers are done! car needs a little bit more of a drop but it'll have to wait for more time. maybe next saturday or sunday. install time = 7 hours

[SeanPlunk]

I've had some questions about Carbon Canyon being closed because of the fires. Currently it is closed. It sounds like it will be back open in time though. If for some reason it is not open we will come up with an alternate route and post it about a week before the meet.

[07gtpony]

keep us posted

[SeanPlunk]

keep us posted

I will. Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate just in case?

[SeanPlunk]

I saw the thread, but I'm not sure if I'm going or not. It really depends what time. Our cruise is the next week, so I may not do both. I'm too old to be out that late :sm_up_there:

[SeanPlunk]

Sorry we missed you today dude. I've heard that Carbon Canyon is still closed, but can't find confirmation anywhere. Does anyone know what the story is?

[Vettezuki]

It wouldn't be so bad to punt on the canyon bit and even leave a touch earlier, say 9 and go straight to the inn. In that case, you'll still get some of the vendors and maybe horse carriage rides, etc. The canyon and other roads will be open in the future; Christmas at the Inn is limited. Just an idea.

I think people are looking forward to going through the canyon, but it may not matter if it's closed :suicide:. I'm going to map some alternate routes tonight just in case. Aaron is coming by the house and lives in that direction so I'll check the status with him. Sorry this reply is so late - the internet at my house decided it wasn't working yesterday for some reason :rolleyes2:

[silvertermi04]

We can alwasy do 91 to 605 to 405 to beach to PCH up to any of the toll roads and back to the 91. or even from PCH i think u can grab ortega canyon right????

[Vettezuki]

I was in the area and had some time to kill so I drove Carbon Canyon both ways this afternoon. Unless they're closing it at night (and there doesn't appear to be any reason to do so), it's open.

I used to live out there off of Carbon Cayon. Drove it every day and night for years in the early seventys. No cars and full out all the time. Haven't driven it in years -- too many vehicles get in the way. About what I figure will happen Sat. night.:sm_up_there::rolleyes::rolleyes2::rolleyes: :sm_up_there:

[TV8M]

oo how many cars? i want to cruise out the new 135

[Vettezuki]

oo how many cars? i want to cruise out the new 135

I'd say on the order of 75 +- a little. Gas is cheap, so hopefully that helps. :thumbs_up:

[SeanPlunk]

I'm going Sat night and Darlene is going to. I am even going to wash Brutal and maybe Darlene too:laugh:.

:smack:

[Vettezuki]

Yes, you might be right. But, I still want a V8 Hipo vehicle and that could kill them.

But, ripple effect may be too damaging if they fail.:crutches::huh::drink:

Lots of them there foreigners are beginning to make some slick V8 vehicles. Honestly, that Hyundai Genesis is loaded with great features, technology and V8 power at an awesome price. Actually, and I'm part of this, corporations are becoming rapidly more globalized and diversified. There is tons of American talent in engineering and deisn working for foreign based companies. The reality is those corporations are more like international entities now. This is a whole different, fascinating, and occasionally frightening subject. But I digress.

For those of us that want play time with old fashioned V8s and make stupid power, that isn't going anywhere. The aftermarket alone will support it for decades and decades. Or at least until the commie-pinko-hippie-tree-huggers manage to kill all the fun in the world that is. :pot_stir:

[SeanPlunk]

Here is a guide to where we're going. This is the entire route. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=1712+w+orangethorpe+ave+fullerton+ca+92833&daddr=429+S+Associated+Rd+brea+ca+92821+to:E+Lambe rt+Rd+to:33.982495,-117.710459+to:3649+Mission+Inn+Ave.+Riverside+CA+9 2501&hl=en&geocode=%3B%3BFSWgBQIdxpb5-A%3B%3B&mra=dme&mrcr=1,2&mrsp=3&sz=16&via=2&sll=33.9802,-117.708442&sspn=0.010534,0.022745&ie=UTF8&ll=33.913164,-117.672501&spn=0.412561,0.615234&z=11)

Here is a visual guide. I will be handing out a packet with the directions and this information at the meet. It also has my phone number in case anyone gets lost. If anyone has a walkie talkie, please bring it and we can use those to keep in contact as well. If anyone also wants to register at motorgen.com and suggest other routes or suggestions we want to continue running events so that would be excellent. Here is a basic guide on what we're doing. More detailed information can be found in the link above if you want a specific address.

We're meeting at Nick's Burger in Fullerton. Here is what it looks like:

http://www.motorgen.com/pic/data/500/Nick_sBurger.jpg

From Nick's we will be heading from the 91 to the 57 fwy where we are exiting Imperial. From the Imperial off ramp you will go straight and we're going to meet back up at the Borders parking lot. It looks like this:

http://www.motorgen.com/pic/data/500/Borders.jpg

After we all meet at Borders we are going to caravan and go through Carbon Canyon. Once we get through Carbon Canyon we are going to turn right onto Chino Hills Parkway. We will then pull over at the Carl's Jr. in the Chino Hills Marketplace before hitting the 71 fwy. The Carl's will be on the left hand side and looks like this:

http://www.motorgen.com/pic/data/500/carls.jpg

After meeting back up with everyone we'll hit the 71 and head out to Riverside via the 91. Our ultimate goal is the Mission Inn. It'll be on the right hand side and looks like this:

http://www.motorgen.com/pic/data/500/Mission_Inn.jpg

Everyone can take pictures and we can check out all the lights and displays on the grounds. After we finish up we can hit up a Denny's or something if people feel up to some food. We've learned a lot from the last cruises so this should be smooth. We'll have plenty of maps and everything should be simple. I'll see you all there. Hit me up on Motorgen if you have any questions, suggestions or anything else. Thanks!!

Christmas lights and decorations. Lots of them. Unfortunately, it'll be too late when we get there, but there's even horse carriage rides, ice rink (in times passed anyway), etc.

Why not? Cause. Well, it does sound like a "Girlie Man" type thing. But I'm along for the laughs. THERE BETTER BE LAUGHS.:rant:


I like to laugh--even if it's only on the inside.:rolling:

I'm thinking about a format change next month. I'm thinking we should do the cruise before the meet and that way the end location can be where we're having dinner. I think it will be easier to keep people together that way and also if people just want to hang around the show part for a while we won't have to leave. What does everyone think?
