Could we be any more pathetic or apathetic??

I scroll down a few times a day to see what going on but there isnt anything new. In fact the only thing even remotely interesting is a friend of mine saw another green SVT up in Keller and got all excited because when I first got the car he didnt think the SVT Contour was a real thing.
 
Look at all branches and the number of threads and posts for each. We are almost dead last but Texas alone is #2 in population. Then add the other 5 states making up South Central branch and doesn't make sense.

The state with population #1 is California. Ironically their threads and posts are almost as low as ours.

:shrug:
 
It is weird to see California not leading the forum but then again this isnt a Mazda. On mx6.com the cali guys made up probably 50% of the activity and they were the ones making fun of the north east and michigan. :)
 
If you've ever lived in the Great Lakes region, you would understand why the regional activity is the way it is. In my 60 mile commute to and back from school everyday, I would often see upwards of 2/3 CSVTs and an abundant CDW27s. It would be a rare day NOT to see a CSVT.

In the year I've been in Lubbock, I've seen only one CSVT (on one occurrence), a silfro, and it looked beat to piss. The only two nearby CEG'ers I am aware of is Cuda up in Amarillo and some guy in Lubbock that sold his contour a few years ago.
 
Yeah it's true the South Central Posts don't get much attention, I know i'm not much help.

Maybe it'll pick up soon. Don't see many CSVT's around, until recently. Just saw a Black one leaving work yesterday, and a Blue one on my to work this morning.

Same here. I would like to see some kind of get together of some sort. Maybe a mini meet in D/FW or something.

I'd be up for anything pretty much anywhere within a 4 hour or so driving radius.

There have been a few attempts at get-togethers, but nothing in recent memory. A quick dinner meet about four years ago just outside New Braunfels is the only thing that immediately comes to mind. I met TXRealtor, Ray and Jenna, and (I believe) Hydramatic for some catfish. Damn good eating! :drool:

Beyond that, it's mostly been meeting up with members to buy parts. Though last summer Cuda came to town and we did our infamous engine-pull-MTX-swap-reinstall-and-two-full-suspension-swaps-in-three-days marathon! :crazy:

It would be fun to have a wrench-in weekend too. Several people pitching in to complete multimple projects on our cars. Could be quite entertaining.

Its always fun to see people working on a car like a pit crew instead of just working slow with a beer yourself.
 
don't start. :p
We have the same problem every region has. Everyone wants to have a meet, but no one will step up and say "here's what we're doing, be at this address at this date/time, if you're not there then tough titties"
:D

I'm considering doing exactly that. Just have to find the time. I have to start preparing the bike for Sturgis, and getting a trailer built for it too. It's hard to find time when I'm only home 5 days out of every 3 weeks.
 
Last year we had a Houston meet and drive to Galveston planned. Then Hurricane Ike hit and killed it.

Before the end of this summer we definitely need to make something happen.
