December 31, 201213 yr As a member of several Facebook Subaru Enthusiast groups (PNW, SA, SV, ORAWD etc) I see a lot of meets coming and going. I also recommend this site to damn near every new member that has an issue with their Subaru or just wants to see what else is out there. There have been countless meets and greets where usually the Impreza/WRX/LGT etc overpower and dont even notice the old gen sitting there alone... Now its time to get back! I know there are several people out near Portland that would enjoy a meet and greet that was designed for us all to get together and talk about something other than whos BOV is louder... Lets figure out a good time and place. Probably weekends are better for everyone... Mornings? Mid mornings? Portland Members, when giving suggestions of meet places/times, please let me know if you want to invite the newer generation folks, we can keep it specific to just a few that know what a BRAT/GL/DL/GL-10 and Loyale are...
December 31, 201213 yr I say we don't discriminate and anyone would be welcome but let's strongly push all "advertising" or talk about to be an older gen meet. With that said I am into this idea and have a few spots that would be ideal in the Portland metro area but will determine which ones I think are the best before I throw ideas out to everyone. I also think mid morning/afternoon meet would be best on a weekend date. Is this something we want to do continuously, one time or sparatically whenever we feel up for it? Can't wait to hear some feed back and get this going!
December 31, 201213 yr Author I think definitely, as long as its a Subaru it should be allowed to go... but I agree with pushing it as an "Old gen" meet. I think Sporadically would be best too... maybe as often as monthly? or a few times a year, as Im sure the Old Generation population will grow. Think cruises too, everyone seems to love them...
January 1, 201313 yr I'm in! Weekend mornings are better it seems, but lets get something going that is open to any Subie, but with the emphasis on the <94 Crowd. Maybe a run out to Gaston to the Subie graveyard of parts I keep hearing about?
January 1, 201313 yr I am going to suggest that we do a meet and greet get together first and maybe plan a cruise later. Where abouts in Portland is everyone located so we can decide on a pretty central location? I am In SW over in Multnomah Village
January 1, 201313 yr I'd definately be in. I actually work weekends, BUT if we plan it 3-4 weeks out, its no problem getting the day off (especially if its a reoccuring thing, like every 3rd Saturday of the month, or something like that).
January 1, 201313 yr I'm in but I get back into town feb 8th so I might miss the first one. I'm located in NE portland near killingsworth. Will bring my gen1 brat. In fact maybe keeping it simple at first would workout best, say like an albertsons parking lot or similar. meet up for coffee and bull************ about subarus for an hour or so. make connections and swap numbers.

January 1, 201313 yr How does sarurday feb 16th sound? I would be In favor of a 10/11am start but can work with anything. I'd be down for that.
January 2, 201313 yr https://www.facebook.com/events/486500811400504/ nothing is official until its on facebook right?
January 2, 201313 yr How far North would you need it to be? I am pretty open to locations. We could do it somewhere in North Portland..maybe janzten beach area?
January 2, 201313 yr Hey I am definitely about this meet and greet and show where do you guys want to put on the event I can let a few more people know to im picking up two more cars 78 and 79
January 2, 201313 yr Would make it, but gotta work. Next one perhaps! Edited January 2, 201313 yr by subaruman5
January 2, 201313 yr Nice now for locations. Any suggestions? Want it to be at some sort of coffee shop. Maybe somewhere we can grab lunch? Anyone opposed to a side of town? Give me feed back I know we can't please everyone but I will sure as hell try!
January 2, 201313 yr Coffee place would be great if its an am meet and greet. I am down for whatever, but prefer westside if possible. Maybe Krispy Kreme over on Cornell?
January 2, 201313 yr Jantzen, jubitz, mlk, somewhere north portland would be killer. I joined that dang ol facebook page as well. looking forward to it.
January 6, 201313 yr So I am thinking Jubitz suggestion would be a good location to help accommodate those coming in from Washington. Jubitz Travel Center 33 Northeast Middlefield Road Portland, OR 97211 It will have plenty of parking and we can grab coffee or snacks while we get together. Sound good?
