Topic: Off-Road Expo March 20-22, 2009

New Off-road expo event at the Pomona Fairplex March 20-22, 2009.  Anyone else going?

Has anyone else thought about a "club Xterra representing" for the expo possibly for the fall?  We can contact the other local clubs in NorCal, Nevada, and Arizona, buy a vendor spot on the outside of the Exhibition halls and divide the cost among all those who wish to display their Xterras there.  I think if we put several Xterras on display, we can get the attention of the off-road industry so they can see we're a serious group and make more after-marktet parts avail. for us.  We can group the X's by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations.  How much can it cost for a spot there?  Any thoughts?

interesting to say the least. I dont know what the bylaws say about this though...

Look, I don't come to this forum to "observe by-laws".  I could give a rats ass for them.  I own an Xterra and my personal quest is to make it better, stronger and more dependable.  My background happens to be in import racing.  No one knows how much I personally contributed to bettering the market for the Nissan 240SX, importing parts from Japan, going to SoCal race events, attending car shows, industry shows, club scenes.  I started when everyone was into hondas, no support or parts available for my rice burner.  And now, you see 240SX's everywhere and parts are now overabundant.  I come to this forum to better my Xterra and help others as they have helped me.  I'm simply asking what other people think about featuring our/any Xterra's in an outdoor spot at an offroad show.  Can you imagine the amount of attention it can generate for our market?  Try to be a bit more broad minded and save those comments about by-laws for someone else who care for them...

No offense dude, but your attitude sucks.  Chris just asked a question.

Nice to know you don't give a shit about a part of this club/site that people have worked on for the past nine years.

I enjoyed meeting you and your family on the Rattlesnake Canyon run and I am a little surprised by your response to Fleury's post.  He doesn't deserve it.  And if you truely "could give a rat's ass" for how we do things on this forum and in this club then perhaps this is not the place for you.

[SuperSlideStyle]

Hey, I'm sorry guys.  I'm the one who felt a bit offended by his comment on what I hoped would be a different response.  But I guess I could be wrong, so in light of this, Fleury123, I apologize to you and to anyone who took offense.

I dont think you can make a nissan more dependable. I have owned nissans with over 450K and still going strong. I hope to do the same with my X. 

you know man I didn't notice as I work all the damm time. This is why I seem to be logged in all time. I am all for gaining exposure but what I don't know is as a "club" can we be represented there. As individuals sure . I also believe in the one man cant move a mountain but several can working together.  The ones you pissed off were the board of directors. This is a grassroots club and allot of time and effort has gone into it. Right now this site is sponsored by a members though his own personal site.  Thats all man. His own money for the club. Just a thought thought. We also have some rules about exposure and how we represent the club as a whole. The club is free for everyone who wants to be a member. just like AA , but in this case a hat is not passed. Mostly a wrench or a water.

[fleury123]

so is anyone willing to attend this event to gain exposure. I dont know much about this stuff, but perhaps would go. Might be cool to see some of the toys. I hear they have a rock course at this event that people test thier trucks on. I wont since a long drive prevents breakage.

What I like about this club is its members passions. Obvious to me you both care about this club. BTW My girl got stuck in traffic recently and no one helped her -a few flipped her off until I arrived . I know that everyone on this board are the people who cross the street,grab the hose and make the phone call. I just wish you all lived a little closer. 

[SuperSlideStyle]

Hey, sorry to hear that.  I personally stop and help others if I'm not in a hurry to be somewhere.  You know, karma.  And if the girl is hot, I'll stop the entire freeway!  hahaha
