DFW hybrid car meet

Wolfman · 10-13-2005, 09:14 AM

Since there has been some interest noted in one of my other threads, I think it would be a great idea to set up a DFW area hybrid meet. I am looking at October 29th as a possible date. As I wish to actually attend this meeting since I'm setting it up, I would like to hold it in Grapevine, so I can stick around as long as possible, before having to report to work late in the afternoon.

There are two Quznos, a Sonic, and a Subway which all have large enough parking areas to hold an event. I am also open to any other possible suggestions for a gathering place. Attendees don't have to be from the DFW area. If yer lookin' for an excuse to take a little trip, then by all means, come on over.

OK I looked at this just to find out what DFW was. OK I figured it out but anyone outside the PNW (Pacific Northwest) who can pronounce the following will get points ( even though we don't have them) Puyallup, Sequim. Willamette. No fair if you lived in the PNW.

GreenLady · 10-14-2005, 10:01 AM

I can pronounce them!

Pew-al-up

Will-am-met (with the emphasis on the last syllable)

I don't know about the third one.

I'm not from the Northwest, but my husband is.

Back to the originally scheduled thread, I live near Grapevine, so a meet up there would be great.

Are you aware of the Dallas Area Prius Meetup Group? We have monthly "meetups" with about 25± people attending and recently we had 13 Prii and one Hybrid Highlander present. Most often, we meet near noon on Saturday or Sunday at a restaurant with adequate parking nearby for a "flock" of Prii. Follow this link for more information:

I checked out the link. Thanx. It looks like your October meet got cancelled? The gathering I'm trying to set up will be open to all hybrid cars, and is was crossposted to the Green Hybrid group as well.

Since nobody has offered any suggestions, I will select Sonic as a meeting place, due to the size of the lot, and the covered patio. It is near the corner of Grapevine Main on Northwest highway. I'll get a link up with a map shortly.

bigbaldcuban · 10-14-2005, 06:09 PM

I'm definitely interested.

The address for the Sonic is:

201 W. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY
GRAPEVINE, TX 76051
(817) 481-2711

I figure on being there from Noon to 3:30. There are two rows of parking that are away from the main building. There is additional parking across the street from the Sonic if needed.

Wolf...know this is the Prius BB but how is the Ford Escape, and what is your actual mileage STOP AND GO, and in TEXAS SUMMER HEAT?? Don't plan on getting rid of the Prius but may consider the Ford for a second Hybrid car, and do you know if you can tow anything with the Escape Hybrid ?? PM me if you want to keep it off the boards or email to ImmanuelA@aol.com

Wolfman · 10-16-2005, 05:27 PM

Yes, the meet is on. There has been enough interest generated in both boards to keep it intact. The date is 10.29/05 from ~ 12:00 to ~15:30, which is the time frame that I intend to be there. I recommend parking away from the building, so we can stay out of the way of the other customers, and be able to park close together.
