I'm gonna be at Prestige on Friday morning b/c of this: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=118259

.

Assuming the problem is rectified and I'm back on the road by the afternoon, it'll be impractical for me to go home then head back out to meet you guys in NJ again. EZ Pass just took out a $45 dent on my credit card . Remember, I'm from NY!

But if it's gonna take most of the day and I'm out later in the day, then I can just hang out at a Barns and Noble somewhere in NJ. Then I can meet up with you guys in the evening.

I swear, I better not hear the words, "we can't find the problem".

Dan, Adrion and Vince, you guys should definitely check your battery box often. The inside of your boot can be bone dry but your battery box could be a swimming pool. Or a nasty toxic cesspool like mine.

Manny, nah, I bet his car doesn't even know what rain is .

What time are you planning to meet and where? I work in North NJ so I might be able to head over after work depending on the time.

We meet at a Starbucks in Linden NJ. It's on Route 1/9 across from a old GM plant. The Starbucks is located in a Home Depot/Target shopping center on the north bound side of Rt. 1/9.

People start trickling in around 6-7pm.

I just checked my battery box, and it seems to be fine, quite dirty, but no water in there. I'm also bringing in my car for service. I can't open the door from the inside, it doesn't unlock when I try opening it. I'm dropping it off Wed. night at Morristown, and picking it up on Thurs. I'm kind of getting tired bringing in my car to fix minor things. If anything should go wrong, I rather it go wrong now while I'm still under the warranty, if not its going to be very expensive.

Yea we need to discuss our plans for going up to PA on Saturday at this meet. I'll be in New Brunswick, so we need to pick a spot where it is good for all of us to meet at a good time to get there nice and early.

The handle didn't act up until this week. And I didn't know the process of fixing it, so I thought might as well bring it to the dealership. If you have time Fri, do you think you can fix it. I have no tools though, so I'm not sure if it is possible. If you could it would save me a trip to Morristown.
