slowmo9494 05-26-2009, 01:00 PM Lawrenceville here so Mercer would be prime for me but I would consider a trip to E-Town
Hortonsmedia 05-26-2009, 01:07 PM Florida, So I won't make it but if there's anything being put together around here I'd be happy to get involved.
MakingWaves 05-26-2009, 01:35 PM New Brunswick NJ represent! :wave:

Datboifrm215 05-26-2009, 10:25 PM put me down...ill headed out there...but its an hour drive from here lol but ill go
uhohkaitlina 05-27-2009, 06:22 AM Ooooo the BRUNS!!. I go to Rutgers :).
MakingWaves 05-27-2009, 06:31 AM Ooooo the BRUNS!!. I go to Rutgers :).
Wow! Go R.U.!! :grouphug:
I have just earned a Ph.D in environmental science and meteorology from Rutgers! Lived on the Cook College campus as one big happy family. I ate at Old Man Rafferty's so much that I kept that restaurant in business :lmao: Even jumped out of a plane with the former Rafferty's manager!
I'm sure we have so many stories to share in addition to DA, Kaitlina!! Can't wait!
Dr. Paul
uhohkaitlina 05-27-2009, 06:44 AM NO WAY I AM A METEOROLOGY MAJOR (officially still)
But I am changing because it has caused me to become depressed. I'm reverting back to psychology. Calculus is NOT my area of strength. Oh well, I can still be a storm chaser one day. Robock has told me so, haha.
Hehe.. you'd appreciate this. Straight from my facebook:
MakingWaves 05-27-2009, 07:01 AM You sure you want to change that major? I mean, the weather controls EVERY aspect of our lives and is the number-one topic of conversation wherever we go! It controls what we wear each day, and to keep this on topic, how fast we drive our Accords on the highways, whether we have our windshield wipers on or not, how fast we walk between our Hondas and the Cheesecake Factory entrance at Menlo :lmao:, how often we clean our Accords, and even what days we hit the beach this summer!
I finished 2.5 years of college calculus a while ago, but I agree, it can be rather abstract to those unaccustomed to the field. I add that Dr. Robock is a challenging professor. I had him in a few graduate classes and he was a member of my Ph.D dissertation commitee. He challenged me to learn and appreciate the meteorology field more than I had, and he is an internationally-known scientist too!
My 187 page research project was certainly enough for me. :paranoid:
MakingWaves 05-27-2009, 07:07 AM That's a cool button too!!
These two Facebook pictures are from my recent red carpet experience at the Los Angeles premiere of my new movie. Enjoy!
sy272004 05-27-2009, 07:12 AM here are mine from graduation on thursday

It does bother me because I feel like I am giving up, but I was biting off way more than I could chew. That doesn't mean that I won't continue to study it during my free time (if such a thing exists). It brought down my GPA way to much. And if I had to sit through another chem class ....
Alan is very insightful. He always offered me words of encouragement. I do have to say though that I appreciate Broccoli more as a professor.
Not a fan of 187 page reports.
Oh, and how about Arnesen. Did he help you to "see the big picture?"
And lastly, are you the short one or the tall one :lmao:
uhohkaitlina 05-27-2009, 07:26 AM Congrats on Graduating!!!! :). Ill get there eventually.
Datboifrm215 05-27-2009, 08:44 AM at this meet...are we gonna have a bbq sorta or should what...and is it ok if i invite some of my friends...they drive accords too?prolly like 15-16 people..
sounds like a "bring something to eat something". I'm an ex- owner, so I may sneak in the back when no when is looking/listening :paranoid:

If we meet at the beach, I can imagine a whole line of Accords parked in 20-25 consecutive spaces along the boardwalk!! Imagine how cool a sight that would be!! :thmsup: Especially to all the beachgoers who walk up and down the boardwalk during the day admiring our whips.

MakingWaves 06-05-2009, 12:48 PM Hi Kaitlin!
I am still looking forward to coming to the meet, but I do not know anyone. You and I have very similar backgrounds, being RU students and all!!
I hope I am not the laughingstock of the group, since my Accord was formerly badged as a 745Li. It's a long story, but since that time, I put all of the Honda emblems back on save for one: the steering wheel badge: it is a custom hand-painted BMW badge with clearcoat applied for protection.
Still, at 5.5 years old, my Accord still looks brand-new and I'm proud of that!!
Looking forward to meeting everyone ...

Haha that's sounds good. I live in Edison so that works for mee =]
And on a negative note.. slightly concerned about the weather.
sy272004 06-07-2009, 04:00 PM i checked weather and it says sunny 75 with no rain chance. what weather were you looking at or you dont like sunny?
Gosha 06-07-2009, 10:22 PM i hope it doesnt rain, weather here in PA has been pretty unpredictable, not sure about Jersey.
MakingWaves, i dont know anyone either, i am sure many people dont, so this will be a good chance to meet up and get to know one another
uhohkaitlina 06-08-2009, 06:05 AM i checked weather and it says sunny 75 with no rain chance. what weather were you looking at or you dont like sunny?
Well my iPhone keeps going back and forth between sunny and scattered thunderstorms Stupid iPhone.

Hey were you on the NJ turnpike gonig south yesterday? If so I definitely saw you. Car looked good and clean.
uhohkaitlina 06-08-2009, 07:44 AM Hey were you on the NJ turnpike gonig south yesterday? If so I definitely saw you. Car looked good and clean.
Yes I was! Haha. PMM coupe going the same way?
EDIT: I probably should have just looked at your sig. Body matched door handles looked nice lol. I think I'm dechroming mine. But depends on what wheels I get.
slowmo9494 06-08-2009, 07:50 AM Yes I was! Haha. PMM coupe going the same way?
Yes Ma'am...I was coming from Woodbridge picking up my friend from the train station going back home.
slowmo9494 06-08-2009, 08:02 AM Yes I was! Haha. PMM coupe going the same way?
EDIT: I probably should have just looked at your sig. Body matched door handles looked nice lol. I think I'm dechroming mine. But depends on what wheels I get.
Yeah I switched the handles out about 2 months ago. I certainly like the look of them compared to the chome. It was a cheap mod to do and looks good. I think the chrome trim around the windows is plenty no matter what wheel choice you go with.

I guess. I was bored so I put them on one day. I'll probably take them off one day when I get bored again. Haha.
You comin Sunday? And Woodbridge is in my backyard almost. I'm always there doing something random like getting my nails done or malling it up.

I'm going to try but I can't stay long at all since I have to be in Mt. Laurel by 12:30 for a christening. Yeah I'm up there every so often for shopping, hitting up Jose Tejas, etc.
uhohkaitlina 06-08-2009, 08:23 AM That's right I remember you said that. Get there at 9 I think that's when it's starting or something.
Jose Tejas....yummm.

Yeah and to add to the equation my Mom is coming from out of town to stay with us for the weekend plus I have a flag football playoff game too.
uhohkaitlina 06-08-2009, 08:45 AM Well damn. Quite the busy person aren't you. Well, I hope to see you there!
slowmo9494 06-08-2009, 08:46 AM Hey I was just over at the park yesterday taking my dog to the dog park...where the hell are we meeting at? There are numerous spots to pick from.
Gosha 06-08-2009, 11:47 AM yeah i was wondering the same lol....
ShadowAccord 06-08-2009, 05:01 PM ya it will be a accord maze to find where we are all meeting.........lol........I am guessing we will just have to call each other when we arrive to figure it all out..........I am looking forward to this as well........and I will probably bring some music to....to add to the hype......I have everything from hip hop reggaeton to swing ragtime....to hard rock .....to even reaching some country so its watever people want to listen to ........I am a music collector one of me small hobbies......I will also for some athletic people bring a football and frisbee or somethings like that if people want to play........also is there power outlets near us or so otherwise for music we might have to blast it out of a car or so .....I DK .......

MakingWaves 06-09-2009, 08:14 AM Mike, thanks for the helpful map images on the first posting of this thread.
I see that the lot circled in red is on Paxson Road. Some of us have GPS units which can be programmed as S Post Road as the nearest destination. It would be really helpful to provide directions from S Post Road to the lot on Paxson Road. Is it a simple left turn from S Post onto Paxson and then our lot is about 0.5-1.0 mile up ahead on the left?
I see that our picnic does not have any real desserts to finish off the meal, so I plan to bring about three or four boxes of Entemann's Choc-Chip cookies for everyone.
My name is Dr. Paul! (for my name to the member list haha)
This week is not a good one weatherwise to detail our cars for the meet (Kaitlin would agree), but I'll try my best!!

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I was terrified to drive today because of the storm and my non-bypassed intake. So my brother drove me in. Going to get my car at lunchtime because the flood-threatening rain is supposedly done for. I need this bypass on ASAP.
I'm going to try and wash my car on Saturday and give it a quick waxing. This rain sucks.

Hey it's really easy to get to...when you are on Hughes you make a left into the park (Paxson), you can't miss it as you'll see the Mercer County Park sign, then drive up till you see an opening on your Right for the soccer fields...pull right in.

ShadowAccord 06-09-2009, 10:04 PM hahaha I wonder besides me and mike whose representing the seventh gen coupes any other AV6 out there.................and I will most likely after meeting up with Kait and Dr. Paul some where along 18 or rt 1 will follow them in regards to where paxon road is in the park unless i can borrow my dads navi lol.........my car with the rain got two washes so far this week its really shining lol
MakingWaves 06-10-2009, 05:47 AM Good idea, Jarrod! I can show you how I neatly integrated my aftermarket GPS (Garmin) into my non-nav Gen7 Accord sedan. No problem if you follow me or Kait.
The question is where on Rt 18 or 1 do we meet, and at what suggested time? Do we want to take the NJ Turnpike south to Route 33 West to the park? If we go that route, may I suggest a train of Accords (following each other) that are coming from northern or central NJ? It would be a pleasant surprise to see these Accords of various Gens on the highway!!

Hah! Sounds awesome. I haven't plugged the location into my Garmin yet so I got no idea where I'm going... What exit is Route 33 west off of the Turnpike?... Maybe we can meet at a rest stop or something if such exists when we are on that route.
We could always meet on Rutgers Campus as well.. like at the Sears or something.
MakingWaves 06-10-2009, 06:32 AM I'm open to meeting in the Sears parking lot off of Route 1 South. I think Route 33 West is Exit 8A or 8 on the Turnpike. I need to plug the park location into my Garmin too!!

Yahoo Accord/Rutgers/Garmin buddy!
I am definitely excited..
Now this goes out to everyone. Not really sure how many people are expected to come.. (I see that the official list says 40 some accords are coming, but then there are friends of people coming, boyfriends, girlfriends whatever.) Anyone know how many PEOPLE there will be? I'm just trying to figure out how many soda cans/water bottles I need to pick up. I was figuring like.. 3, 12 can packs of Pepsi, Sprite, Coke.. maybe one or two 12 packs of Route beer?? And then 3 cases of water.
What do you guys think what do you like?
sy272004 06-10-2009, 06:54 AM sounds like good amount
so thats about 48-60 cans of soda. and about same amount of bottles of water.
cherry pepsi if there is choise.
did you check acme(if there is one near you) about that deal
just found that 24pk of 12oz pepsi soft drinks at acme 6.99(same price with coca cola brand)
ill pick up 2 galons of iced tea

I was going to suggest maybe 9:00? Even earlier possibly assuming some people might not get there on time. Not exactly sure how far the park is from Sears, but being that I have the drinks I will want to make sure that I get there on time, if anything a little early.
Datboifrm215 06-10-2009, 07:59 PM any1 coming from south or southwest philly? that wanna meet up? just leave me a pm
Gosha 06-10-2009, 08:43 PM I am confused with the Philly people meet up spot, are we meeting by Roosevelt Mall or are meeting by street rd area? i am confused.

oh also is anything else needed? i was going to grab salsa with me and water but thats covered now... so anything else needed?

Jarrod, I'm good friends with the owner of a local body shop that also does this PDR. This shop specializes in Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris, so I know that my Accord is getting the best kind of service. I have some positive stories to share with you, including an upgrade at this same shop where they installed a 2006 bumper on my 2004 (shown in my avatar).

black out 06-12-2009, 06:39 PM ill b there itll b my first meet :D
MakingWaves 06-12-2009, 07:35 PM It's my first meet too, I got some cookies which Ryan and Kaitlin like!!
I'm getting my car washed tomorrow morning. However, as much as I want to come, it depends on the Sunday morning weather. I wear digital hearing aides which are so sensitive to rainy weather and excessively high humidity, so I cannot be out in the wet weather for long, even under an umbrella. In fact, the insurance company recently dropped coverage on my hearing aides simply because they are more than 7 years old, and I just cannot afford the electronic repairs if the components get damaged by moisture.
So let's hope for sunshine, even clouds at the worst, then I'm ok!!

These Accords were awesome and so are the owners! :thmsup:
I had a great time and hope to see more pics soon.
Unfortunately, I was basically the most "stock," unmodified, car at the meet (except for my cool GPS mount), but I hope it was better than showroom-new condition for its 65K miles!! :notworthy I am certainly proud to be a part of this elite, passionate group.

MakingWaves 06-14-2009, 05:30 PM I think Mike took more pictures, but I'm sure he is also exhausted for the preparations, cooking, and making this one memorable event for all of us! He reminded me that he plans to upload his pictures on Tuesday or Wednesday, so I think patience is warranted here. I should have a lot of patience too ... after all, I am a Doctor!! (Dr. Paul! haha)
I had a great time and actually hit the pillow for two hours because I got home puffed.
It was awesome to meet everyone!! Still beaming here ...
Datboifrm215 06-14-2009, 05:34 PM DR.paul it was nice too meet u man..u are a funny, love the bmw story haha next time we meet you gotta come again!
05AV6 06-14-2009, 05:38 PM I had fun and the second I got home I knocked the hell out. I'm considering going back to bed haha.
Lucky you, it took us over an hour to cross the GWB (2.5 miles in an hour is not cool), so the total drive was like 3 hours home.
Also your from Edison?? LOL, I have tons of family all over there, small damn world.
MakingWaves 06-14-2009, 05:38 PM It was great meeting you too, it seems like u should go into comedy with ur bmw stories ...lol:thmsup:
Thanks K24!! It was nice to meet you too!! Here is another hilarious BMW story:
Now that I am a youth instructor for the NJ State Police, I want to share my first interaction with them about two years ago. During the sunny but chilly afternoon of Christmas Eve 2006 on my way to a Christmas party, there was light traffic as I was merging onto a major highway.
However, before I knew it, the elderly driver in front of me on the on-ramp was slowing down (and nearly stopping) as I was fast accelerating towards her. Once I noticed this car in front of me nearly stopped on a highway on-ramp, I hit the brakes hard and the ABS activated. (It was one of the few times I actually hit the brakes hard, as I don't like the notion of leaving brake dust all over the wheels!) The mapquest directions, laying on my front passenger seat, quickly slid across the leather and onto the passenger floor!
There was no way I could safely reach them as I was driving, so when I merged onto the highway, I immediately pulled off to the shoulder and stopped the car, putting it in Park, and activated my hazard lights momentarily. Before I could reach over to the passenger floor to pick up my directions, a young New Jersey state trooper, with lights flashing, pulls up directly behind me. My mind was racing. Should I unlatch my seatbelt and reach over to get my directions, or should I wait? What is going to go through the mind of the trooper if he sees me through my rear window bending over to the passenger side of the car and struggling to reach something?! HAHAHA
In this case, my mind told me to wait. Good idea. I placed my hands on the top of the steering wheel as waited about a minute or two as he then walked up to the passenger side of the car and lowered his head so he can fully see into my car's interior. With him observing me, I rolled down the window and asked if there was a problem. He saw me stopping on the shoulder of this highway and wanted to know if anything was wrong. I responded by letting him know my directions fell on the floor, and I did not feel comfortable continuing to drive and trying to pick up the papers at the same time.
Before he walked back to his patrol car, I asked him a simple question. "Do you know what kind of car I am driving?" By this time, the trooper had a confused expression on his face as he raised his eyebrows. :paranoid: He then stood straight up and walked to the rear of the car, looked at my trunklid and wheels, returned to the passenger side window and lowered his head (again), momentarily glimpsing the emblem on my steering wheel, and said, "You have a nice BMW here." :thmsup:
I grinned at him and said, "This car is not a BMW! It's a Honda Accord that I rebadged to get other drivers around me smiling! I simply rebadged the car as a BMW 745Li." I was still grinning broadly. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
The trooper's expression was priceless! He was laughing so hard, and my grin turned to laughter too, and he said, "You made my day!" :thmsup:
Gosha 06-14-2009, 05:45 PM Yeah it was great meeting everyone, i wish more people showed up from the original list but there is always next time, it was a good turnout.
Kevin i really liked you car, probably the best overall package from the 7th gens, Mikes car was very nice as well
Kaitlin what time did you guys leave? I think yours was the only car left from the 8th gens when i packed up seeing how not many people stuck around. Talk about all that food haha, guess people werent hungry. It was nice seeing your car in person with the drop, actually makes the stock wheels look better, it will give me some ideas when i decide to drop mine.
I also just crashed after i got home and i so burned up being under that sun, who could have knew it would get that hot. If not for that slight drizzle I think we all could have stayed a little longer, people got scared off for some reason lol

I have made some new friends today!! Amazing day, and I'm sure I speak for everyone too.
Keep me in mind for the next meet, maybe later this summer or early fall, and I'll be happy to come and share more hilarious stories!! My friends actually encouraged me to enter a statewide campus comedy competition (funny students from 22 NJ colleges competed), and I never did stand-up before. I was so thrilled I came in second place behind the winner!!
Even if it's nearly stock, I love my Accord and I hope it showed today!! :banana:
Datboifrm215 06-14-2009, 05:51 PM yeah i couldnt stay that long my girlfriend had to go to work and so did my lido brother so i had to leave. next time hope more 8th gen show up. aleast i was the only sm red 8th there =]

I don't have a recent pic of my car but I was the Silver '06 6 speed coupe 4x4 :paranoid: Haha. I was wearing a black New York hat if that helps at all, name's Bryan. I hope we can all meet up like that again at least a few more times this summer! :thmsup:

True..just figured I'd give a heads up if they didn't see.

You know were probably gonna have to race, also get that J33 up here, and Arie.
Sonnick 06-15-2009, 01:36 PM You know were probably gonna have to race, also get that J33 up here, and Arie.
Yessir..I will have at least 1 more go-fast mod before Honda Day (by next week hopefully)..maybe 2 (not including tires) :naughty: Then again so will you.. :banana:

I don't think Arie wants to race, cause of what happened to his tranny last Honda Day :(
Sonnick 06-15-2009, 07:07 PM I don't think Arie wants to race, cause of what happened to his tranny last Honda Day :(
This is true..that's ok. He should enter the show then if he doesn't end up running his car. Either way, if you do the show we'll setup another day/night to go. If I go one of these Wednesdays soon I'll let you know. I'd love to get there around 8ish when the sun is going down and get a couple of nice runs in. After 9 when it's dark...dare I say 13.7 @102 :biggrin:
ShadowAccord 06-15-2009, 07:49 PM a whole weekend would be interesting.........And I be down for mid August as long as its not to late...........seeing that by that time school be fastly approaching and I have to make that 6 hour trip back to the Burgh.........well hopefully some point in July we will have a beach meet that be fun.......or unless you guys want to plan a trip to Ocean City, NJ for a weekend ha that be interesting............I DK throwing out ideas.......and Kev what navi do u have installed on your car and who did it....I like how it sits flush within the lower cabinet....let me know......
MakingWaves 06-15-2009, 08:13 PM Good idea, Jarrod!! I propose a beach meet along the Belmar NJ boardwalk in July! It's easy to get to for those coming from north or central Jersey and even eastern Pennsylvania. The major interstate, I-195 East, ends in Belmar too. Besides, I'm a lifeguard there and need some guys to keep the girls off of me so I can breathe! haha
What about the 7Gen GPS setup that I showed to you, Jarrod? It's a Kuda leather GPS mount designed specifically for our Accords (www.kudausa.com then click Products), and it's wired directly into the ignition too!! It was a total of about $570 installed, and that price INCLUDES the purchase of the Garmin nav unit.

Dare I say, 13.5s possible for me on a cool crisp night all said and done...who really knows, we will find out this summer though
05AV6 06-15-2009, 08:47 PM a whole weekend would be interesting.........And I be down for mid August as long as its not to late...........seeing that by that time school be fastly approaching and I have to make that 6 hour trip back to the Burgh.........well hopefully some point in July we will have a beach meet that be fun.......or unless you guys want to plan a trip to Ocean City, NJ for a weekend ha that be interesting............I DK throwing out ideas.......and Kev what navi do u have installed on your car and who did it....I like how it sits flush within the lower cabinet....let me know......
It's a Pioneer Avic-D3 (since replaced with a newer model I believe), I used the Honda double-din attachment kit (I have the part number somewhere if you'd like I can try and dig it up., as for the unit, took some work to get it perfect and I trimmed the bezel included by Pioneer. I used a hi-lo converter in to keep the factory head unit on and functioning for Climate Control reasons only (plus it looks like crap if its just off). I also have two 8" TFT monitors in the sunvisors running as output units only for Video, etc. I paid a buddy at a car audio place to lock/disconnect the motion gyro in the unit so the unit doesnt cut out when driving = video all the time :)
ShadowAccord 06-15-2009, 10:44 PM Dr Paul......I thought about your set up but I am looking for something more OEM......that just fits withing the dash itself.......so that means doing something like kev or finding a factory navi system..........I wonder I found a 05 honda accord hybird nav for sale....I wonder if I can integrate it into my 03.......hmmmm.......well after strut and sway still unsure which direction I want to go next either rims......or a navi unit mounted in dash with aux input?? decisions decisions........

I agree that the Kuda GPS mount does not look integrated but it was the best GPS placement solution that resembles OEM.
An alternative solution I almost went with, and later discarded as too complex, was a 7" Pyle screen that fits within the upper information panel of the OEM navigation Accords. You push a button on the top of the screen, which is retracted into the upper info panel, and this screen would motorize out of the slot and flip up. When not in use, you push another button and the process repeats in reverse, and the modification still makes our dashboard look realistically OEM. The only downside was you need a dremel tool to cut away a small portion of the inner vent channels on top of the dashboard in order for the modified upper info panel to fit into our non-nav Accords, and I just didn't want to get my car modified in this manner. As you saw on Sunday, I am proud to have a pretty much stock Accord, fully dealership maintained, and I want to keep it that way. :thmsup:
A fellow DA member (Nexson) created this panel/screen for me (he is excellent with fiberglass and I'm sure that other members can comment on his awesome talents). :notworthy Mine is actually among the last Pyle screens that Nexson personally made for me before the company stopped producing the screens two years ago. Unfortunately, it is still boxed up and sitting on my shelf for the past two years, and I am actually thinking of selling it in the DA classified section soon. I paid Nexson a total of $440 for this unit (which is still brand-new and the shipping box unopened since I'm sure it is protectively and carefully packaged), and I am actually thinking of selling it for $350.
The only question that I have, and other members can chime in, is that I have a 7Gen sedan, and you have a 7Gen coupe. If the upper info panels are the same between the sedan and coupe, then this would also fit in your car, Jarrod. I'll be willing to allow you first dibs on this screen/panel if that is what you are searching for. :yes:
