The Nissans used to meet at best buy on dale mabry and i-275, before that, it was a huge parking lot on the northwest corner of bearss and dale mabry (with an applebees in walking distance).

centralized location would help. i don't honestly think there is enough of a mazda community that would show up every month though. it would be nicer if there was, but we're obviously not large like the nissan/ford/honda communities sometimes. i'd be down with a monthly or bi-monthly meet that was small and lasted like 2 or 3 hours, like at 7pm on a saturday night or something. or a friday. just show up and chill and talk, maybe dinner after. otherwise, i would suggest keeping the large bbq style planned meets for either larger groups like big big mazda meets, or have them 2-3 times a year like have a spring one, summer one, and fall one (the holidays are shitty times to have meets, fyi).

maybe need to have a new thread gauging interest on who in this forum is actually active and would think about coming to something every once in a while. i dont mind a smaller group sometimes.

there isn't as much cohesion within mazda because alot of times you have the rotary group and then you have the 'other' cars, and miata group sometimes. everyone gets along but alot of times people don't share knowledge as much as say, a 240 or honda group would because most of their cars involve pretty much shared knowledge. and there isn't enough people to have a specific type of meet.


edit - if we found a current meet that wasn't too ricey and obnoxious, we could start meeting there, and just have our own little group, but still be able to mingle with other cars and such.
