where does this whole thing take place?

at corporate meguiars, in irvine ca. i think they have a few spots left.

It looks like they limit attendance to about 20 people and make no guarantee that everyone will be able to work on their car since they only have 2 bays. The only Autopian that I know of who is frequently there is "the other PC", but I`m certain there are others.

for this wednesday the space is limit to 15, half if not more will be running late. i know i`ll be there at 5, but like u said, i wanted to know if i`ll acctually have a chance to work on my car, if not, i suppose i`ll sit back and learn.

I`ll be there tonight.



Every week is a bit different, it just depends on who shows up and how much everybody has to do.



The idea is to share the space, give everybody a chance to try stuff out, products, techniques, tools and let you figure out whatever you need to do the whole job when you get home. If the crowd`s small and nobody`s waiting for a slot you can work all you want. On a light night I`ve seen guys spend hours on their car and not even stop for pizza. Most nights you work for a while and then give somebody else a chance.



They have two main bays and can usually (but not always) open up a third. Plus, as long as there`s light out you can pull up in front of the bays and work in the driveway. They have a roll-out awning for when the sun is strong.

I mostly go to hang out. Some guys play poker once a week. I like to wax cars and shoot the breeze with gearheads. I`ll bring something to work on but I don`t really care if I get to or not. I can work at home. It`s fun to check out everybody else`s cars and pitch in if somebody needs a hand. Since it`s an "On the Pulse" night they`ll probably have some videos going on the big screen.



I`m sure you`ll be able to work on your bird bomb.



See`ya there

sounds like a nice place to be tonight.

i wonder if i can just show up without signing up, and just register there up front. just to kick back and extend assistance to who ever needs one.

No, you have to be a member of Meguiar`s Online, and have to sign up in advance (they limit attendance).

I wish I could go !
