    I was talking to usbseawolf2000 and we are planning for a meet up. We both work in LI, NY. So far we have 3 ppl interested in the meet up. Anybody else interested? What location would you guys prefer?

    I'm in Staten Island and would be very interested in a local meetup. My schedule has been sort of busy, but if I'm around on the day that it is held then I would love to attend. I love those group shots of a row of Prii side by side in a parking lot.

    Would love to have you with us :D Next, we get to decide where we actually want to meet. How about at Dave & Busters?

    Any Stony Brook graduates are welcome to join also.

    Wow, D&B is one of my favorite places. I think I've been to 6 or 7 different ones. And my wife actually likes D&B which means that she'll be along for the ride. I have never been to the Long Island one. Now I'm really excited. They will have to change their slogan. Dave and Busters... Food, Fun and Prius enthusiasts.

    We should ask if we can get discounts if we choose D&B as the official NY Prius meet up place. :D

    Ok! Now we have 5 so far (6 counting Trevor's wife). Do you want to meet up this Sunday? I am getting my Zaino delivery and want to wax it on Saturday :lol:

    JasonW, where are you? I know you live in LI also.

    sunday sounds good to me!
    wow, i'm surprised to see so many of you are SB grads. That's cool!
    Actually, I went back to SB last oct. And I saw a couple of Prii around.

    So which D&B we are going to? There's one in Farmingdale, and there's one in Islandia.

    Bring cameras guys and girls!

    I just saw the meet-up announcement, would love to assist but already have plans for this Sunday with my DW, an all day in Manhattan. Sorry, will be next time. And probably for next meet we can PM to all so we can get properly inform. I got here by coincidence. ;)

    Darn, the wife's family is in town this weekend. Not quite sure that they'll be gone before Sunday, but if they are then I'll be there.

    BTW, I got my Zaino, but there are so many details to the instructions and tips that I'm finding on the web, that it seems like a science project. I washed my car with Dawn and then Zaino Z-2 yesterday. Still have to do the claying thing. I think you need a whole day to handle Zaino when you're starting.

    If this Sunday is not a good date for you guys, I don't mind moving it to next Sunday.

    Ok, let's move it to next week as we are still gaining in number :D. Since Trevor is coming from Staten Island, how about we meet at the Farmingdale D&B. How does it sound?

    April 9th @ 2:00 PM (They open at 11:30)

    Farmingdale D&B

    Did you get Z-1 or ZFX? I did not get the clay thing but got Z-6. I am going to multi-coat it with Z2 and Z6. It'll be a fun project.
    Did you notice a difference after your Z-2? Mine Prius is not even a month yet and I am afraid that I will not see a difference.

    I did not buy the Zaino clay because I heard that their best item. I picked up a kit at pepboys. I got the Z2 with the XFX. I've also had my car less than a month. I had a typo in my last messag.. I just used the Z7 wash on it, not Z2 so far and I think it did a very good job. I think it has some Z2 in it.

    I'm in. April 9th sounds good. Dennis, are you the grand prius poobah for LI?....someone's gotta be in charge of this royal water buffalo & prius club. I'm in Bay Shore, with a black 04, outfitted with the clean pass stickers and my request sent in for the green E-ZPass.

    Clarification: OMyPrius is my co-worker.

    Start a Prius club? Hmm... sounds like a great idea. Let's see how it goes in D&B first :lol:

    For those unfamiliar with Dave & Busters, you can find more information about the place here.

    I got my Clean Pass sticker and used it for the first time today. I used scotch tape because I will be doing Zaino this weekend. It works really well and I will probably use a clear tape next time and keep it that way. This will allow me to add more Zaino layers later on.
