When: Saturday, April 30th start at 11:00am
Where: Kensington Park, Novi (exact lot will be posted the week of the BBQ). The park is one of the nicest metro parks I’ve been to, with a big lake in the center, you can rent canoes, ride bikes etc. We’ll have a football, frisbee and anything other activity (maybe cornhole for you midwesterners).
Who: Pretty much anybody with a Z/G/240 or Nissan/Infiniti is invited as long as you are mature, responsible, and cool to hangout with. We will not tolerate burnouts, revving, etc. You do not have to be a member to come, so feel free to come, bring the family, and meet the group to see what we’re all about.
How: The picnic will be potluck style. Attendees can either bring a food/drink/utensil or chip in a couple bucks (maybe $5? depending on how much you eat lol). I will update this post with a list of who’s bringing what so we don’t have a 20 bottles of soda or something.
Click here and post on our forums if you want to join and what you’ll bring! - greatlakeszclub.com - View topic - Spring BBQ - Saturday, April 30th

Congrats! I graduated in December of 09. What was your major? We may have seen each other in the hallways or had some classes together... Did we just become best friends? Why did you order your G? They didn't have any in the states?

yeah, we may have lol, and I'm a ME as well
I ordered mine because they didn't have a car with all the things i wanted.
They said they could have dealer install the other exterior options, but it would have raised my lease payment quite a bit, due to the labor charge and what not,
and also, I really didn't mind waiting 3 months, gave me time to save money for some mods, and the fact that she is brand spanking new sounded sweet! lol
and then the earthquake/tsunami hit.... which delayed it 2 more months lol
but oh well, it is what it is, i'm a patient person lol

but before my car comes, i'm probably gonna show up to the greatlakeszclub meets, so I may see you there!
