Prolly will fly into Houston and drive to New Orleans Saturday before Mardi Gras. Every time i visit New Orleans, I'm usually the only Eclipse..actually Mitsubishi in the city..At least somewhat modded. I heard US-51 was shut down, So i dunno where else to look for you guys..Maybe on Haynes?? Whats a good spot to meet up with people and fellow Mitsu owners..I feel so lonely in that Chevy Monte Carlo infested city
im driving in from dallas/tyer where you going to be at? haynes has been taken over by the bikers. as far as the lake front, your going to want to be by where the joes crabshack used to be, i think the kids nowadays are calling it the fountain.
i used to live in new orelans, and i know there is another guy on the site from kenner...i think thats it. ill be driving down the 16 and be there til the 22 i think. ill see where its going down and update you
oh and just wait until you see what the gangsta's are doing with the whips now....
Well My buddies house is in Algiers but I'll probably be around Lee Circle during the parades...Well @ least during Endymion.I know about the Joe's Crab shack spot but most of those people head out to haynes. Last time i came in during New Years, I never seen anyone out there..So I just chilled @ the boat launch off of ClearView and never seen anyone there either
lol thats what i meant buy Monte Carlo infested city..I've seen the Hot Fries car, The Hershey, Cheetos, M&M's car last time i was there...its pretty funny knowing their not even being sponsored by them lmao
I have a 2 friends there, but one rides a bike and the other has a turboed galant, but I havent talked to him in ages...keep me updated so we can meet up...Should be coming n That Friday or Saturday nite during Endymion..I can drink any other day but I wanna see how the car sence is there...havent had "fun" there since before Katrina hit during the good ole Haynes on Sunday night days
LMAO they got a klondyke bar, skittles, and get this! a damn UPS car:noplease:.
yeah bro the good ole days....ah the memories. i have a house on banks a block off of canal so we will probably catch it there. whered your friend go to high school?
i didnt have a chance to talk to my friend but hes in the scene so ill pass on whatever he tells me. i know he said one night everyone meets on clearview by the mobile one. i think its on thursdays. sundays its still the lake but i htink now they are stricter out there. of course you already know to cruise canal, st charles, and if you in metairie, veterans. ill look at my schedule tomorrow at work and ill let you know when we can meet up. pm me your info.
J-rod is in ******* aka Cajun Country...All the funny accents and stereotypes that people up north say we do down south...well most of the true things happen where J-Rod is lol
when you start to get bored of it, thats when u step of your enthusiasm for Mardi Gras and join a parade..I got bored and joined Zulu..Loved every minute of it until the parade fees started to kick my ass becuz of school so i had to quit.
Damn Matt i might join your crew...I lived in Lafayette but my grandmother use to live off banks street So i came to New Orleans on the regular...Basically my seconded home besides Houston. I stop going there when she moved cuz u could never find parking except @ the Excerds or Walgreens down the street if you got lucky when the parade started.
I seen the skittles car actually and the Klondyke car but not the UPS:runaway:..Is there a place where they all meet so i can take pictures and get a good laugh?
Wow feels like I'm writing an A.D.D. response lol, anyways my buddy went to Jesuit(gayness) and the other went to De La Salle..Also know a couple of people from Warren Easton since they were damn near down the street
See I never really lived there to participate in a parade. Zulu ftw
I just drove down every month or so to go visit my 2 best buds one is at LSU and the other was as UNO. <--I guess that is how ya say New Orleans University, she just moved to Lafayette though...boooooooooooo
Well you dont have to live there to actually be in a parade..just have to stay in contact with the person in charge...Some people on my float were from Cali, ATL, South Carolina and some chick from Iowa?
hey AC, cuyo's right. when it starts to get boring, do like emerald and KICK IT UP A NOTCH. try riding in one, it gives you a whole new perspective. i grew up there and i look forward to it EVERY year. i tend to stay away from bourbon during mardi gras though. been there done that and i hate the crowds.
i was one of the crazy painted white guys in Zulu about 3 years ago, it was awesome. A buddy of mine, is the president of finances for the zulu club so i had the hook up on riding and had the privelage of being a guest of honor. i didnt spend a dime. that was my best mardi gras.
i was down for the bayou classic and noticed them staging up on canal by the bridge, on the side heading away from the river. i also see a few of them by jeans poboys in the 7th.
i asked j-rod of he was going and think he said no.

fawker:squint: Actually its kinda crazy..People think Zulu is an all black parade but there are way more whites than any other race..I woke up for the Zulu mardi gras breakfast my first year riding and when i got to the line, i kept thinking to myself, "Is this the Rex parade breakfast line" lol
Fixed!!:bigthumb:
Trust me it is..Mobile's mardi gras sucked major donkey balls and Mardi Gras here in Galveston, you have to pay to get in!! Straight gayness!:ghey:
oh, fyi dont park on the street bro. just pay for parking at a REAL grarage, they are crazier than before katrina and break into everything. and pay to park on someones front yard becasue they wont watch your ride undless you know the folks.
cuyo, i'm not 100% im going to make it for mardi gras. im etting transfer to a new market on the 8th and its unknown if my vacation will work out with there schedules. ill keep you posted but im trying my best
good cuz I'm uncertain myself lol..Trying to do a few mods to my cars and dont know if i will have the cash to make it down there then turn around and go to Austin then back there for a reunion
