USCM.

April 18, 2009 MOCC – Ultimate Santa Clara Meet

img_1660Cruise. Sun. BBQ. Photos. Mazdas. Fun.

USCM was set up by the members of mocc and it was quite successful!! The cruise started off at the parking lot of Costco in Mountain View and from there about 30ish Mazdas pulled out onto 101 > 85 > 9 >17 > Great America.  What a route, right? Poor Roy was screaming to go on Hwy 9, but was falling behind on 17 towards Santa Clara.  A worry I had going into this cruise was keeping up since my car is absolutely the slowest among the pack of Mazdaspeed3s, P5s, MSPs, RX-8s, etc…and it happened!! I rolled in last into the parking lot; the saddest part was losing contact on my radio which has  a 2-mile radius. hah! Oh well, I kept up enough to make it there and even ticked 77k miles during the cruise.  Overall, it was nice having a gathering of Mazdas and seeing everyone’s clean rides.  And the sun…I’ve learned my lesson – sunblock, sunblock, sunblock!

Here are some favorite shots and my gallery on picasa.

This NA was just too cute; it also has the “look” that I would like on Roy – dropped, roll bar, deep dish wheels.

joy ride.

A pleasant day, sans 30-40 mph winds, called for a drive down Hwy 1 and 92 this Sunday with Justin.  We also made a stop at Barbara’s Fish Trap, which probably has the best Clam Chowder I’ve ever had and I’m not even a fan of clams.  Their entree was ok – I had something creamy with bay shrimp, I can’t believe I have to eat that for lunch because it was $22…can’t throw that away, ya know?!

Only car nerds would purposely park like this…and take pictures ^_^;;

Yay! Another meet with MOCC folks, this time at Dave & Busters.  I wasn’t planning on going to this, but in the last minutes I decided to and shoooot it’s far.  Once again it was cold and the company good – was nice to meet unfamiliar faces and see familiar ones again.  Surprisingly, one FD and three Miatas were part of the pack of ten plus 3s and P5s.  Good turn out! See you all at the next *closer* meet!
