The NEW Sacramento e30 Meet Thread

[JinormusJ]

So I think Sac needs someone to finally step up and say: "We need a Meet DANG IT!"

So, here we have it. I have compiled a list of places we can have this meet, along with, descriptions, food, surrounding areas, "pic"-ability (good area for pictures or no), parking, other-meet traffic, along with pros/cons as footnotes and so on along with addresses of locations of course

The official "meet" does not have to be confined to that one specific area; we can change the meet location as we like, but the main one will be the one with the most votes.



Now, on to the good stuff:

---------------------------------------------
Location #1
---------------------------------------------
Burgers and Brew
---------------------------------------------
1409 R St
Sacramento, CA 95811
---------------------------------------------
Typical high end Burger place; $10 a plate, great food, good beer. Serves primarily burgers, but nothing else is good besides the burgers/salads. Urban environment for the "abandoned" looking photo-op, downtown area allows dynamic shots and relative recreation. Extremely low 5.0. Traffic; lots of parking, low "other meet" turnout: can be made strictly e30/BMW only.
---------------------------------------------
Pros:
Great burgers
Great food
Good desert areas near by
Decent parking
Nice photo shoot area
Central area
Low CHP traffic
Low meet traffic
Secluded
---------------------------------------------
Cons:
Restaurant usually packed: party of 10+ can take upwards to an hour for seating; 15-30 minute wait regularly
A little it away from freeway
Only one place to eat
No dessert places nearby
---------------------------------------------



---------------------------------------------
Location #2
---------------------------------------------
Pleasant Grove Pocket
---------------------------------------------
7451 Foothills Blvd
Roseville, CA 95747
---------------------------------------------
The most diverse of the selections; Pleasant Groces's eatery complex has 5-6 restaurants; sit-down and fast-food, to choose from; Indian, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, you name it, I personally love Los Cabos Grill. $5-15 a meal. Lots of parking, high "other meet" turnout, high 5.0. traffic, but the eatery selection can appeal to anyone's tastes. Usually packed on weekends though be ause of small parking lot
---------------------------------------------
Pros:
Great food
Awesome Selection
Good dessert areas near by
Diverse options
Decent parking
---------------------------------------------
Cons:
Decentralized location
High CHP traffic
High meet traffic
No Photo-op areas
A little bit away from the freeway
---------------------------------------------



---------------------------------------------
Location #3
---------------------------------------------
Galleria Bonanza
---------------------------------------------
1013 Galleria Blvd #200
Roseville, CA 95678
---------------------------------------------
High-end environment for the stunning looking photo-ops, downtown area allows dynamic shots and relative recreation as well as large food selection. Mostly high end sit-down, but some low end areas; $10-$15 a meal typically; Yard House, Dave and Busters, ice cream places central to area. Moderate 5.0. Traffic; lots of parking, low "other meet" turnout: can be made strictly e30/BMW only, but it has high "other car-guy" traffic that may cause trouble.
---------------------------------------------
Pros:
Great food
Diverse food option
Central to 10+ restaurants
Good dessert places
Awesome parking
Nice photo shoot area
Low meet traffic
Close to the freeway
Awesome area to mess around outside of our cars (fireplace, fountains D&B)
---------------------------------------------
Cons:
Decentralized location
Moderate CHP traffic
High enthusiast traffic (the "wrong" kind of enthusiasts)
High end food pricing
---------------------------------------------




---------------------------------------------
Location #4
---------------------------------------------
Bloom Coffee and Tea
---------------------------------------------
1485 Eureka Rd
Roseville, CA 95661
---------------------------------------------
This is the coffee meet, but it is located in an area centralized to many eateries in the parking lot. Urban environment for the grungy looking photo-op; abandoned fields and whatnot. Diverse eatery selections; Sushi, Thai, Greek, Mexican; fairly priced $5-10 a meal with Sushi always 1/2 off. Great coffee place. Low 5.0. Traffic; lots of parking, low "other meet" turnout: can be made strictly e30/BMW only. Lots of non-r3v e30 guys gather ther as well; there are 4-5 regular e30 customers at the coffee shop
---------------------------------------------
Pros:
Great food
Diverse food options
Great parking
Nice photo shoot area
Low CHP traffic
Low meet traffic
Close to the freeway
---------------------------------------------
Cons:
Decentralized location
No dessert places nearby
Somewhat "hipster"
Early closing times of some restaurants (9pm)
---------------------------------------------




---------------------------------------------
Location #5
---------------------------------------------
In-n-Out
---------------------------------------------
3501 Truxel Rd
Sacramento, CA 95834
---------------------------------------------
IT'S IN-N-OUT. Extremely low 5.0. Traffic; low "other meet" turnout: can be made strictly e30/BMW only. Not so much parking though, In-N-Out isn't totally packed, but the area isn't as nice, and there aren't any photo op sessions. Very busy because of the plaza location, but there are plenty of other places to cruise to to make thë meet that much more dynamic
---------------------------------------------
Pros:
Great burgers
Central area
Great parking
Lots of other restaurants
Low CHP traffic
Low meet traffic
Close to the freeway
In-N-Out
---------------------------------------------
Cons:
No Photo-op-able locations
Lots of traffic
---------------------------------------------




That being said, let the voting commence!

Ashley doesnt give,As long as theres a meet she can attend.:)

[JinormusJ]

I'm at Truxel plaza right now; I went ahead and updated my In-N-Out location description. It's actually a nice area. I might just call it early and make a meet happen.

From what I can tell; I'd like to make this something monthly at that In-N-Out every 2nd Saturday of every month or so at like 6. I'm sure we'd find something that'd be able to please most, if not all, of people who'd want to attend

Just gauging interest as of now

[sacbmwdriver]

I like this idea. And keep meeting on a regular basis aha

[phreshkid]

I see where you gave you input on CHP traffic but I have a question. Because CHP's jurisdiction lie on Highways and Freeways, would PD be a more appropriate representation of law enforcement that you can potentially run into while at the meets?

I suppose CHP would be appropriate for traveling to and fro the meets.

[JinormusJ]

I used CHP as shorthand for any Police activity Ryan. I should have specified, but I figured people would understand what I was trying to imply regardless

We use to meet up at the borders in Sac before. Nobody ever gets food at meets anyway.

people here love the food truck meets bc some hungry people can get food and the cops dont care if we are standing around

[Pantless Spency]

yay

[JinormusJ]

I know most of the meets in SoCal had food involved; those were usually the biggest meets besides the established BMW/euro meets that happened consistently.

With all the locations, besides #1; they'll be more of a non-food meet, but there are restaurants nearby where people would be able to grab a quick bite for take out an resume shooting the breeze outside, essentially modeling the SJFT Meets

[gibbsinc]

I'm down for a meet, just hoping i can work something out with my work schedule. Location #1, #5 sound pretty good. As for #5 if we have to drive a bit for photo spots, I'm fine

Nope. I have no family in Yuba. Unless someone moved there and never told me.
