As the third atendee I will chime in with all the same comments. Food is great. Monday night football will be no problem as there are a millionTV's in there you cant look anywhere without seeing a huge TV. The food was really good. The atmosphere is fun. (Wingstop is not even in the same leauge.) The waitstaff was entertaining.

The parking area was well lit and plenty of room. No cops as this place falls into kinda a dead zone between Dublin/Pleasanton.

It was great meeting you guys my wife had a great time as well. I tend to be the quiet one.

So next monday lets get more people out there its a great spot and the weather is deffinatly looking up. im in for next week.

I'll definitely give a thumbs up to Buffalo Wild Wings. I've had it a few times out in Vegas, and their wings are pretty good.

Good luck with the meet. If I'm ever in that area on a Monday night, I'll swing by.

Dublin doesn't have cops, we have Sheriffs
and the Sheriffs Office, plus CHP, regional training center, and the jail are just a couple blocks away.

they really don't give a crap about small car club groups standing around their cars. They only care about people causing real problems in our city.

I am extremely well aware of the location of all three. In a former life I trained swat medics, and ERF medics. and Dublin Police may be sherrifs but the second you put on that pretty little dublin PD uniform and drive a Dublin Police car you become a cop in my book.

As soon as there are bigger fish to fry than a bunch off hoodlums in thier ricer cars at wingstop in the tri valley you let me know......

Im just joshin ya man I didnt write the dead zone comment because im up to no good or to imply we would be up to no good . In my experience there is not alot of coverage "see low crime area" around tha spot. That would minimize any un needed unwanted harrassment for our meet.

BTW I really like your nav system I have seen the pictures what brand is it and where did you have it done?

I like it alot. I currently have radio mounted on top, and NON working DVD screen in double din hole. I am going to three guage pod up top and double din DVD/NAV in double din hole. What brand is yours? My fear is most of the ones I have seen in the past slide down to put DVD/CD in and im afraid of fitment issues.

I used to have an AVIC-D3, which I'm now selling https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-classifieds-96/%2Asold%2A-202764/
this is a bit different. I have just the screen in the double din slot, and my computer will be mounted in the trunk.
I don't have a DVD/CD rom since I don't need one for the carputer. All of my music and many movies are on the 320gig hard drive. I transfer them there via wireless network at my house. If I wanted to, I do have a slimline laptop dvd drive that I could put somewhere, but I don't need it.

this is my list (still updating it) of everything I got

You could also go another route and build the computer behind the screen in a box, kinda like the normal systems you'd buy at a car audio shop

I opted to keep my system and screen separate with the system mounted in the trunk, so "just incase" my car does get broken into somewhere, the most they will get is the screen

Your AVIC looks like exactly what I want I will keep my eyes peeled and give you a heads up when I have the moneys If you still have it then im in luck. Having the bypass done is a big plus. Most shops charge $100 to do this. I would have the money begining of june.

Im pretty sure you will have it sold by then but if not you know you at least have a definate buer by June 1
