those still are pretty much all that we do. the only problem i have with going to one of those cruises is i don't personally know the people. it's not that i'm aginst meeting new peeps, just i don't know how they are gonna act in public. i believe it has been stated on here many times that we are a club who believes in "positive" driving. not that any of them are bad guys just i have heard some things and i don't think that is the kind of activity i want to be a part of. just my $0.2 but i'll stick with the i-club schedual for cruises. have fun and be safe.

well, skepticism is all fine and dandy, but if you ask any one of our members that regularly attends these cruises what goes on, im sure you'll be quite pleased to know that nothing of consequence actually happens. I'm not the kind of person that endorses, promotes, or otherwise tolerates bad "driving" habits during gatherings such as ours. I actually got burned for doing the frickin speed limit at our last outing by the wonderfully intelligent and hipocritical folks on ForumsHawaii.
You are indeed entitled to "assume" other things occur, but i ask you not to judge us until you "actually" attend one of our functions. After all, its not fair to me, or the rest of us. Considering that I am willing to come out and be the scared chicken at one of your meets, and even volunteer to help with the Meals on Wheels outing just to get to know some of you a little better, i think it would do most of you some good to come out and be social with other clubs.
I'm not going to say we're all saints, and lord knows im far from being "holy" or superior to anyone or anything in existence, but i am a nice guy and i'm as straightforward and blunt as it gets. Bottom line, is that we have fun without doing "bad" things. Matrix Owners is all about family and we all look out for one another. Be it on the forums, or in real life. We stick together and help each other.
I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised "if" you decide to attend. I'm certainly not going to sit here and sugarcoat anything for you... im just telling you like it is.
Happy Motoring!

Plus, I think that the "G-O-T" has narrowed down the clubs that he invites according to their maturity. Seems to me that he goes for the groups that are car enthusiasts rather than stupid asses.
I'll see if I can make it closer to the day of.

it's not that i am assuming anything. i know someone with a matrix and who is on matrixowners and he personally told me of some of the shenanigans that go on. i mean ripping it through a parking lot and saying your warming up your tires for the cruiz? come on man. whether or not that happened idk for sure, i wasn't there. my friend told me this but i have known him for a while and is a good guy. thats not the kind of stuff i want to hear about a guy who's trying to get me to bring my car withing ten miles of his car. who knows, i may come out and see. just be aware of what you do when your on the road.

Then he throws his hands up and basically says "Wat you fakka!".. so i slowed down to 50 and gave him some room. Then he proceeded to speed up, and cut off another of our owners.... brake checking them too..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK now if he cut HIM off while he was going 60...he slowed down to 50 to give the other guy some room............So the guy speed up and cut off another Matrix.........

O yea, i know they were driving 60, cuz i was in the front DRIVING 60 MPH, the owner next to me was pacing me, and all the other 7 were behind me...
So yea, i know how fast they were going
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if the two Matrixes in the front were going 60.....then after he cut HIM off he slowed to give the other guy room............The guy who already cut them off was in front of them........who did he cut off when he SPEED up to cut off the other Matrix? Somebody going faster then 60 perhaps? After all they were all following the posted speed limit right? Or were they?...............Hmmmmmmmmm........
Now going to the Matrix owners site and seeing this.........

Hitting lift in the tunnel? Every 2ZZ driver knows that while at freeway speeds hitting lift will put you past the posted 60MPH speed limit very easily. He even mentions the comabt veteran in his post. So that means the incident happened AFTER the tunnel.
Who wants to agree with me and say that most of them were speeding in the tunnel and pissed off that guy? That's what it seems like to me. Maybe somebody should post this on FH.
I also found some new stuff making them look even more bad......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I guess all of the Matrix owners weren't in back of GOT3 huh?
More fun stuff that makes GOT3 eat his words about them being "responsible" on thier cruises......

well after he brake checked b-rad i decided to go and hunt him down i used the emergency lane to pass b-rad and i was on behind him, i think he was trying to brake check me but i wasnt as close as he wanted me to be. he kept waving his hands up like he was trying to fly or sumthin. i thought it would be funny too so i decided to put my hands outside of the car to and i was like "look everyone no hands, and im doin like 80mph". the idiot then cutoff Stev, and i was like oh shiet time for the tag team action, Stev and i pulled the tandem cut off session on the guy. it was kinda funny cuz as i was passing him his truck was trying so hard to accelerate but the engine sounded like it was gonna croak over. anyways he tried to follow us but took the honolulu cut off. what a loser, but that teaches him dont mess with the 'trixes! stev i got yo back *****!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok no hands doing 80 oh yeah that's not speeding and might I add stupid too?
And he now knows what comming to them......

now i await the inevitable flame from fh damn

And he wonders why a lot of people think he's an idiot. Saying stuff before he finds out what his so called "crew" was doing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those are some facts taken from other Matrix owners about what happened. Maybe he should learn how to manage his own people before he decides to pick and choose who comes out on cruises with them. GOT3 said, "I'm not the kind of person that endorses, promotes, or otherwise tolerates bad "driving" habits during gatherings such as ours." He sure didn't do anything to his fellow Martix owners for that stunt.
Just a little info I've gathered from reading some of the car forums.
