Won't be there tomorrow night, I've got other plans.
Anyways, I spoke w/ one of the VW guys last week. Apparently, there was a small group of them parked right next to us and someone had made a remark that they weren't welcome. Honestly, I was disgusted to hear about it and told him that one person's comment does not reflect the opinion of the lot of the group. I'd like to believe that most of us would be accommodating to fellow car enthusiasts.
So, I told them that they're more than welcome to park right next to us Subaru folk. Quite frankly, we're all there for the same reason anyhow. The way I see it, if we treat them courteously they'd be more than willing to oblige and we'd have no worries.
In regards to the police. Well, their presence is well known around this area. Not once have they hassled us and we've had a pretty huge showing the past few weeks. The VW clique has grown in numbers as well and still the police hasn't approached either group. In my opinion, if the police wanted to rain on our parade, they would've done it a long time ago, even if the two car clubs were apart.
Summer is upon us, and I wouldn't be surprised if other car clubs start gathering in that plaza. Let's just chill and keep any negative comments to ourselves and have fun out there.
If anyone has any comments directed to me, shoot me a PM and I'd be more than willing to speak with you in person.
Peace,
Karl
PS... KEEP PACE!

a meet is just a meet, where everyone has some sort of love for cars/bikes..you eat and greet new people..it doesnt matter what kind of car you got as long as your an enthusiast, who cares if they dont own the same make of cars we do..just cause they drive a honda dont mean they dont like suby's/or used to own one..as long as everyone is cool/chill and dont act like a idiot, everything should be ok..happy meetings too all

Wow, it looks like a lot has happened since I've been down there. I'll try to make it out tonight...depending on the homework load. I haven't seen Onizuka in awhile so I'm willing to make the trip.
