I just want to thank everyone for coming out and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! I'm sorry if anyone was offended by the joke. It really was a harmless meet. We passed by 2 park police and they were just stared admiringly at our cars. They were really cool folks about it. We posed no threat to anyone.
Here are the videos!! If anyone wants a high quality copy of the videos, you can e-mail Jon Marc at jonmarc006@hotmail.com. Once again, thanks for coming! I had a blast!!!
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4 (and the BEST one imo)

That said, this joke is hardly 'payback' for all the things cops have said/done to me in the past. I really have to strain to see how any LEO could take this joke as a slap in the face. If anything, they should feel a sense of accomplishment since so many people are afraid to drive their cars anywhere these days.
making up a pretend story about cops raiding groups of cars and people, incl cuffing them and etc. is not smart. portraying cops as overzealous, esp inaccurately is not smart.
it's also not a super good idea to mock specific PD departments whether it's w/a fictional thread title or otherwise. 'Thanks, XXPD," joke or not, is basically calling them out.
i'm still drained from yesterday, so i can't break things down any further, but the gist of it is that....
it's not prudent to attract unnecessary attention.
you already noted how paranoid people are to drive their modded cars nowadays. why do anything to bring extra 'heat' on us/the scene? if you guys took the time to read between the lines, i think some of you would see and do a few things differently.
i'm not gonna comment any further in here or any of the other associated threads cuz this thing seems to be taking off pretty well on its own.

Nice pics/videos.
I'm not discussing the joke anymore since it really amounts to a hill of beans at the end of the day. We all had a good time, met some new people and thats all thats important.

I dunno, I think we may have offended the gods with our joke... all SF meets will now be BART group rides since we're all clearly doomed from this point out.

... Idiots.
Not only was that prank inconsiderate, who knows what will come of it in the near future. Word spreads fast on the internet, and jokes turn sour quickly.
We i-Clubbers used to have a reputation for being one of the "clean" clubs in the area, but with the actual Wing Stop incident, this prank, and the sheer number of 16-year-olds buying 2nd hand WRX's, I can just taste the trouble coming.
Oh, and Jansen, nothing personal but, were you in on this too?!

We all met today, drove safely and sanely, had a good time and that was that. We didn't **** anyone off, we obeyed speed limits, yielded to pedestrians and all that good stuff. We decided to poke some fun at the paranoia running rampant around here lately, we clearly could have done worse.
I do think its amusing that were being ousted by some for it when we can all benefit from a healthy dose of 'lighten the **** up'.
*Que more paranoia regarding future meets thanks to this joke.*
Anyway, I'm done discussing the joke portion of this ride, I just wanted to go on record saying we behaved as we should and didn't raise as much as an eyebrow from anyone. If every car club behaved as we did today, all the time, there wouldn't be such a thing as import profiling.
Anyway, MOAR PICS!!
