SO why do you care so much about a meet that you don't even go to? Its not your meet anymore as far as I can see from going to the past ones, but you did start it, so most of the credit for starting the meet goes to you. DON'T start making rules to a meet that you guys don't even go to. And trust me, just because one person speeds in a Subaru doesn't mean that ALL cops are going to hunt down Subaru's to ticket them. I really can't believe you guys are saying these things, and I've known you for about a year now, its really surprising.
how many people have you heard about in Hondas just pulled over for driving a Honda?
Do you want the same thing to start happening to us around the meet area?

here is the thing guys, you can do whatever you want, its a public place. I am just saying that if you want to keep this spot alive and not worry about cops coming around and start harassing people for driving imports, I would suggest taking our advice and listen to what we have done for the past 2 years to keep this spot cop free
how many other meet spots do you know of that has been around for 2 years ?
name one other meet spot that has NEVER had cops roll through and harass people?
help keep the spot alive

Damn ninja edits. I'm just reading this and seeing you guys get all bent out of shape over nothing, I edited to retract the hypocrit statement, that was over the line. I never saw you in your STI Scott, but I've seen allot of the regulars revving at the light leaving, and also us speeding VERY fast whenever we went to Matt's house, so fast that I found myself driving beyond my abilities, and all I was doing was trying to keep up because I didn't know how to get there. But I understand where you guys are coming from, I just didn't like how you pushed and pushed on the DSM guy about the video and pushed him out of the meet, which I thought was a bit harsh on your part.

I don't want to see the spot die because of people not understanding how the spot works or how its been alive for 2 years with no problems and cops giving us a bad time

The next time you guys test drive an STi or any other moderatly fast car, let's HOPE you don't open the TPS and accelerate past 10%, god forbid you might be accelerating to much and hit a crying baby.
And for the ones that think your 'meet' has gone elsewhere, your meet hasnt gone elsewhere...it had just 'gone'. I went there with my Impreza and saw...4 people with Subis, and a long line of hondas opening their trunks showing off their blue lights. If you want to get preachy to anyone, preach to that line of Vtec boys. Sac DSM isnt about street racing so don't get it twisted. The ones from sac dsm that actually made it there didn't charge in there acting like they own the place, and light up all 4's on the way out. Talk to the subi members that actually 'attended' and you'll see that the mitsus that were there aren't a bad group.
Congratulations on showing those trying to help revive your dead meets and making sure the 'door doesn't hit them on the way out'. I guess thats what happens when you guys stop attending your own meet and lurk on your webboards, you become hungry for any excuse to get on your soap box and tell it.

So who brought all the hondas and DSM's tell me. hmmm.. I wonder...
So why did the SAC DSM crowd decide to move their meets to our natomas spot? There are many places in sac but they all decided to choose our suby meet spot.

If I still lived up in sac, I'd still hit up the saturday meets. Hell I use to go when i was in Tracy. Who do you know goes out from ALLLLL the way over there just to go to hang out.
It's a good meet spot. I just don't want to see if flooded with more cops then are normally there.

Hey, Cohn, please point out a time when you saw me rev at a stoplight. EVER. And please also point out a time when you saw me racing with ANY ONE at any time. Please, I beg of you.
I gaurantee you can't think of a single instance. Know why? I don't do that ****.

Sometimes eventhough you have good intentions, the way that you express yourself can make your intentions be completely lost. The reason I haven't been a jerk about this all is that I can see your good intentions and respect you guys for that. I just ask that you recognize that people aren't going out to this meet with bad intentions. And that you respect us for that. Thats all.

The reason the meets aren't around anymore is because most of the original guys, the people who set up the meets, attended regularly and became friends through them, have gotten married and/or had children and we have other obligations on the weekends. Most of us hang out outside of the meets now. The newer guys just don't seem to be in to the meets, so no one really goes. No big.
Seriously though, don't drive like that in my area please. It would be pretty ****ing unfortunate if you hit and injured someone.

Yeah I know Scott, and I realize you guys value your spot. I see where you guys are coming from, it erks me though when people jump on someones case when there is no reason for it. I think if you all really had a problem with Justin's post, just delete his link (even though it definetly was not street racing). You guys are beating a dead horse about street racing which he wasn't doing in the first place. Someone stated its not welcome there intially and that should have been the end of it.
No one 'invited' sac dsm to Rally's parking lot which Rally's owns-and-not-I-club. I went there with my Impreza and I just happened to own Sacramento-dsm.com. Are you so pretentious and stuckup about your Subaru and meet spot that others with half a sense aren't welcome? Seriously, thats elitous and immature. I wanted to show the mitsu guys (who talk about as much **** as you all do on mitsus) that even though we have our differences, we can be just as civilized. And cops were already at your valued spot before sac dsm even got there, waiting for someone to do something stupid. Tacobell was canceled because the honda and mustang groups would show up and rev the **** out of thier car. So sacdsm had to flee to Roseville. Roseville was cool but out of the way for alot of the members. Rally's parking lot is big enough for everyone.
