Stage 2 or 3 daily... I don't remember which. All you have to do is tell him the numbers you expect to or are putting down and he'll recommend a range.

Lol@without buying a ticket. In due time.

This place is pretty dead these days, huh?

Yup

Plans?

Might be going to this tonight:

Depends on the rain. :ugh2:

I'll post whether or not I'm going later.

The meet was just canceled.

Lol dang. Just confirmed that leak I thought I had. Now to find time to schedule a time and place to get it fixed

That sucks. :shakes head:

Yup

Just dealt with a leak myself, was frustrating as hell. I hate being deployed and having big **** happen while im gone.

As for plans, im still game for a beginning of fall meet up in October sometime if you guys are down, I should be back by then. Seems like most of my posts on here get ignored though.

Lol they don't get ignored. Just people on here barely get together with people in the same city as it is, much less somebody that's been out of the country for half a century. Lol good luck making that happen. I'll subscribe to that. I'm down for whatever

Lol it feels like half a century at this point.

Dont let mr negative get u down...

Lol

I think you're confused with what being a realist is and what being negative is. Look it up.

:shakes head::shakes head::shakes head:

Lol, don't take it personally Kazzan, but he's right. Same ****, day in and day out for months and months. The days start to bleed together.

How about someone officially schedule a meet. There's been nothing but complaints on here for a while now. I'm a short timer (PCS) but I would love to see a better climate here before leave.

Heres what i think is the problem.

I have trigga and ur number tim.

Trigga dont chill with us no more, and u work in a secured space tim.

Vabam and kai i usually end up meeting up with, but i dont have EITHER of their numbers

Its more of just timing when ppl come on the thread and see something. There are times i post lets do something at like 5pm, and get no responses on here the rest of the night.

Just my 2 cents

People just need to go outside. Lol

I post about meets either as soon as someone tells me or if I'm driving around, the MOMENT I see it. Lately I've been stopping at every meet I come across and then immediately posting about it. I stay for 30 minutes or so, look at cars, and if no one responds, I leave.

While it has been entertaining for awhile seeing this group literally fall into nothingness after i spent so long making it into something relevant, I feel like it is time for me to dip my big toe back in here. If nothing comes of it I'll be quite humored but I dare all of you to prove me wrong.

This **** fell apart because none of you are willing to invest the many hours I spent to make those meets happen. Doesn't seem like much to anyone to show up and follow someone on a drive to lunch. Setting up the meet, posting and editing on the forum, re-editing and notifying everyone of a change because so-and-so wanted to go somewhere else other than what I planned out, managing the insufferable questions via text and everything else that goes along with it is taxing and I did it because I cared and believed in this group. I'm only human and could only take so much ****.

I left because no one gave a **** and that is a sign I need to look elsewhere to find new people that are more interested in this very niche art of meets and drives. I felt like you all were interested but seriously lacked the will-power to get off your asses and go somewhere and do something fun. I've set up some pretty great meets and been part of others that y'all were invited to (and no one bothered to show up) that were in excess of 60 cars. Just last Friday Pete (Fish22) met with me and we hit the Sumospeed monthly Night Moves event at the Sportsplex. Literally about 500 cars were in attendance. Tim was able to get off his leash and joined us a while later. We took off for a late dinner and Adrian graced us with his presence at Red Robin after a short, backroad drive to Chesapeake. Pete cried like a bitch when reunited with his beloved Nismo. It was beautiful. But in all seriousness, it was a great night and saw some great cars and surrounded by great people with an equal interest. And none of them acted like ******** at any point. That's the kicker.

I've also set up several meets since June 1st when I dipped out and they've all been a success.

So, if anyone understands what I've said here and what the point of this post is then great. If not, keep doing what you are doing.

I know my schedule for October is literally ****. But if I'm in town for the next Sumospeed Night Moves event, then I will be there. I encourage everyone to go regardless. They have a FB page. Find it and like it. You'll get updates. Also, there was a beautiful 40th with "OH MOLLY" on the plates and it was awfully lonely and surrounded only by shitty stanced Gs and other garbage. Could've used a few friends.

The photographers are pretty damn good too. See below...

In the nearer term... this Saturday is the Williamsburg C&C. If you want to meet up and cruise, depart Starbucks at the usual spot at 6:45am. I'll be stopping for coffee regardless so if I see anyone, great. If not, won't hurt my feelings.

1st Saturday of October will be the VB C&C. You'll likely get your chance to see this in person...

So say what you will about me. Call me an ******* if it makes you feel better. But at least I had only good intentions and tried to include each of you every time.

So there. I've "unofficially" set up three meets in this post for everyone. Who will bother to go to even one?

Lol... Wow.

I don't know about the rest of you guys but I do appreciate John's effort and understand his frustration in getting us organized.

It would be nice if we were better organized. I think the lake of communication between us has been our undoing.

How about this, I could put together a cell # list. I know this was attempted in the past so lets actually make it happen this time. Every one PM me your cell # and then PM everyone the list. We could use the list to put out group texts alerts about events. Of course the list would be updated as necessary. I volunteer to maintain the list until I go back to Japan then I'll pass it on to somebody before I leave.

:iagree:

Meh, tried it. NPC's were ********, quest lines sucked; only good thing was the graphics.

Lol

Ah. I see some things never change. And this is why I left. You have nothing to add. You bitch and moan. And sadly you've got some mindless toadies to follow you. Hilarious.

You left because you wanted to. Period. The day I planned an event you immediately shot it down. Now you're back promoting events ran by the same people that hosted the one I tried to get together. I said "wow" because in the same "breath" that you say you're back to help out you insult the people that at one point you may have considered friends. If ANYONE is down for an event, it's me. I've met almost everyone that posts here and most of them have my number. I've never been disrespectful or rude to anyone here. Not the same can be said for you. Fact of the matter is whenever somebody doesn't fall in line with what you want to do, or how you thought it should go, you throw a tantrum. That's fine. Do you. But I'm an adult, and I prefer the company of other adults. If you want to act like a child and stomp off because you're "hungry", or leave the thread because someone said "thanks for the positive feedback" then by all means, please do. I'm not going to associate myself with someone who doesn't know the value of friendship, and at anytime can completely disrespect the people he's around.

Unlike you, regardless of how many meets I've shown up to solo, or how many times people have cancelled or just not even responded, instill throw the invite out there. Because it's not about "the meet" or the cars. I genuinely enjoy being around the people in this forum. Maybe if you stopped thinking everything revolves around you, you'd see that. But enjoy planning your meets and showing us pictures of cars that if we're lucky we can see in person. Because that's what friends do.

And ill add another wow

Are you really so shallow as to think that anyone wants to go to any meet with you there, while you act like this? Really? YOU are a huge reason I stopped with the meets. You act self righteous, like you can treat people on here any way you please. Not really someone I want to spend the little free time I have with. Not to mention you immediately go on a keyboard crusade every time someone disagrees with you on here.

Its a car group with dudes who just so happen to have bought the same kind of cars. I'm not sure about you, but if I go on a drive with someone its because I enjoy their company; not because I feel obligated to hang out. We do not owe you anything, you chose to spend your time organizing meets; nobody made you. You paint everyone here in a negative light, like we are the ******** you destroyed everything you "made." Don't get me totally wrong, I appreciate the time you put into the few meetings I went to, because I had fun. That's what these meets are supposed to be...fun.

I'm not even slightly interested in getting into the "political" side of this group that you have created. I'm here to hang out, drink a bit, and have fun with people I get along with. But you need a reality check, man. Its a car group; not a political regime. If people don't want to come out, then don't stress it, its not a personal attack on you because people don't feel like going out. You don't know what they have going on in their lives. If you feel no one appreciates it, stop (which you did), and move on with life (you did not); there is no reason to come back and talk **** about how "this **** fell apart."

Sooo since everyone vented out how about we get something going for October :roflpuke2:. If my house isn't sold by then I can have a BBQ then a cruise or whatever later. Just throwing ideas out there.

I'm down

Im thinking the 10th, if everyone is available. Its a Saturday, and I should be back by then. Maybe a cruise to Williamsburg or something? Grab some food and coffee maybe, chill. Im down for whatever because I can guarantee ill just be happy to be eating any food that isn't chow hall haha.

No lie. Deployment life. Your first beer's on me.

The 10th is a good day for me. I'll let the wife know to release the deathgrip that day lol

Second one on me. For me the one thing I appreciate the most coming home is taking a shower without shower shoes :icon17:

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I am looking forward to that first shower lol, and my own bed!

Hopefully, ill have my exhaust by the time I get home so that I can drive with it on with you guys!

Where's my beer at? Lol
