well If people dont enjoy <u>spirited driving in town</u> then dont come out.That is why we don't....in town is the absolute worst place to do it as there is nothing good that can be accomplished by this. All you do is draw attention to the fact that you are living up to the stereotype that has been already projected about us. And you draw the attention of the police.
Maybe you don't give a fuck about tickets, but I do. I like paying under $50/mo for full coverage on 2009 vehicles and there is no way I'm going to let a bunch of dumb fucks mess that up for me.
So, the next time you are "harassed" by an officer because you drive an import, perhaps you should ask yourself "what caused this negative image?"
Until people start driving like responsible people in town, I REFUSE to go on cruises. And to think, we used to be the ones giving the Bosnians shit for driving like that....I guess the current generation of ricers wants to live up to their reputation. Nice work!

I agree with you too chuck, I used to cruise with the group which was fine but there were some times people would drive a lil crazy and I've had people that remembered my truck out of the bunch cut me off or harass me because my truck out of the group sorta sticks out like a sore thumb, so usually when I cruise I do it alone. I've also been almost hit a few times because of it. My truck isn't made to swerve fast and cut people off so best bet for me is to stay away lol. So if anyone wants to just cruise and not try and piss people off hit me up I'm game.

just CRUISING is boring, then all we are is a parade of cars that most people laugh at when we drive by. i like hanging out in the lots and everything but getting on it is way more fun. the parade cruises last WAAAY to long. go from one spot to another is the most they are good for, kmart to TB. TB to tintmasters. other than that its just wasting gas.

The one time I got into a saturday night around-town convoy (this was last summer) a big pile of carts almost rear-ended each other in a train.
As I recall, it was to make the University South -> 32nd Ave West turn. People were in both lanes on Uni and people were divebombing into the turn lane from the far left lane. I was back a little ways and saw this happening and just drove on past. There was a huge amount of brake lockup (lol at shitty cars with non ABS) and a few people who weren't part of the convoy almost got taken out.
I was pretty unimpressed with the quality of driving on display. I have to imagine most people knew that turn was coming..
There is nobody in this town capable of impressing me with their driving on the street. There are a lot of people I'd like to chat with about how they built their cars or what their road course experience is like. You don't accomplish either of those things when out cruising and standing around talking is free, so I vastly prefer the latter.

Couldn't agree more.
I think the last few posts indicate why there isn't as many people cruising as there used to be.

I thought that everyone here like/enjoyed cars as a hobby/sport or way of life for some. so why not cruise around and show off what you like to do. maybe you dont like the way the cruises are nowdays. well start your own cruises and at least come out, cause the scene around here isnt what it used to be. god i remember a shit ton of people meeting at the walmart parking lot like 2 summers ago that was a fun night!

ya goin out to bs with people is fun..and the evo actually gets pretty good gas mileage! but people should still rep what their hobby is..my $.02

I can't afford gas to go waste it driving around all night, but I'm down to show up and BS just about anytime. I'd just as soon chill out and maybe make one lap around town after a little and then go home or to the bar.
