so tonight i ventured up to the BP meet with marshall just to see what's going on down there. a few people were out, wasn't suprised that most are down at nopi so it was a small crowd. my observations were as follows:
-every crappy car in the lot had to start their shit just to rev it once and shut it down
-every other crappy car decided it was some kind of good idea to haul ass up and down the lot, even though the cops were hanging around all the time
-if you pop your hood to show a friend new parts or to explain something to someone, you will be challeged to a race by a total POS car, by a group of guys with accents (not the cars ;))
-apparently it's a good idea to carry a cooler of beer in your trunk, and it makes your cool status go 39824389238472397843289x higher when you walk around the lot drinking it in front of everone
-cool factor of 4084504358084350984350983450843x more if you leave your trash on the ground
-if you drive a semi-decent car, it's imperative that you don't know shit about it and just kinda make it up as you go along instead of admitting to not having built the car or just sticking to what you DO know
-if someone lines up a race, you must have an entourage of at least 40 cars to follow along, it must be safer that way or something?
-people in red evos seem to think the lot is their personal playground
-people in silver rsx's also think it's a race course
-POS 4 door civics with an intake must be revved at least a few times before bolting off down the parking lot (of course that's all relative, this one didn't really do much more than make noise)
-guys with stock M3's think their cars are amazing when they go beat a bunch of obviously slower cars
-every car that pulls into the lot must be looked at for a potential race by your clique and commented on how slow they think it really is
now, here's what really pisses me off on this subject... marshall spent a few minutes talking to the gwinnett county police sgt that was sitting there in his car, and the basics of the conversation were that they don't care that people are there, if they would just not leave trash around and not haul ass through the lot. how fucking hard is it to do that? seriously. is it so hard to walk your stupid ass over to the trash can to deposit your 20oz coke bottle into it when you're done with it? is there some kind of laser detection system that will cut you into little itty bitty pieces when you go over there? did i miss the invisible wall between the lot and the trashcan at petco? it's gotta be like a 40 foot walk, i know that's a lot to ask of a bunch of people with a collective IQ of a retarded feline, but it can be done. i literally couldn't count the number of bottles on the ground, foam cups, and worst of all alcohol containers (glass of all things) getting run over in the lot. i would think that at least a few people up there would have enough sense to want to be able to meet there, but i guess common sense is too much to ask for.
btw, when was the last time someone got a trophy for driving fast in a parking lot outside of an auto-x event? i know a few years ago i was doing 65 through walmart, and after i got to the end of the row a hot trophy girl bounded out and handed me a trophy and her number, but i thought that ended a long time ago. i just love the fact that the sgt was circling the lot for an hour, and morons still feel the need to come in and jump on the gas crossing from BP into the petco lot. i honestly wish that was an offense punishable by brute force. the douche in the red evo did that and nearly clipped one of the guys that we were talking to, and at that point i think the recourse should be one quick shot to the nose of the offender from the person he just endangered. then and only then would people possibly have half a thought about their actions before performing such stupidity in front of a live studio audience. alas, even kicking someone's ass as an example wouldn't get anything through the thick skulls of the morons that do that shit.
the moral of my ranting is that the next time you want to bitch about getting kicked out of a meeting spot (one that you know you're not supposed to be at in the first place), think about your surroundings. did you leave trash on the ground? were the usual asshats acting dumb? i'm damn sure that the BP thing won't last much longer if things remain as they are, and that almost saddens me... but i'll be sitting here laughing my ass off when someone posts a complaint about the cops busting meets or hating the police for something they did :D.
