I'd ask for the ignorance to cease but that would involve an act of Congress.

[mieghatch]

yea. its ok to have fun but don't rev your engine with straight pipes an blow someone ear drums. there are other ways to get your car noticed. (make it look better) and park it. but I had a blast. im waiting for more pics. particulary mine. :-)

i stand corrected :) good point but none the less, i personally had a blast. regardless of stupidity

[.blank cd]

Honestly, no one missed anything. This was just a Barrett or Gwinnett meet on a larger scale. It was kinda cool seeing some people you havent seen in about a year. For me it was just a chance to get out of the house and hang out with some friends. I should have expected the typical ricer activity; the burnouts, the bouncing off of the rev limiter, but I gave the people too much credit. One fuckbag in a white 1980's RX7 with "WANKLE" written across the windshield and horribly sprayed white wheels did that very thing, bounced his rev limiter off through his straight pipes while I was standing behind his car. Normally I would have drug him out of the car and had my way with his face, but with police all around, and in the interest of not going to jail for assault on a child, I restrained myself. Some people I've seen on this site who are regular posters here did it too. It may have been because I was in a foul mood to begin with. That will definitely be the last IA Atlanta meet I go to, at least until the hobby that I enjoy becomes less saturated with children with high school mentalities and drivers licenses. Grow the fuck up people. Im fucking embarrassed for this city

Barret or gwinnett meets have what, 30 cars, maybe 100? This event had what, 3000? Same thing my ass. And I don't do stupid ricer shit or condone it, but when you have 3000 or more people in one location there's bound to me some dumbasses, if you didn't expect to see a few idiots then you're one as well. Life's all about taking the good with the bad, accept it and move on.


Very well put.

it wasnt accurate at all

[Bacon]

Rick, you missed the keywords "on a larger scale" and we are aware that ignorance is abound.

I meant to say I agree when I wrote my post; I worded it wrong.

These highlights are what I was agreeing with.

How old are you again?

[black99ls]

Sad to say, I wasn't impressed either. Biggest thing I learned, a parking deck with bad lighting is not a good place for a show. I also hesitate to call it a show, with the fact that 90% of the cars I wanted to get a look at, of course were all locked up/windows up < and of course tinted > in previously stated dark parking deck. Before someone goes off, with some of what I saw walking around, I'd have mine locked /rolled up too..... but that just kinda ruined it for me. I was lucky to have a building close by, that I was able to use their free and secure deck to park in, had to walk over, but alot less hassle IMHO. I do look forward to attending some real shows in the future, but doubt I will waste my time at this one < in this location anyways> ever again.

For your first post, sounds like you were scoping out the cars for reasons other than admiring them.

[black99ls]

For your first post, sounds like you were scoping out the cars for reasons other than admiring them.

Hardly. I'm 44 years old, and have been to ALOT of shows over the years. While I admit I am somewhat new to the import scene, not new to cars. I drive an Integra, and I really wanted to see some nice ones. For instance, one thing I was really interested in seeing up close and personal were some JDM seats < can't seem to fathom in my mind what the fabric actually feels like.... I've been told it is a "microsuede" type feel, but from pics I've seen make it to look rather "coarse". I doubt most people would mind that I copped a feel of their seat fabric. I was also hoping to see a set of REAL <not replica> oem side skirts.... only set I saw were a VERY cracked set of replicas. Most car people look out for other car peoples cars. I would romp on someones ass if they tried anything with your or anyone elses car, so before you go accusing anyone of anything, maybe you should look in the mirror. I have no beef with anyone, and I do know there are people who scope out forums, and shows looking for stuff rather than "admiring" as you put it.
Bottom line, car shows are supposed to be to show, and to meet people, and to share experiences..... someone gets caught doing something they shouldn't, let everybody in the place come down on them.

I wasn't passing judgment, my friend, nor did I mean for my post to sound like that.

That point of view I posted about your post is what some may get coming from someone who was new. No harm, no foul.

[black99ls]

I am new, but it didn't seem like a proper greeting. You're right though, no harm, no foul. Car people should look out for car people. I personally could care less what someone else drives, if it has 4 wheels < in some cases 2 or3> I'm all for it. Everyone has their own style, and I really enjoy seeing it. Although a certain car may look like a POS to some of you, you never know what that person has put into it, or what it may have looked like before.
Bottom line, look out for each other...you may find that they would do the same for you.....

Watching a few guys almost lose it showing off while leaving the garage was pretty entertaining. Lol

agreed , the only time i started my car and revved it , was when i was asked to for video or something.....the ae86 hatch w/ the bike carbs. its kinda loud, but not strait piped.

[Nemesis]

haha highlight of my day was watching the cop get upset for almost no apparent reason that I could see. Sooooooooo many cars though. The Fiat was probably one of my favorites.


Everyone seemed pretty well behaved though from what I can see. If people expect no antics to go on at a large meet like that, thats a bit asking too much lol

Was this when some lady was yelling at a guy in a blue eg hatch? I saw that but didnt know what happend.

The black lady cop? When she went on her little PA and asked for people to move aside, someone yelled something to her. When she stopped the car and jumped out, he turned around and ducked in the crowd. Lol

[Nemesis]

I think so, it was around where the Vuongs Garage cars were. She got all pissed off and pumped the gas a few times pretty hard threatening she was going to shut the "show" down

[thetaste]

I was leaving and some people emerged out of a line of cars and I had to hit the brakes. Maybe I was doing 20mph. Cop walks over and mouths off. I thought for a second about mouthing off myself, but just said "yes sir" and drove away.

+45 reps.

I always try my hardest to put myself in their shoes. Especially if they arent "enthusiasts", they really see meets and get togethers like that in a different light. Also, a lot of "kids" that attend these functions think they can do whatever the hell they want and not respect any form of authority.

Life's all about taking the good with the bad, accept it and move on.

it wasnt accurate at allWhat I described that I saw there was 100% accurate my friend, LOL. If you think that's supposed the "norm" then you're an idiot too. I guess these are the only meets you've ever been to. There's no way I'll stand around and "accept" ass-hattery. I'll call you the fuck out, and/or just not go. Try going to a real car show where there's grown ups, they don't do that shit, and when they do, they get called the fuck out and ejected. I guarantee that there was not a 10 minute period where I didnt hear someone revving there engine, someone doing a burnout, someone blaring their stupid ass train horn, or someones obnixious ass car alarm going off. If you think it should be accepted that these assclowns do the shit they do, then you're part of the problem.

This wasnt a show by any means. The reason everyones windows are tinted and rolled up and locked tight is because you cant trust anyone. Car theft is all too prevalent in this community. The folks that had their windows down were standing very close to their stuff. My shit was locked tight too so i could at least try to enjoy walking around and looking at other cars. Like I said earlier, go to a classics, hot-rod, or exotics "SHOW" everyones windows will be down, hoods will be up, and everyone acts like grown ass adults. Then for shits and giggles ask one of them to start their car and rev it up, or do a burn out or something and see if they dont laugh at you. All you can really call IA was a meeting or gathering of people. Some with similar interests.

[EP3si02]

i agree with a lot of you the constant reving was driving me nuts. i just wished people would have come in find a place to park and stay there. i cant tell you how many times i saw the same cars just doing laps. at one point i walked to the open parking lot to look at a friends car came back and it was nothing but haze from the exhaust fumes that when i decided to leave. I also like how in the picture threads its always the same handful of cars that everyone posts up (congrats to those people your cars are nice) but there were 3000 or so cars there and there are 4 or 5 picture threads with the same handful of cars in every thread. i guess i just find it funny.

[Herblenny]

My 2 cents about going to IA...

It was great to see so many cars in one place.. especially unique as the parking deck..

I know its nearly impossible or maybe possible to organize this but it would of been cooler if cars were organized by models or makes. I had hard time finding specific cars that I saw at day before at either Southrnfresh or at Zen motor..

[Nemesis]

Would be nice to have Import Alliance held at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Plenty of room for vendors and cars!

[RL...]

that would be badass

[whatever210]

lol at some of you. first this was a car meet....not a car show. nopi was a car show. motorsports national was a car show.

if your going to a car meet/show i would expect to hear reving cars cars and burn outs. why would you not expect it. its a CAR meet. to show off cars. who cares who got the attention. the only ones bringing it up are the ones that obviously had nothing better else to do but complain.

i got a idea. how bout not show up to the next one. that would be one less person bitching about cars reving at meets or car shows. then maybe one day there will be no more.

[Nemesis]

haha the meet at mainstream was really quiet, everyone was on their best behaviour. Was weird to say the least lol But the caliber of cars was pretty nice out there to say the least. Maybe there is a correlation ;)

your right i do go expecting it what i was saying i just dont understand why there is the need to do it. and with all of the neon/ flashing led's and gay music blasting it sure as hell felt like i was back at nopi. car show or car meet call it what you want there is no need to let everyone know what your stock turbo sounds like or what your d15 sounds like because no one cares.

The only part I hated is when I was trying to leave and nobody would move the fuck out the way. Standing in the middle and looking at me like I should go around them with cars parked on both sides

[quickdodge®]

your right i do go expecting it what i was saying i just dont understand why there is the need to do it.

There is no need to do it. It's completely immature and uncalled for.

To be honest, and in using common sense, the noises heard there were more deemed for a track setting and not a car meet. If you think these meets are for people blasting exhaust fumes all over the place, then you are probably one of those who did this and maybe should go to Commerce for the next IA meet. Later, QD.

Try going to a real car show where there's grown ups, they don't do that shit, and when they do, they get called the fuck out and ejected. I guarantee that there was not a 10 minute period where I didnt hear someone revving there engine, someone doing a burnout, someone blaring their stupid ass train horn, or someones obnixious ass car alarm going off. If you think it should be accepted that these assclowns do the shit they do, then you're part of the problem.

This wasnt a show by any means. The reason everyones windows are tinted and rolled up and locked tight is because you cant trust anyone. Car theft is all too prevalent in this community. The folks that had their windows down were standing very close to their stuff. My shit was locked tight too so i could at least try to enjoy walking around and looking at other cars. Like I said earlier, go to a classics, hot-rod, or exotics "SHOW" everyones windows will be down, hoods will be up, and everyone acts like grown ass adults. Then for shits and giggles ask one of them to start their car and rev it up, or do a burn out or something and see if they dont laugh at you. All you can really call IA was a meeting or gathering of people. Some with similar interests.

i feel you on the thievery part. i also feel you on a few other points. i can understand if you have a BA motor build with ITB's , etc. and you get asked to start it up and rev it a few times. but the constant bouncing off the rev limiter of mostly stock engines, air horns, bikes, etc. was udderly rediculous. but maybe i too am getting old ....about to turn 30.


My 2 cents about going to IA...

It was great to see so many cars in one place.. especially unique as the parking deck..

I know its nearly impossible or maybe possible to organize this but it would of been cooler if cars were organized by models or makes. I had hard time finding specific cars that I saw at day before at either Southrnfresh or at Zen motor..

yes!!!


haha the meet at mainstream was really quiet, everyone was on their best behaviour. Was weird to say the least lol But the caliber of cars was pretty nice out there to say the least. Maybe there is a correlation ;)

coincidence?........................hardly.

There is no need to do it. It's completely immature and uncalled for.

To be honest, and in using common sense, the noises heard there were more deemed for a track setting and not a car meet. If you think these meets are for people blasting exhaust fumes all over the place, then you are probably one of those who did this and maybe should go to Commerce for the next IA meet. Later, QD.This.

I saw your car there. It was lookin mighty nice. I showed it to my boss and he's in love with it. Lol

[David88vert]

....maybe should go to Commerce for the next IA meet. Later, QD.


NOOOO!!!!!!

Commerce was full of safe, sensible people that were actually running their 8 sec street cars this weekend. I stayed away form IA, and went there instead. Why would you suggest messing that up?????

[whatever210]

Not a problem for me. I like having the ability to hear. Like I said, if being a dumbass is supposed to be expected of this culture, then I have no use for it. I enjoy being an adult with common sense


LOL you trolled that guy hard. I didn't think he'd fall for it!

never did i rev but just a little to let a group know that i was trying to pass through because they obviously couldnt see or ingnored a bright ass red car trying to get through.

but some of you guys act surprised like omg i never thought reving wouldnt happen in a enclosed parking deck....i mean cmon.

[quickdodge®]

You must surprised confused with annoyed. No one was surprised. Just irritated. No one said anything about not expecting it. Later, QD.

In all fairness, there have been a few times Ive seen a car go by that Ive wanted to hear. Or I have driven by and someone has said they wanted to hear my car. Thats a bit different, but the retards revving while just chilling in their car is a bit stupid.

[LIKEG6]

I chilled by my car for the most part. There was a lot if revving going on but I already knew that was going to happen. I enjoyed the meet though and met a couple people.

Like nemesis said the mainstream meet was definitely quieter and I guess had more mature people somewhat.

[smoknlegend]

I liked all the dumbasses going the wrong way around the parking deck, going up the down ramps, with several cars coming at them. Revving is fine, but limit bouncing....i mean come on....

I saw some cars, so i was happy, even though I felt like i was going to die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

[oneSLOWex]

None of the children revved at mainstream because it was out in the open and not like the parking garage where it makes shit louder. Every time someone revved the shit out of their car/bike I was hoping the engine would blow the fuck up...that shit would be hilarious.

[nycclaye]

lots of nice cars guys... Nemisis, I saw your stang, not a stang fan at all, but I'll take your keys anyday bro lol.

if anyone got a shot of my car, lemme know. I only stayed about 2hrs, had to head back down to work. btw, this is mine.

lol thanks man, clean ride you got there yourself

[Bacon]

The only part I hated is when I was trying to leave and nobody would move the fuck out the way. Standing in the middle and looking at me like I should go around them with cars parked on both sides

You call some people out about complaining about all the loud ass revving.......here you are complaining about people not moving out of your way. You someone special that needs a clear right of way or something?

Pot calling the kettle black if you ask me.

It's cool if you want to rev a little but when you do it obnoxiously knowing your car is straight piped with no cat......then it becomes immature and completely not needed. Let's not turn this into a battle of wits. Everyone has a right to their own opinion but don't bash people.

[Axix23]

bad-ass meet hands down. 09, maybe had 600 cars.. last year, about 1000-1500... Quality vs Barrett/BP? lol, no comparison. If it went to AMS, well it will just turn into a nopi nats and cost us alot of money. The fact Don and staff are doing this for us in ATL, we should be grateful.. They aren't out to make a whole lot of money off of this event like Nopi was. The fact is a meet and there is no judging and having to worry about being judged and etc, makes it a whole lot better...

[Bacon]

Personally, I like having it at the parking deck or maybe even indoors. I don't like sweating my ass off walking around for hours like you would at AMS.

I can understand the pricing point on having it at AMS but NOPI got greedy as fuck and every person that was involved in the scene when they were charging around 70 bucks a ticket knows they were.


And if you are sweatin your ass off in 70 degree weather just walkin around lookin at cars, you need to maybe look at workin out a bit lol

[Bacon]

Last year it was hotter than 70ish and humid from the rain.

[Vteckidd]

IA as a business= Success i cant believe that many people showed up. I give props to their marketing team.

IA as a car meet/get together= I could really care less. I saw nothing that impressed me, i stayed for 20 min because my GF had to stop by there for work before we went to the braves game (which by the way was way better entertainment). There was def a fair share of kids revving in the parking garage like OMG I HAVE NEVER HEARD AND EXHAUST BEFORE. but i expected that.

All in all i think if you are still in this scene its a great event and people will have fun. WHat i realized is i really do not give a shit anymore about the car scene and the people in it. But it is still going strong. So thats a plus if you are into it.

We parked next to you at the hotel but never saw you. I saw under your hood at the Barrett meet. Shit is blingin man!

[EG_Ryder]

I think it has outgrown that parking deck (hence the alternative lot) and should be moved to AMS. I don't think they would have to jack prices up since AMS will probably be looking for any kind of income now that there is only one race a year there.

[quickdodge®]

It would suck having it at AMS. Need to find a big ass park to have it. Something scenic. The parking garage is great, but, obviously, too small now. Later, QD.

AMS has events year round. Not just one NASCAR race. AMS is too mainstream and would charge a lot hence the prices of tickets and admission to NOPI.

I know they have little events all year but still not enough to make up for that income lost by the race leaving. NOPI was just being NOPI by charging that much. Why do you think it's only $7 to get into friday night drags, or $5-$7 to get into the gun show there?

[smoknlegend]

I still think we need to do another tunerfest...........

[DA9_Vito]

find a parking lot that holds 3000+ cars lol. or AMS.

[RL...]

actually if it were held outdoors it would probably be rained out every year..sigh ga weather-always rains at the worst time

[Bacon]

The parking lot we were at holds way more than 3000+ cars. We only used half the entire lot.

Honestly not sure how anyone can really complain. Its not a show, its a meet, you pay only $5 and the nickname is "Honda Alliance" so you should have some general expectations. In 3 short years this show size has grown 5 fold and its amazing to see it grow for yourself. Its in Atlanta, where most of us live so that is great, no long drive needed. We took NOPI Nats for granted and its gone, lets not do the same here.

Gotta be honest here with tons of Hondas, modified cars you know some people are going to rev like crazy. Also common sense should tell you it will be loud since its in a parking deck where the noise will echo. So buy some EAR PLUGS and bring them since it can get tiring after awhile.

The meet is not really to drive around in, its to park and walk around. It reminds me of the old club days in Buckhead, most people walked and club hopped and you had some people that just insisted in cruising in their cars then complaining about people walking around.

If you want to see exotics and really incredible cars, wake your butt up to be at Caffiene and Octane at 8am. Otherwise don't be surprised there are none here. Different meets attract different people. Keep your glass half full, I thought it was great to see so many cars and out of towners here pouring money into the local economy and enjoying themselves. The police were pretty damn liberal and people acted pretty good considering there is minimal security there.

I agree there is a lot of crap there and a lot of the same ole same old but there were some different rides here and there like the old school cars, the VIP cars and some people parked their clubs or like cars together. What isn't crap is the ENTHUSIASM, its great to see people, especially young people still be enthused about cars considering gas is $4. I told a bud there that you have to give the Honda guys props for dominating meets and bringing so much enthusiasm that spreads to other brands.

Its great in the parking deck b/c even if its not hot, standing/sitting in the sun for hours can get old. Its great that it is covered and if it rains people would likely still come. It also is a great central location for everyone to come down too.

Great meet!

We enjoyed it !!! Better than anything we have in Augusta, plus it's in a covered garage !!! Might try this here in our area.

On this note, complaints are unnecessary. It was, all around, a fantastic day of chilling out.


We took NOPI Nats for granted and its gone,

This is actually a good thing. This meet here was 100x better than the last decade or so of NAPI shows. They messed themselves up.


Also common sense should tell you it will be loud since its in a parking deck where the noise will echo. So buy some EAR PLUGS and bring them since it can get tiring after awhile.

You're right that people will rev. But the extremes that people were doing it on Sunday were completely unneeded. Common sense should not only tell you that revs will be louder in a parking garage, but it should also tell that to the drivers doing the revving. We shouldn't have to be going out of our way to buy ear plugs. As I stated before, this is a meet, not a dragstrip.



I agree there is a lot of crap there and a lot of the same ole same old but there were some different rides here and there like the old school cars, the VIP cars and some people parked their clubs or like cars together.

Thank you, sir! Lolol.

I would say the parking lot at Turner Field.
Still centrally located, and there is plenty of
scenery around as well.

I figure if there is enough parking there for all the
Braves Fans, then it would be suitable for IA !!!

Also, it was good to say hi to you again QD !!
Now carry on as usual !!!

Completely agree with you. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, I agree the revving constantly is childish and out of line, just saying I knew it would happen anyway :D Thus bring ear plugs. Or hit these people with golf balls :D

I think there are more and more people looking forward to seeing the old school cars. Being a heritage/history kind of guy one has to respect where it all started and it is much rarer to see than most anything else at this meet.

Meet was awesome!

[quickdodge®]

Also, it was good to say hi to you again QD !!

I know this is late, and I missed the huge meet.. but i am curious if there will be another Import Alliance meet in Atlanta at the same location this year, or do i have to wait till next year for that one? and is it held annually in April?

[Axix23]

no, it will be next year..

There is another Import Alliance coming up in Nashville Nov. 13
