    To add to everything, APD didn't do shit when kids were doing burn outs while I was pulling in (at 10:30AM). I mean dead-center-right-in-front of the cops burnouts.

    If those pics are accurate of mainstream, I would never host another meet ever again.

    What absolute disrespect. You're given free venue and free NOS and your thanks is to trash someone eslses property?

    No wonder the IQ of most of these kids is 12 and they'll be cleaning my toilet when they are older.

    But, two things would go A LONG WAY toward improving the meet IMO

    1) import alliance promoting the meet need to be explicitly clear no burnouts or stuoid behavior is tolerated or you will be thrown out. They also need to stress 1 parking spot per attendant.

    2) spectators need to police their own, if you see someone doing dumb shit, tell them to stop. If they don't, don't be scared to tell someone in authority.

    The problem is the bad apples give the cops this idea that we are all the same. Every Guy who owns a Honda MUST be the ricer burnout douche bag. They won't stop until you reinforce that's not what IA is about.

    Taking up 2-3-4 parking spots with your 1 car is doosh, its rude, its selfish, its disrespectful to other people who paid to park.
    the problem is that they do that shit when they are leaving so you can't kick them out...and you can't gang up on them at that point and threaten them. I made fun of retards all day whilst I sat in my premo parking spot lol.

    I didn't even realize they were kicking people when I left. APD was just starting to roll in as I pulled out....glad I missed the clusterfuck of everyone leaving. With each meet I attend, or have attended, and come to the conclusion that it's gone to shit, I get more and more disappointed by the "scene". Oh well, I need to find something better to do with my time anyway. No more V, the "new" WBs meets have already gone to shit, won't be attending any IA meets again...after this weekend I just really don't care for such things. Wo knows why I keep going to these things...it's probably the few people I actually do get to shoot the shit with about cars...

    I will say the Mainstream meet was pretty chill though.
    Your car looked quite elegant though.

    There will always be trash to cleanup afterwards.. noone ever expects people to leavr with no trash. But compared to the crowd at mainstream the trash was not bad at all. And majority of the folks cleaned up behind themselves. I never leave a hosting place full of trash...and as always the trash is picked up, it is what it is! Mainstream was happy and everyone else was too!

    And to inform people truly why it was closed is because it was closed by the fire marshal because the crowd being 4x what was expected and apd did not have the manpower to let it get bigger, so they had to close.

    Ia was fun to me i enjoyed it, i dont know why you all go to these things thinking it will be a civilized atmosphere.

    Lol. The guy said he wanted a meet for the mature people. I guess since I don't know you that means I'm not invited to your meet though.

    I'm just saying its not realistic to think that you could successfully have a large scale meet with only "mature" people or only "nice" cars...

I meant the quality of cars were irrelevant, meantioning ferraris, r8's, or civics is irrelevant.... It's either the idiots or respectful people.

    im with you on this one. And there were so many toothless people, the crowd itself was just something to look at on its own.

    I don't see people bitching about people doing burnouts and leaving sideways from Caffeine and Octane. Hooligan like behavior is tolerated when the cars are nice I guess.

    For the record I have heard it was the fact they were over capacity not idiots burning out. I wonder if the organizers of IA will post what actually happened on their page (surely the cops told them why they were shutting it down).

    Past IA's we pretty fun when they were at the parking garage and leaving people always lit it up and I never heard complaints then (Cops never stopped it either).

    Oh well hopefully the relocated Charlotte show will be better.

    Don Napier has posted on Facebook (and said at the meet) that it was due to overcapacity.

    I guess it just comes down to people setting examples for others.

    IA the organization hasn't done ANYTHING WRONG, I was just saying they probably could benefit from warning people more (double parking, trash pick up, etc)

    But if they are happy with it, then nothing will change. I mean its not on IA to change the "scenes" behavior, they are there to provide a venue for a meet.

    there is gonna be the element you guys are complaining about at every type of event like this. Shit talkers, crappy cars, unfinished cars, burnouts, d-bags, etc. You can try to stem these type of people from coming but ultimately you can't stop them. All you can do is set an example and keep it moving. I will be attending IA's if I can find the schedule until they stop doing them.

    funny thing was, all the burnouts and "pulls" on the street were 100hp civics, there were 500hp cars I know of that didnt even get to 3k rpms lol.

    I didn't go this year bc I'm riding a stock neon until the end of summer to save money. Hopefully next year when I have something respectable to show and I go to IA(I do plan on going) they will have some more rules laid down to stop the immature BS.

    Lol @ all the bitching and moaning. It's just a meet not a car show.
    People do all the same shit at "VIP meets" it's just a higher caliber of cars.

    You just gotta focus on the good not the Ricers. Meet was good as long as you were in a good mood.

    Sorry this is a Fu king car show.

    I hate that crap, people make fun of 2003 nopi calling that crowd ricers because it was a "car show " but since this is called a "meet" it isn't the same.

    Its a car show without judges

    Wile the last part is true, to me ia is ment to be more of a kick it with friends/make new friends and talk cars n stuff.
    the Ricers have just changed cars that's all. In 03 it was all body kits and revving now it just stock body low and revving.

    I don't do car shows and what nots because I guess I'm apart of the "older" crowd and I'm over dealing stupid ass people. The meet started off ok but went down hill fast. Why the hell were so many people driving their cars around in circles in the parking lot? It's called a parking lot not a driving lot, get you lazy ass out of that rust bucket and walk like the rest of us. I'm not going to go over everything that has been covered already. One thing that I didn't see anyone talk about were the so called "parents" out there. Why the hell did I see so many kids in strollers with no jackets or blankets? Did you retards not look at the weather before you left? You should have found a babysitter or stayed at home. For you people that had kids/infants out there that looked like they were still on the nipple, you should be shot plain and simple.

    I know the last comments had nothing to do with how good the show was but it pissed me off more then any burn out or rev. I guess that's the parent in me.

    You people bitching are idiots. You all are the same people who bitch about it every time and still end up going to it. Boo-hoo.

    Honestly, I doubt I.A could care less if you all don't come or not, the meet keeps getting bigger and bigger every year, and there making good money out of it. The couple people bitching isnt gonna stop them or change anything.

    I drove from Knoxville and had a great time. I guess you all just had your pannys in a wad because no one was paying any attention to your peice of shit.

    Past my bed time? That was a great come back, I bet it took you forever to come up with that one. I applaud you.

    With 6,000 cars do you not expect a couple of people to act like idiots? I mean it would be that way with any car show with any amount of volume.
    I got there at 7:30, parked my car and didnt move all day. Had a great time.


    If you're so sick of the scene why don't you sell your little amazing 90's Honda and get in a car that's actually worth a shit and leave it?

    I would say do it, but you probably couldn't sell you car for enough money to get one. :idb:
