    Exactly, I can agree that maybe it shouldn't have been posted here in the first place but it is public knowledge, and has been for quite some time. It's not hard to use google...

    This event has been going on for decades in Europe then it made it to the US west coast and eventually migrated east here. The logic is it should have never been posted on a forum where few people have vehicles to attend. Most of those that do are on other websites that advertise it.

    If you don't know about it then how on earth can you google for it?! You can't search for something that you don't know exists lol!

    For as many high-end cars I am around and shoot I didn't know about the meet until a few months ago...then didn't know where it was until I searched for it. If I hadn't seen the photos on FB I wouldn't have even known the meet was going on at all. Then a month or two later the photos started popping up here with everyone asking where it was. It should have never been posted here and nobody should ever post photos of a meet showing a vehicles license plate.

    I just cannot follow where you are trying to go with this. There has been what, a couple cars that you dont approve of? It would be completely different if you drove one of those high end cars, but you dont. And frankly the old guys at the meet rice out in their high end cars more then people do at normal "import" meets. Especially the old guys in their m5's. But the thing is alot of people want to see these cars get on it. It just seems that you are being a little dramatic about pictures of these meets being posted when every single person can attend if they chose too.


    Just mine and a few others

    :facepalm: It's not the cars, it's the people. The people driving through blasting their stereo, the white trash families with kids they don't have control of touching everything that's shiny, the people with bags and purses that have probably never owned a decent car and don't realize they're scratching the shit out of cars as they walk by them. I've seen it all, does that mean they're from IA? No. Is IA going to contribute positively to the event? Highly unlikely.

    What part of the meaning "public knowledge don't you understand"? I've known about his meet for more than a year, have gone a few times, and have never seen any of these ricers you speak of.

    You shouldn't assume everyone here is a ricer and has that mentaility. There are several members here who have very nice cars and act mature. And honestly, the more you bump this thread is another chance for one of the IA ricers to see the thread. Just sayin..I personally could care less if ppl here know about it. They should, why not? The actions of a few ricers here and there doesn't speak for the majority of us car enthusiasts on the site. And just because you may see a ricer, doesn't mean he/she is an IA member or heard about the meet through IA.

    Who are you to speak for the majority of IA? lolol! I've been to hundreds of [IA based] meets and I will safely bet this event is over the maturity level of most of IA's members. Does it mean they shouldn't go? No, simply means it shouldn't be publicized on here in any way what so ever. I've been attending high end exotic and classic car meets since I could walk. IA as a whole has nothing positive to contribute to it, for those members that do will find out about it elsewhere.
