Yes, sounds like an awesome idea
No, Its impractical
Maybe, depending on the circumstances/rules
I-285 Ride?
I dunno if anyone has thought of this...but how about once a year...maybe in the warmer months of the year, do a I-285 ride?
Like cruise the ring...on a low traffic day....avoiding rush hour.
We can all meet up at one place and cruise to our next destination, no too far off the ring.
Any input/ideas/suggestions would be nice.
Sounds like a bad idea to me. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Why QD? We wouldn't have to run the entire thing....just part of it. I think it would be a good way to show off some rides and get people together on a larger scale....maybe even get the event sponsored.
Then you get people trying to race and shit. Causing all sorts of trouble. Some people can't control themselves. It could be fun, but you can't trust a whole crowd of car enthusiast to behave.
I see your point. Couldn't it be monitored like with bike week?
My only complain with the idea is that it would take too long to lap 285. It might be cool if it was like a 1-2 hour cruise...
do you have any idea how long one time around is? miles, wise.Originally Posted by NissanTun3r
sounds bad to me though. too much lane switching will be going on. people will want to keep up and might cause a wreck. the highway is different than a mountain cruise and what not.

ummm... 285 is only 64 miles
Sounds like a horrible idea.
just reading it sounds like a great idea
but with the given proof def a bad idea...
i agree sounds like a good idea. but then u will get a handful of ppl that is going to wanna race. then ppl are going to be driving crazy and could cause an accident. but none the less sounds like a cool idea. its nothing like a good cruise with a decent amount of cars.

if people could be mature and keep it as a true cruise than sure but i know some people are gonna eventually mess it up and do something stupid.
its only one way to find out. set up a date and see what happens. If it turns out good then maybe it could be something to look foward to. Your never going to know if you dont try it.

Take it from me personally....bad idea. Enough people will want to do stupid shit like race. I got a ticket for doing exactly what you are planning. Now if people kept it at or around the speed limit then cool. There are always a couple of bad apples in the bunch.
yeah..... a duratec 2.5 wouldnt make a full lap around the city anyways
Not anymore it wouldn't as I don't have that car anymore.
best thing to ever happen to you....... get rid of a csvtNot anymore it wouldn't as I don't have that car anymore.
it wasn't that bad of a car. i like the bike more.
i say go for it... hahaha it'll be the biggest pile of rice ever witnessed in one section of freeway in all of history.
no but seriously... it's a shitty idea.

stuff like only seems to work when it's done for a cause (like donating to charity or whatever). then at least you know the ppl that participate will probably be more likely to behave
no good can come from this....trust me
you have to be one lonely hoe.
"man i really feel the need for people to think im cool, maybe if they see me rolling with my crew of badass cars they will notice me"
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
The ring? 285 shouldn't ever be called the "ring."
i like it
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
hah
Sound good to me if its not to crowded!!
The vdubs get together all the time and cruise the highways and side streets. Its really fun when you have cool and down to earth ppl.
I do not see why ppl are bitching about the possibility of ppl acting dumb. If some of the ppl in the cruise started racing or being dumb it would make for good entertainment...I would not be one of those ppl but it's just like why I would go to the riverside meets. Seeing stupid ppl do stupid things in stupid cars is great entertainment! If some ppl act dumb, so be it, it won't affect the ones of us that are driving normal. If they get a ticket or jailed, who cares?
it's called profiling... cops do it all the time. they see one bad egg in the bunch, next thing you know we're all suddenly bad eggs.

Ridin' So Low...
Trust me, I know all about profiling. While they might sit there and think we're up to no good, they can not, and will not pull all of us over...only the idiots. And then we can all laugh at the idiots getting tickets so I see no problem.
id be down. time n day. hope to have tires by then cuz mine are bald
I HAVE 11 DIGITS
i agree. they will follow us or watch us. but they are waiting for the one person to do something stupid and will pull them over. as long as ur not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about.

yeah. from the hwy 10 to I75 its 20+ miles. and its very heavily covered by the 5.0. its ok for clubs and some random meets sure. but not a full site function. because thats just eh!

not true, its called guilty by association. lol. if you are in a group and a few members of that group are doing bad things, you will also pay for it. just saying.

^agreed. im still down with tryin this out. when i use to live in nj ppl use ot do this all the time. travel from the begining of the parkway all the way to atlantic city. and it was meet points at every rest stop where more ppl would tag along. it was pretty fun and cool. it was a cruise for breast cancer though. ill see if i can dig up the pics on when i get home. it was a few ppl that got pulled over for doing stupid stuff but not everybody.

Top Notch crew is trying to plan something just like this.
i think its not such a good idea b/c to many distractions on a hwy such as 285 to be doing pics,no matter your speed, along with a bunch people in a crew to add to the distraction of drivng...just my opinion though as i think its going to take place and soon...
So far it seems like a good number of people are down with it, just as long as they know what they are getting into...we just have to map some stops/meeting places along the way.
I highly suggest this, If you want to do this, definitely bring a friend with you to take all of your pics/videos for you. We don't need anyone getting hurt trying to multitask.
Also, if anyone can think of a cause(I'm thinking Haiti) or any other reason, let me know. I just don't want to ride 'The Ring' for nothing....lol
If anyone else wants to chime in on suggestions, or meet up places, or anything, please feel free to do so.
We should go with Halfwit's idea for a shirt
Riding next to other gay IA'ers is just going to make me want to race someone so I rather just do a hwy pull on a small stretch of hwy (then go home) instead of drive a big circle & waste gas . . .
