But if you paid $5, that's actually below the amount you need a receipt to claim for taxes. I beleive it's up over $100 that they require receipts. |

I'm all for smoking, big fan here, but I gotta say... Anyone walking around smoking pot in the open, let alone at such a packed environment, is a complete moron and there is no logical explanation to change that.

Where is the receipt from MAW saying thank you for $XXXXXX? I was a member of a club in high school that held yearly charity events and eventually it was discovered that none of the money made it to charity........... |

Ride less = less pain. Is an inverse. :roll: |
Was bummed I got there around 2pm and the majority of cars were already gone... didn't people used to stay at these events much later? I also noticed that were a LOT of scumbags at the meet this year; more than I have seen in the past.

They should have some type of screening for VIP cars.. Half of the cars in the VIP section didn't even belong there. Like the other guy stated im not trying to trash talk anyone's car, but it was ridiculous that cars in OTHER lot across the street had better cars in it. I see VIP cars as gt-r's, supras, clean sti's and evos etc.. not stanced out hondas on stock wheels with paint peeling off..
also we ended up leaving early and telling friends not to even show up, fix some of it and it would be a good meet. |

I'm glad you have such a narrow thought band on what makes a car "VIP". Not to sound like a pompous douche myself, but it honestly looked like my Juke (which aside from being lowered a little bit, looks pretty stock on the outside) seemed to get more attention then those EVOs, STIs, Supra, and R35s. Maybe it was because everyone has seen worked Mk IV Supra, EVOs and STIs (except for that baller ass EVO IV, that thing was so sweet), and R35s are not all that rare to see anymore. Not saying all those cars weren't gorgeous, because God damn they were. What I am saying is that different and unique has a place among those standard VIP cars. I paid my 25$ for VIP parking, and it seemed like peopel really enjoyed looking and talking to me about my Juke. I was completely blown away at the reception my little BattleToad got. Also, to be honest, for every nice STI and EVO I see, I see ones that have been through 5 owners (most likely all kids) and are beat to ****, and are running like crap. |
I dont understand why everyone is freaking out about this stuff. No matter where a meet/show is theres always gonna be dumb people burning out, smoking, and whatever else. In all honesty it wasnt bad at all compared to other shows and stuff ive been to, like FDR.
Lets be honest when the meet was at sonic it was 10x worse. People drifting out of the parking lot and such. That being said had a awesome time at the meet. Looks like next year we need a larger venue haha. |

I will gladly volunteer next year if we agree to put something in place with separated parking lots. Family go getters/TST Tuners/VIP Rides with a $5/$10-15/$25 MINIMUM donation so you're free to give more if you want, and if you do you get like a free TST sticker or something. Also some of this extra money could then go toward a donation to the local PD or hiring a security team, some more bathrooms FFS, and trash cans (yes douches will still be douches and throw trash on the ground but it will be less...)

What if the minivan was owned by someone who's kids are benefiting from the MAW charity which the event was setup to benefit?

At the end of the day, everyone paid to get in and that money went to an awesome cause. I walked through the standard lot twice to see all the cars, and there were some gems in there I felt should have ponied up the 25$ to be in the VIP section but it is what it is. But you can't discriminate against crappy looking cars, and tell them they can't be in the VIP section. |
The money if I'm not mistaken is handed directly to the organization at the end. It's NOT a write off in that respect. It is a DONATION and not a contribution, which would be a write off.
If that's not how it happens, then... That's another can of worms. |
