It took you that long? ;) In his defense, I've seen a lot weirder. Hell I'm not so far off myself.

I went.. It was fine for me. Not good or bad. The cruise down was fun but people drive too slow. Frankly I think it's a bad location. Something that big should be in a field isolated from the normal crowd and sonic should bring the food over. either that or people can walk from the field over to sonic to get food or something like that. People probably wouldn't do ricer flyby's in grass.

Sonic meet was .... a let down compared to the years before...just a cluster**** and a handful of worthwhile cars. I drove Angelos STi there and it was just a sea of Subies, Evos and Hondas. I've never been about quantity, and the events I'm partaking or sponsoring in this year have already raised more money than Sonic without even happening yet. Which is sad considering how "big" it got.

I don't understand the charity angle. Maybe I'm heartless but I just don't give a ****. I don't care if it raises 3 cents. If I want to donate to a charity, I will donate cold hard cash. I don't need some organized event donating portions of proceeds with the potential for fuzzy math going on. I donate to things I care about like the EFF and Geohot's defense. I don't know. The charity thing seems like thinly veiled shameless self promotion. It just feels weird to me, like lacking in tact.

As for money raised, Jpalamar what you mean barely any money? $5000 is pretty significant for 1000 people showing up buying food and just hanging out. Any little bit helps people you know. Not trying to sound like I am saying your wrong, if you don't want to go thats up to you, because its your opinion and opinions can't be wrong. Just thought I'd throw some input

Who are you? Should I know you by now? I smell a sales drone. Troll is that you hiding under there?
