Are you a "car meet" guy?

[lolcantturn]

Do you go to car meets? If no, why not?

[IronFreak]

nope.......car is still on stands.

[agent]

Yes.

[evandael]

i go to car shows. rarely.

i think it's because i don't actually like talking about cars IRL.. except for when i blather on endlessly to my better half.

This. I actually try and avoid as much car talking IRL as possible. I like driving my car, not so much talking about it.

I used to go to them all the time...then I got a wife and 2 kids...I rarely go now although I plan to go to all of the ones by me, it just doesn't happen.

I try this sometimes........after about 2 minutes she glazes over and mentally disengages herself from this world.

.......Thank God for r3v.

i'm lucky in that she will listen and engage in conversation about it and wants to learn. i'm a fortunate guy.. but i still get self-conscious that i'm boring her, so i clam up.


i think i don't like car meets (as opposed to sanctioned shows) because most attendees are total dumbasses and really aren't the crowd i want to hang with.

[lambo]

Meets? Only if they're r3v or BMWCCA sanctioned. Shows, on the other hand, yes. But, only if I have friends going or if they're themed to my liking.

[achtunge30]

I organize meets and attend other meets.
Sometimes they're fun, sometimes they're lame...

I am surprised that there aren't more E30 meets in the tri-state however.

OP - are you talking about car meets or car shows?

Years back there was a contigent of E30 owners from the bay area (BayE30.net anyone?) and they gathered occassionally for a meet just to check out other E30s or to organize a caravan drive to some coastal location. I did a few drives with this group back in the day (Dave Adams, Fred Kim, Chris Lindquist & Co.).....usually around a dozen or so turned out. Good times.

As for car shows....I've been to a few as well, not as fun as going for a drive :)

I agree with achtunge30 but I do still go to a meet in Brooklyn for all euro cars

Ill tell you what sucks that used to be cool is Cars and Coffee
At least around here. I love out of state events as its like a mini vacation to go hang with friends and meet new people.

[E30_Pare]

Used to be a huge fan boy. Now I rarely go, just to chit chat & hang out. Get a bite to eat & catch up with the bros

[Northern]

Used to go to the general car meets, but the ricer crowd has gotten to the point where there are a couple cop cars waiting around for someone to do something stupid every night.

The local bmw crowd has since started going to a different spot thats mostly classic cars and hotrods. Much more mature setting aside from the odd rusted golf or fart can civic.
