Factory MOD 07'... Sept 8th... Normal, IL
Lily03- I was not at the meet, but plus one for you driving how you want to. Forget what they are all saying about you being reckless and speeding. You chose to speed and I know you would have accepted the consequences accordingly if you were caught. And secondly, i would have been right next to you... maybe :P
just for the record sly, i didn't even end up getting to lead my own convoy i set up. and yes there was a lot of speeding, but what some forget to mention is that we had to deal with a great deal of traffic and construction which also caused our group to be broken up several times. so before anyone else points out that a convoy should stick together, it was pretty much freaking impossible with how things happened. right from the begining when we left AMS a crap load of traffic broke up our convoy. also the fact that some of us had ipasses and some didn't and had to wait in one or two lane tolls to pay cash. then dealing with the construction it was pretty much impossible for our convoy to stick together. even if we would have slowed down someone else probably would have gotten cocky and started speeding off. plus i doubt we could get any slower then we did. everyone drives differently too, so what they choose to do is their own choice.
and as far as the going in and out of cones, i don't see how going in and out of cones at like 5 or 10mph is reckless? yes if we would have got caught by a cop it'd be considered reckless driving. but how is that reckless when where in bumper to bumper construction zone goin 5 to 10mph (top).
also we really didn't start driving that fast till we were on I-55 with lots of clear road ahead of all of us. and when we were around other traffic we were careful of who was around us. yes anything is possible despite a persons driving skill, but as i told lancer7 we didn't force anyone to speed or go in and outta cones while stuck in traffic.

its a wonder why i get pulled over for nothing. i have never gotten a ticket of any sort but i get pulled over quit often. profiling is a ***** but there is a reason for it(just read above posts.)
i see people die everyday because they think they know how to drive.
moderators i think its time this thread gets closed. this pointless crap of nagging on each other and everything else is outta hand to me and i'm sick of reading it all, when all i wanna do is see what other people have to say, other then complaining about the driving aka speeding. personally i don't believe i'll be posting much more on evom because of this nonsense, some of us just tried to have a lil fun and all we do is get hated on. reakless or stupid, it was our own damn choice, so its whatever. i'll also think twice about posting anything about MOD next year. someone else can take that on and get *****ed at later on. so if you can close this thread i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks!

come on, you can't take anyone too seriously on a forum. people are so much more critical in places like this because they're protected by anonymity. Don't take anything personally
we all choose to do what we do. but u have to accept the consequence of the choices u make. whither it is getting trashed on a message board, receiving a ticket, or doing life for vehicular manslaughter. its all relative. i just don't want to be dead in a ditch because u wanted to blow by me at 100+. so i will accept the consequents of choosing who i roll with.
i used to roll with tons of fast and reckless (including me) drivers back in the day in southern California. i have seen a few of my fellow crew die because of it. i have learned the hard way.(spent some quality time in the hospital following a bogus move by a retarded driver.) and i guess some people here will have to also. i just don't want to be next to u when u decide to learn that lesson.
good luck to u and hope u all survive it.

yea uhhh maybe u should just stop typing now. there are way too many things i wanna get into and dont really have the energy. just leave it be and talk about something else. the people that want to drive sanely and responsibly are going to do that and convoy together and the ones that want to be a danger to society and give the industry a bad image will do so regardless. pick ur side.

and i'm not picking a freaking side, because i understand where you and lancer7 are coming from. but you guys need to accept is i can't control what other people do. a guy from ams lead out the convoy from AMS and his along with an evo just took off. all i did was tried keeping up because they changed the route we were taking to try and catch up with the vans and trailers from AMS. okay i know a lot of people that have gotten hurt from stupid ****, and i know how dangerous what some of us did. but as i've stated before no one was forced to speed. they did it on there own free freaking will!
next yr i'll just fly solo because as i mentioned to don't try and run, even if i try to plan something for next year i'm sure no one is going to want to be involved because of how outta hand and nasty this all has gotten. i guess i can't accomplish trying to help host a pre-event or a convoy. so why try next year. no one will show to go out in the convoy so i don't even matter.
this thread just needs to be closed so all this bs can end.

i'm done trying to justify myself in any way to anyone. i know what i did, and whatever would have happened i would have taken responibity for.... at least i can say that much for myself. and people can trash me all they want now, because i guess i just don't care. if i keep my evom account will be a miracle, because yeah know i don't think i deserve to be the only one that gets torn a new ***-hole for driving fast. i wasn't the only one, but i sure am the only one getting torn apart on my own damn freaking thread i started. so i just don't care. maybe i'll keep my account for my friends in ne, least they give to craps about me, and know how i drive is my own responsibility to deal with and don't treat me like crap over it.

we all have our moments or fast driving. its how and where it is done. and thats not the problem.
its just the image that is portrayed while in a group. ur not the only one but why contribute. u cant complain about profiling when u are contributing to the reason why u are being profiled. thats why its done. in this case the profiling com would be correct in assuming that an Asian in a import is doing something stupid. i know its harsh but its true.
i (we)didn't single u out. u singled yourself out. i just voiced my opinion on why i didn't convoy from AMS. i knew better and made my own choice. i have no problem with anyone wanting to drive careless and killing themselves. i just want to be somewhere else when they do.
i hope u don't leave the board. we like ya. we need a little drama around here.
Anyway. how about that awesome tour we got of the HOT mitsu plant.

IF YOU GUYS WANT TO ARGUE, SAVE IT FOR A PM!!!! this thread shouldnt be closed down because of some people who cant control themselves.
I have a desire to keep this thread open and the other one to find out more info about the documentaries or pictures from it...

Word, point was made. Some people will listen to the advice and some may not. If opinions haven't changed by now, They're probably not going to. It's too bad that some can only learn a lesson by experiencing it. I feel sorry for the poor souls that will be the consequence of those lessons.
ok ok ok `ill end this.
1) we are all adults
2) who ever drove fast it was their choice ( i drove fast but wasn`t part of a convoy + i take all blame for my actions so shove it HAHA)
3) we all had a good time.
4) If people don`t like going up with convoy`s don`t go.
5) driving in and out of cones doing less than 5 miles an hour is not reckless its just having fun cops would give u a warning max.
and i also wanna keep this thread open.
I do have a question though who went for the tour and did anyone get any pics inside i missed it.

I started to go, but got called to go run my car on the dyno since the second AMS car dropped out. Cameras were not allowed. Everyone complained about the heat, but I didn't make it that far. Last year it was nice and cool in there.
people need to mind thier own business. preach to people who give a dam cause I dont. The same people talking **** are the ones doing the same ****. one word....hypocrites. End of story......MOVE ON.
