All come together for the greater good to donate to people who are less fortunate.
The scenery and purpose is why I was interested. Camo, I know they won't turn down donations, but they can turn down parking for the people doing the donating. I understand it is put on by a European car group, but I also see that every car there will be taking part in the food collections and that's why I thought it would be more fair if it was all cars allowed in.

Cause, in all seriousness, who here really wants to leave their baby parked out on the street? And no one would get irritated if on arrival, they're told they couldn't park inside and pointed another way? I find that extremely hard to believe.

So, that's why I posted questions about it, because everyone should know in advance that there is the possibility of that happening, thus preventing any possible pissiness. Hopefully every car gets in there regardless of make, but if not, it was discussed here and you have no right to throw a temper tantrum.

I agree with Angie. The Golden Gardens meet was a similar situation and was rather irritating. Trying to cram way too many cars in way too little space. Not only that, but half the Evos that went were in one parking lot, the other half in the next all the way across. By the time we saw the rest of the Evo peeps, they were leaving.

Dont get me wrong, I go to see all kinds of cars. However my main motivation in going to 90% of meets is to be able to cruise and park with fellow Evo's.

^ I agree with this, parking on the street sucks but also I hate when ppl walk close to cars, kick rocks and touch inside the stadium. Not as many ppl around the cars on the street. Las year my ex gf's car last year got back into on the same street where the entrance to the stadium is on. Cracked her new shaved bumper, shes lucky it was just an honest local.

All you have to do is stick a few gas containers in your trunk for the drive

Is anyone attempting to have the south guys meet up while the caravan cruises through Tacoma? Can someone take initiative on this? Should be a good handful of cars joining up.
