Yeah exactly I bet... Hope she comes again when its better and more controlled.


Not saying we can't have fun people just saying there's too many peoples for these types of cruises. Needs to be separated into smaller groups.

As far as the 'cruise' tonight goes, it definitely needs to change or i wont be going anymore. Don't get me wrong I love driving, and I love driving fast. But in my opinion, when you get that many cars together on a cruise something is bound to happen and someone is bound to get hurt eventually. Whether it be a minor fender bender or a serious accident its not worth us and its not worth our cars. There is something different about us when we are behind the wheel of our cars. Which is what makes a cruise so dangerous with that many cars. Besides that I have one racing ticket and I don't need another one ;). A Its expensive and B I wont have a license and thats just not good at all. Please don't be mad or take this the wrong way, but understand this is in the best interest of everyone.

I must agree. No more cruises of that size. And the next time those fucking neon people try to come with us i will march my little self over and tell them to fucking leave. To my knowledge none of our members invited them, and after reading what Randy said they were doing, i am shocked that we even continued to cruise with them. If we invite them its a different story so long as they understand our rules/standards of cruises, which have not been followed/upheld the past two meets imo. Like Josh said, cruises of over 8 cars is way to big to deal with at once. I think we need to step back and rethink how we want to cruise. Our first few were awesome same CMZC fun, but i personally think the last two got out of hand.

On a side note i want to say thanks to all of you who came out tonight, and it was a pleasure meeting some new members tonight! Hope to see you all again!

like i just want to know what people would want to do differently without causing conflict cause like i dont want to put my self in a position where i can do harm to my car, my self, someone, or someone elses car. like i enjoyed the sonic meet but the cruise was a mess i know we got f'd up but, i dont think have 18 or what ever it was people going up lookout mt is a good idea cause its a small narrow road and everyones driving style is different like if we're going to have other cars follow us that arent in the club i think we should ask them not to follow our pack of cars or at least be last so none of us risk hurting them or them hurting us cause from what i'm understanding about the neon guys they were rude and i'm all for what andrew said but i dont want to start a fight you know

i was hoping he wouldnt follow maybe he thought he was welcome but i think he and his friend wanted to street race cause thats wat i was feeling from this![/b]


Before you put your foot in your mouth, you might just wanna shut up... seriously. I knew who they were and yes they were invited to go. They did play stupid for a bit and some of us in the Club set them straight and let them know what we do or don't do.

You also made some remark about my stepdaughter and wife in the Black Jeep Liberty when they pulled up, like I said keep your mouth shut until you actually know who everybody is.

It honestly hurts me to hear that people passed someone who needed to pull over. I feel horrible, and I never heard it (damn walkie talkies) nor did I get a phone call. I think everyone knows that if I would have heard something like that I would have pulled over immediately. I do agree in the fact that there were too many cars, but please do not blame the CMZC members because two neons ruined it. I think we were fine if they weren't there. They continued to do more shit as we went up Lookout Mountain and they didn't follow us after a few people gave them a little "talk". After that the cruise went just fine.

As for leaving people, we assumed everyone was with us (we left even later than we normally would)... plus there were Mazdas, Neons and Subarus all leaving at the same time, it was kind of confusing to see if we got everyone. I apologize to Trish emmensly. I would have been very hurt if I was left behind. Sorry Trish.

Agreed... larger cruises won't happen again, I truly feel bad for everyone that was effected by tonight's meet and cruise. I hope this won't completely kill the spirit of cruising.

Jack chill its okay :)

Can't blame DJ for saying something bout the neons not knowing. no one knew except me I think, that you invited them and even at the gas station i told you about the copper one cutting me off WHILE turning. Gotta be able to take shit for people that are invited. Not saying you can't, you know me. Not saying it was said 'best' by DJ. Not covering for any side just saying htey caused issues and were dealt with which is good but can't get mad cuz someone posts something bout them when they were doing stuff.....

anyways... I didn't make my post cuz the neons I made it becuase i felt it needed to be said.

The cruise was great. Just got home was talking with Nissan Dave and Angelo at the conoco and just got back.

About the cruise it does need to be cut down into smaller groups. That doesn't mean that we need to all take a different route but maybe have a few groups leave say 10minutes after eachother and have checkpoints where we all meet back up. Let's say for tonights curise we woulda had 3 different groups. One leave @ 9:00 the next at 9:10 and the other @ 9:20 and all meet up at the top of Look Out. Then leave from there in the same fashion. That way it's one route still instead of 3 different ones.

Along the lines of someone stopping I saw Nick pull over as he was in front of me and had mentioned that on the radios. Not sure if anyone had heard it. I coulda have said it while someone else was talking and it didn't go through. Another reason that smaller groups would be better. The walkies only let one person at a time speak so if we have a lot of people we are more likely not able to hear what is going on. I personoly did not hear anyone say anything about it and I did fail to mention it again. Something I should have done. Also we were all getting onto C-470 at the time and our speed and distance may have not enable us to receive any message. I think Angelo had got Andrews txts while we were sitting at the gas station around 1am. (Don't quote me on that though)

As far as inviting people to come with us I think that is fine but when they start doing stupid things it gets to be too much. I don't mind non-Mazdas coming. They just need to be informed ahead of time that they need to let people in when we have our signals on. They need keep in control and not drive like idiots. They don't have to be the first ones to the location. Basically they just need to be curtiouse. I know that the orange neon pissed a lot of members off because of their behavior and I was one of them. The one that really gets me is when they passed a member (don't remember who) on Look Out. Not just passing them but passing them on a turn. They put all of us in danger and at risk. If there had been a car coming down the other way who knows what would have happened.

I know that there is something important I am forgetting but it is nearly 3am so forgive.
