interestingly enough, I go to car shows all the time in between my track days. yet somehow I never managed to make it down to a cars and coffee event. scheduling just never worked out for me.
as I come on here to check the info, I find this thread. ive changed my mind about going in the morning.
I don’t want to be a part of, nor support anything that even resembles an elitist, anti-American, discriminatory event of any kind.
southern California invented the automotive aftermarket after WWII. these were largely aviation mechanics looking to use their skills one things they love. cars. they bled motor oil, and drank gasoline (not litereally). they loved, modified, and accepted cars of all kinds, from any country, with any pricetag. just as our great country welcomes all those regardless of race, color, creed, or religion. I can’t think of anything anti American, than an elitist event that only further points out whats wrong with south orange country. An area, as an OC native, I avoid like the plague.
I’ll continue to frequent the car shows I’ve been going to, and explore those on the socal car culture website I haven’t been to yet.
the only difference now though, is i’ll be making a concerted effort to discourage the turners and enthusiast I encounter at the road courses to refrain from supporting this event.
anything that discriminates and polarizes our community, the community I live in is another shining example of one of the problems with this country. One i’ll be brining up at the open minutes during the end of the next city council meeting.
as far as im concerned, an event like this needs to go away and i’ll be letting our elected representatives know whats going on in their city, congressional, and senate districts.
Wow, you have totally overblown this way out of any proportion imaginable. Elitist? Un-American? You’re going to city hall to rally against these events? Overreact much? Got something else going on in your life to keep you busy?
I think if you were going to be intellectually honest about this, then you have to rally against everything that is catered toward a niche or specialty market then.
You have to rally against senior citizen centers for being discriminatory against young Americans, after all, it’s the youth that continue to build this great nation and why shouldn’t they get all the jello and 4pm turkey dinners for $2?
How about strip joints? Rally against those too because fat, unattractive girls should be able to work in those joints while keeping all their clothes on too. Why not? Why should only hot ***** women with nice bodies make money there? That’s so un-American to deny people the chance to make money.
Oh, no Harley Owners Group either. Go down to the Harley dealer and rally against them being against Japanese motorcycles, cruisers or sport bikes. That’s so un-American for an American motorcycle company to only limit themselves to… themselves. HOG’s should allow everyone into the club. Same with the Star Riders for Yamaha cruisers, Goldwing Riders for Hondas, and any other sport bike clubs that are popping up everywhere. Anti-American communist bastages, all of them!
Did you also write to protest against Monterey and Pebble Beach and the organizers of Hot Import Nights and any other organized car meets where they cater to a specific segment of the car enthusiast market? How about telling Jackson-Barrett and Beachum’s auctions that they have to sell some jalopies too in addition to their exotics because it’s un-American to not allow some schmoe to put his beloved 1997 Nissan Altima with the upgraded radio and 17″ rims on the block for everyone to fight over?
Let me know when you get on those things while I think of more projects for you.
