TypeRryan,
You sound like a 16 year old kid. Exactly why are you here?

I think Bruce did a great job but if you know your history, you'll see that his is actually based off the RSR race cars used in many motorsport events NOT so he could have the extreme "bling" factor.
My philosophy which probably doesn't fit yours is to go with mods that improves the overall functionality of the car itself in terms of handling and overall power characteristics. Clearly these do not fit the "originality" theme you seem to be conveying.
BTW Mark... you crack me up man! I'll just throw on a BMW badge on my G & pretend it's european

did you have the blue 997tt at southcenter? if so looks good. and if not bring it out there. i love car ppl and ppl that dont buy stuff to feel good bout them self. its like another i love me trophyOriginally Posted by gretapass
^^^Thanks for stating this Mark. I had been looking forward to coming today, but after reading the thread and learning that my 2008 997TT for which I paid $158k, qualified to park in the spillover area, so I could go admire the "exotics" in the center court, pissed me off. I enjoy these events for the friendships, conversations and to see ALL the cars which each owner feels is special and we all appreciate. I do not plan to come to these events if we are "ranked" according to any criteria, that is not what it is about for me.

when you get that bracelet off hit me up ill roll up there for a nice cup of coffee
This says the troll. I'm sorry but you haven't exactly proven that you know very much about cars yourself either.Originally Posted by TypeRryan
i second that thats why i built my car rather then buy. you deal with snobby ppl who dont know **** about cars other then what they read in magazines. when you get that bracelet off hit me up ill roll up there for a nice cup of coffee
No, Greta has a sexy white 997TT.

I'm pretty happy with the stock performance of Paul and William's Scuderia. The speed, sound and technology packed into those cars is out of this world. It also seems like you have an issue with people who are well off. Everyone has a direct hand in their success, it doesnt matter where you come from, if you have the drive to be successful you will succeed. Take a note from my book, I'm a young guy (22) and I look up to people in this group for guidance and advice in my life and career. They have achieved one of my life goals, their advice on how to achieve these life goals is priceless.Originally Posted by TypeRryan

Its all good Tommy keep doing what you are doing. If he wants a jdm meet or want to go against the intended purpose of this meet then he can join the crew at krispy kreme or the guys getting caught racing on roads like idiots.
The exotic owners here don't boast nor do they look down upon other makes. Its the attitude that some but not all of the jdm owners exhibit that discourages people like tommy and applesauce to not reach out to that particular community. Mr. TypeR you only reinforce this. Some guys on here have millions of dollars worth of cars, but at the end of the day they are just car enthusiasts and respect those that love what they love and respect what they respect. I'm no where close to being a millionaire and my car is no scuderia but I believe that I fit in and am accepted amongst this group of individuals for what I bring to the table, besides being the token half black guy haha.
With all that said it would behoove you to begin to contribute positively to the community rather than stir things up and challenge people to race. This isn't pinks or race wars. If you want to do that take it to the track where I'm sure majority of the folks here would wholeheartedly accept your challenge. Lastly if you do feel that you rather stick around and slander people we have h20skiier that can handle some things a bit more descretely. There is a reason why he is on house arrest and after seeing italian job we all know his mini can outrun the cops

RB, I also hear that there are a couple russian's on this board ... you all know what they say about russians....
LOL at some of the comments, my car would chew up and spit out most of the exotics at RTC. But who cares? I would drive my car off a cliff with me in it and hope to live for a LP640 or SLR. And were the Vettes in the overflow lot? I couldn't tell if they were grouped in or not.

but we (as a Porsche and exotic community on 6speed) are trying to understand your areas that you put down as "grey". If you don't want Porsche and sub price value cars at the event we will honor what you want.
But it is great when you have someone Like Anthony (Mix A lot) get out of his car and smile at me and tell me he enjoyed his drive up with me and Joe (white 996 and Black GT3). Why is this great? because we are all drivers and car people and drive "exciting" european cars and have a passion for these cars.

I (we) understand drawing a line with cars since you are wanting to keep from Asian and domestic cars. So if that is the case... go to European cars only since that is what you are leaning towards. Others "if" you feel only cars that are $250+ are truly exotic let it be that way and say it. but we (as a Porsche and exotic community on 6speed) are trying to understand your areas that you put down as "grey".

Ah Christ, if you havnt gathered from the responses to TypeRyans comments this isn't what this group or event is about. I'm sure a stock Kia Rio would blow the doors off one of the vintage Rolls Royce we had out today. Does that matter to us...not in the slightest!Originally Posted by germeezy1

Thanks Tom, hearing that from you means a lot. I was just clarifying my stance and making a point. Originally Posted by TommyJames

We had a mini-C&C crisis today and it does make it clear that even if it were okay with RTC (which it is not) we'd still have to define the event. I think that should now be obvious to everyone who was there. So, that being said, we will have to come up with the right way to both define "exotic" so that it is more inclusive. Second, there are a lot of people who want to take pictures so we need to consider the setup. The big F450 would have made it difficult to get some field shots. Do we park classics against one wall as we did today? If we do get a lot of white cars, and we want to group them together, we've got to deal with that too. We can do themes, even invite groups of non-exotics for a sub-section where they can both meet each other and still be a part of everything else. That way if a group of Mini owners recently released from house arrest want to congregate in their own mini-Mini group we can somehow make that work. If it gets out of hand, RTC won't want us there so we've got to tread lightly and keep working the problem.
Here's the last of my pictures:
This car was so LOUD that it made THIS deaf guy "deafer"
