Again, at a car meet which do you enjoy MORE
Meeting the people?

or just checking out the rides?

**ThatGuy** · 08-14-2008, 05:24 AM

Meeting people, unless they're idiots.

Cars are cool, but I don't go to "meets" for them to be car shows.

I concur....

DreamN · 08-14-2008, 05:45 AM

cars are usually secondary. i like meeting people. especially when they're forum folk so i can finally put a face and a name together. i've been fortunate in meeting a lot of great ppl through this site.

Z33dori · 08-14-2008, 09:45 AM

i go to look at the cars, and if people are around the cars im looking at i speak. if there cool ill hang out with them for a lil while, crack some jokes and all that. thats how i like to meet people. i hate to approach some one just to find out there a dick head. so i really dont go to meets just to meet people, but i do like to though. well i guess it goes both ways.

adrians_s13 · 08-14-2008, 11:54 AM

its definitely to meet people (there are sooo many advantages to making friends in the auto industry, lol)...

but I'd also have to admit, I sometimes do like seeing the ricers/action/drama (this was at an all make/model type of meet)... which is probably why those Monday meets in Artesia were so popular. haha... if you live in Socal, you know what I'm talking about. Don't deny you liked going haha

im the same way....

TUnity2 · 08-14-2008, 11:58 AM

if it's our weekly sunday night lake meet i go for the people, but a big meet like a BBQ or nissan meet or somthing I like to check out cars and setups of others.

WoolyS14DET · 08-14-2008, 04:22 PM

Id rather see the car first then meet the owner due to the fact that at ceartin meets all I here is a bunch of JACKASSES who think they are the shit and know everything !!! (Yeah I got this and this and this and i um um yeah shut the fuk up) !!!!!

Exactly, its like when I go up to a car first thing the owner talks about are his mods, when I don't even ask. I just tune it out though and admire or observe.

Talking about yourself again huh?

Cars first then people. It's not called a car meet with out cars.

LongGrain · 08-14-2008, 04:25 PM

at the local saturday night meet i usually just go to hang out with friends, i avoid talking to the people i dont know, because they all seem to be big dummies

azndoc · 08-14-2008, 06:03 PM

Used to go to the 626 friday night meet like 45 mins drive there every friday for like two years.

Then stupid people showed up and I just stopped going.

I go there to hang out with the people.

I could care less about the cars.

blackrms13 · 08-14-2008, 10:50 PM

meeting new people
b/c somehow most of the cars i see arent like all THAT exciting, i mean, some are cool, but after u look at it for like couple of mins or whatever, you'll be done...

*downshift_sideways* · 08-15-2008, 03:33 AM

I didn't see

"Stand around your group of friends the entire meet...till it's over..."

zylvia213 · 08-15-2008, 07:36 PM

Honestly to check cars out but ofcourse dont mind meeting new peeps

this!

i mean i don't mind meeting new peeps unless, they are stuck up....and think there haggard 240sx is the best one at the meet when its not its just your average every day cookie cutter 240.

supportTHEezln · 08-15-2008, 10:08 PM

Yea - there's a lot of "look how big my penis is via my car" people. At least there are a lot of secure people as well.

emayearecee · 08-17-2008, 02:41 PM

meeting people.... hahaha which reminds me i should get back to pipeline pizza meets i could use some help with my suspension

Rick-95ZE · 08-17-2008, 09:15 PM

I have always enjoyed meeting the people/artists behind the work. And when I come across a nicely done vehical that is owned by a very respectable Individual, it makes it all the more "zen" for me

. I have made many long term friendships over the years from attending "Car Meets", Cruze-ins Ect. GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD TIMES!!

*downshift_sideways* · 08-17-2008, 09:18 PM

Meets are for pussy parking lot poser wannabee's.

lol you dont say. Sounds like a local SRT4/Honda civic car club from around here.

Anyhow, people are always who I want to talk to, mostly to go "wtf were you smoking?" other times just to complement. I enjoy all kinds of cars.

Except Tiburons.

Firestorm · 08-18-2008, 03:17 AM

i usually go to meets to meet people. it's just nice to meet people who share the same passion. if i want to look at cars, i can check the numerous build/picture threads here on zilvia. besides, one can always learn from another. like here in germany, we have some people who are good with suspension, others are good with engines and tuning and so forth.

karl wasabi · 08-18-2008, 03:50 AM

hahaha. I like to hard park once in a while.

I usually go to hang out with friends, and meet new people.

But seriously. Some times, (a lot of times) I see a group of people show up to a meet and just sit on their hoods. Like they are posing or something waiting for someone to come up to them and as about their cars. lol. I hate that.

And yes Downshift... "Stand around your group of friends the entire meet...till it's over..." should have been an option cause that's what a lot of people to too... LMAO

anyotherone · 08-18-2008, 02:19 PM

I don't like most people that are into cars around here... so I go for the cars. I'm not an elitist, but most guys are frigin liars and idiots when it comes to cars, and I am neither so it's frustrating.

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 08-19-2008, 02:39 AM

people suck! cars are cool!

spoolandslide · 08-19-2008, 06:14 AM
