Um no they wont, the fucking cops hate anything that's on 4 wheels and aint a godamned SUV up in angeles crest, that spot is sooooo burnt it's not even funny. Every godamned car crew nissan, subaru, dodge, evo, goes up the fucking crest, someone drives like a dipshit.

Bam car meets are banned, just like the idiot at the m3 meet who flipped his bimmer on a "test run" driving like a jack ass and his car caught on fire with his friend stuck in the back seat, couldn't get him out and watched his buddy cook to death.

Yeah, Angeles Crest car meet is like volentarily asking for insurance rate aids.

I hope my rear fenders get done on time. Rear rubs with the 275's I just put.

I have 275's on my car too. What kind of tires did you go with? Do you like them so far?

nitto nt-05's.........they are freakin awesome. Great traction! Now I actually go somewhere when I give it gas. LOL Haven't tried cornering hard because it rubs but hopefully figure that out soon.

I have Nitto 555's and they're a great all around tire. I don't know much about the nt-05's. I'll have to check them out.

I had 555's on before and still have those on my audi. 555's decent traction and last forever. nt-05s......just feel so different. Way more traction and probably won't last as long but I'll see how long they last.

I'll have to check the treadwear on the nt-05's. If they'll last a while it might be might next tire. I've been very happy with the Nitto's I've had so far.

Alright everyone, this is my last bump for this.

I will be at the meet spot at noon. For anyone that needs gas there is a station directly across the street.

We are planning to leave around 12:30 give or take a few minutes. We need to stay on time as much as possible because we're going to be meeting up with some cars at the base of the Crest at around 1:15.

The cruise should take about 4 hours total. We are planning to be back by 6. We will stop a couple times along the way to get everyone together and to let people use the restroom. At the meetup point I will be handing out maps that will have details of everything. The maps will also have the phone numbers of a few of us on them in case anybody gets lost.

As I mentioned we are planning to be back by 6. For anyone that just wants to come hang at the meet it will start by 6:30 for sure. Here is the address for the meet:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

We'll be videotaping along the way and will splice together a cruise video after we're done. If anyone has any questions you all know how to get a hold of me. Thanks and see you there!!

Sean, sorry I missed it. They didn't finish rolling my fenders 'til about 2. I'm definitely there next time.

No problem. How'd your fenders turn out?

Pretty good, no more rubbing....LOL, I asked the guy doing the job if he saw me randomly would he run? He said no......"why?" The tires give it away.....why do you need so much rubber? LOL

SeanPlunk · 06-16-2009, 12:30 PM

This was a great meet - thanks to everyone that came! I think we had 37 + cars on the cruise! We had Vette's, IS's, Mustangs, 350z, Evo's, an S2000, Camaro's, a couple Subie's, SRT4's, a Charger, a DSM, a CTS-V, a BMW 335, 2 AMG Mercedes, GTO's etc.

The first section of the crest the weather was bad unfortunately. At one point visibility was probably about 15ft. It was a good group though and everyone actually slowed way down so that nobody would get hurt. The weather let up after we got a little higher elevation wise and then it was a great run. The part of Angeles Crest they just reopened was freshly paved and really fun to drive.

When we started last year we only had 12 cars on the run and it was all domestics. It was exciting to see how many new people we met this year. It was also nice because our cruises have become a 50/50 mix of domestic and import/euro. Our next meet is July 11th, keep your eyes open here for details. We're doing another cruise and will decide on a route shortly. I hope to see you all there!!

Excellent article on the cruise again courtesy of Martin!

So, does anybody have any great ideas for a cruise next month? We're going to be meeting on July 11th and would like something in the 2 hour range. Also, what does everyone think of maybe ending up at a park for a BBQ or at the beach for a bonfire instead of Nick's?
