Where are everyone’s pics? From the looks of social media this past week, some of you guys had a great time…
Didn’t see anyone I know on here though:
I love going on vacation to get tickets. It’s my favorite thing!
Yeah the cops were pretty aggressive it looked like. Had a great time. Didn’t really take many photos though
It was definitely out of hand this year. I didn’t take a ton of pictures but here are a few.
Didn’t take long for @IanK to become a meme.

Everyone thought that F40 is Corey Alexanders (AMA Pro rider) but it’s one of his sponsors who just let’s him take it whenever he pleases, hot machine for sure. I hope he brings it next time he races in Mid-Ohio.
Wow, what a bunch of fucking morons.
^Yea I think this was the last one I’ll be going to. @Baker I think I was behind for a while on 50 heading back to OC, car looks and sounds great.
A few pics I took.

What’s this event about?
It began as VW/Audi and some other German cars weekend in Ocean City MD. People stay in town for a long week/weekend and go to a bunch of different GTGs and hangouts in Ocean City, watch thousands of modded VW/Audis roll the strip all day and night. Saturday and Sunday the actual event takes place about 20 minutes away from ocean city, just a VW/Audi car show.
As of late it has been taken over by all car makes mostly themed in the stretched tires and poorly fit wheel combo and obnoxious kids pretty much ruining the weekend IMO.
Thanks!
I’ll never understand the crazy camber/stance scene but it looks like it was a good time for the most part. Minus the street fight crap.
LOL Well that looks like a shit show. Wonder how many arrests and tickets for that week/weekend. Wonder if they will have it again next year now after all the problems this year.
Maybe I’ve turned into the “old guy”, but man do these kids suck. It doesn’t even look remotely fun.

Nobody actually attends the show anymore. What you’re seeing is all the side-show shit that’s happening. It’s kind of impossible to close of an entire city from visitors, let alone one that relies on tourist revenue.
If I was the police, I would actually enjoy it. Overtime, letting the offenders come to you and getting to bust a bunch of schelp rocks.
A few friends spoke to some of the cops on Sunday night. They came to 45th and were scoping peoples cars and chatting with everyone. The one thought all of the police themed memes were hilarious, and also said that they actually only pulled over about 2% of the people that were actually there. Of the cars that were in accidents, impounded or otherwise, 80% were non-euro vehicles.
Not true. The show was packed to it’s capacity of show cars, as usual. The city used to have a manageable amount of traffic before 10-20,000 extra people in their siq drift mobiles, miatas, 2-stepping/anti-lagging 200hp WRXs, and general non-euro vehicles decided that they would just come fuck everything up for everyone else.
That said, I’m pretty sure you’ve never been, correct?
yeah im sure you only see the worst of it online. still, i cant imagine what you’d do there for actual fun unless you like hanging out in parking lots with hundreds of dudes.
Yeah… I can see that. Revenue coming in to the police department/county/state. Make sense. Wonder how many tickets and arrests.
We hang out at our condos and go out with some of our great friends I only get to see once or twice a year, go to the beach, the boardwalk, cruise the strip (obviously) when it isn’t overpacked.
For us, it really isn’t about the show as much anymore as it is going to see our friends. This year not included, the three prior my car was in a vendor booth, that’s the only reason I was at the show.
^^^ that’s as good a reason as any i guess.
Is Carlisle still crap?
This is true. I was there and the Officers were really cool that night. (Sunday) Although I really wanted to see Officer Jonah Hill. Just felt so bad for the guy.
I filmed that fight video. That lot (45th st) gets super weird after 11 pm. It’s mainly just intoxicated kids.
