these meets are really dumb. You are ruling out certain cars that meet your criteria and making other random exceptions? ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > these meets are really dumb. You are ruling out certain cars that meet your criteria and making other random exceptions? Well if I invited all 80s and early 90s cars this would just become another meet just like what happened to soloscoobs rare/unique thread. If I just posted Z/RX7/Supra/Starquest meet, there are too many exceptions. Something like a 73 Corolla is an exception. So if you think its dumb you don’t have to come, simple as that. ---

So something like like 70-80s cars only, no domestics. Wouldn’t that work? The problem with near random exceptions is that it results in exactly that. That said if I still had something from that era I’d be all over it. ---

Yeah Imports only, sorry Fuzzy even though your car is pure 80s hotness. Newman I figured you wouldn’t be done though I thought you were aiming for april/may but no need to rush just to bring it to a meet that will probably unsuccessful anyways. Im sure Joe will let you drive one of his cars or if I don’t have someone to drive the 83 you are more than welcome to. ---

Im sure Joe will let you drive one of his cars or if I don’t have someone to drive the 83 you are more than welcome to. I don’t own any 80s hotness anymore, I have a WRX these days. Some day I’ll get back into the boxy hotness though. ---
