> not going to let some random person start flaming us all as a whole, it’s unacceptable. Many of us already explained what happened and know what went down, you can’t say it ain’t true that the cops are always on the prowl for the tuner community, and that just cuz of what happened with TNC, this somehow has resurrected the need for cops to watch over the tuners…wow lol

i’m not flaming anyone where, i’m giving people like you a wake up call. Explaining how one guy ruined it for everyone does solve the problem. FYI, just cause i’m not praising TNC doesn’t mean i’m flaming. This is exactly the kind of problem I was pointing out. As soon as someone says something not positive, you guys get defensive instead of trying to solve the problem. Had you actually responded to my post intelligently, progress could be made. Zep/LS13 is trying hard to change this by example.

The fact that some fools brought the heat back is a completely valid statement to make. Cops generally don’t pick on tuners unless they spot something going on. I’ve been to several cruises with other clubs (full of modded cars) and never had a problem with the cops.

> in certain circumstances, respect is earned…this Heiz character, whoever he may be, sure showed some maturity by having a menopausal moment about this eh?, I’m sure he’s not from TNC just look @ how he took the chance to bash @ us.

While his words are harsh, there are truths spoken in those words. Why don’t you spend some time in coming up with a good response rather than insta-brushing it off as random flames without any truth in it?

This “respect is earned” bullshit is the reason stupid people do stupid shit to try and “earn it”. Being the outsider they feel the need to doing something to prove themselves, which lead to the fiasco of Yorkdale. Had the white 300zx didn’t feel the need to “earn respect”, he might not have done what he did.
