    1sicklex, I was out there last week with my buddies with their s2k and type R, which ones were you? Last thursday was a bad turn out, I think b/c of the weather. Hopefully, this week will be better.

    I didn't realize that this was not a wrx or subie specific meet. I should have read the post more carefully.

    the same off duty cop seems to call it in all the time
    this older guy, I know his face well now.
    I say we follow the old guy and call 911 for erratic driving/possible DUI.
    I've been at NP and no one has done anything wrong, and that old guy makes some lame o reason up to break it up.

    maybe someone was actually being rowdy on the highway tonight, I don't know, but it seems a lot of times it's just a farce.

    It's all good. With 60 or 80 cars there, 3 or 4 cops show up and start checking people out (looking for me), some people might get a little freaked. Let's face it, we've pretty much all been hassled by the cops a time or ten. I didn't know what was up any better than anybody else did, till one came up, pointed at my car and said, "Who drives this?" (I'm thinking: What? Me? Damnit, why's it always gotta be me?)

    Anyway, that's the first time I ever emptied a whole freakin' parking lot! Felt a bit bad about that. Attracting cops to a meet is kinda like farting in a crowded movie theater during a slow, quiet scene. "Don't everybody leave now, we're just getting to the good part! Aight. Y'all go. I'll let you know what happened." Anyway, so, excuse me, I guess.

    Ok, first, gotta ask, but why do we meet up at NP? The cops seem to harass us there quite a bit. The shop owners don't want us there, so why do they continue to meet there?

    Andrettis is right down the street, I am sure they would be cooler with us than where we go currently, hell, would probably help Andrettis business. Why don't they move NP to their. Then when the cops come harassing, nobody would have to go anywhere, unless Andretti's doesn't want us there too, which I doubt.

    I came up Old Roswell/Rock Mill/Westside to Encore (formerly Center Bridge - cuts down on the SW corner of the mall between the mall and the shopping center with Ross, Michaels, Office Max, etc.). I was behind a Jeep Cherokee, I think it was. I should have paid attention to the Thin Blue Line sticker on the back
    [​IMG]
    but, stupidly, I didn't.

    Rock Mill is covered with pot-holes and bad patches, and as long as there's nobody coming the other direction (and I can see headlights around the corners at night), I always ride down the middle to avoid them, and the guy in front of me probably thought I was a real asshole. Then when it widened out at Westside, I passed him, then sped up even more to get around a real slow poke I didn't want to get stuck behind on Encore. The Cherokee sped up to try to hang with me, but I didn't think much it, 'cause it happens all the time. I had just had an Accord do it a few miles back.

    So I turn left on Northpoint, goin' 35 with a cop right in front of me. Cop turns left into the mall at the light by the parking deck, I turn right to come to the meet, and Cherokee turns in a little behind me. No big deal, I think, he's coming to check out the cars.

    I park, get out, and 2 minutes later a cop pulls up at the other end of the lane I'm in. Then another. Damn, why are they hassling us, I think. Nobody's doing anything wrong. People start taking off. I hear one cop say something about everybody goin' on home. Then he walks straight toward my car and asks who was driving it. (What? Why me?) I say "me", he says "let me see your license." Then he tells me an off-duty officer saw me driving recklessly on Northpoint Parkway. I kinda stared at him, dumbfounded. (Huh? I was behind a cop!) He says something like, "he's already left, so you're getting off lucky, but you know if he wanted to press charges, in court his testimony would be as good as mine." I'm still kinda standing there with a dumb look on my face, and another cop says something about me not taking it seriously, so cop with my license says "wait here", takes my license to his car, and says to the other cops, "get him on the phone, does he want to come back?"

    When he came back, he had clarified it with off-duty cop, and by then, it had all clicked in my head anyway (my brain must not have going as fast as my car last night), so I gave him plenty of "yes, sir"s, he told me to slow it down, gave me my license, and I left. (Whew!)

    Needless to say, I got the hell out of Alpharetta.

    There are pics of the shenanigans on a thread on IA. Check it out: http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?t=76585&page=4&pp=20#post34874556

    This one from that thread is my car, my wife, Pop (Ava), Tim (whom I just met last night), and a couple of other guys:
    [​IMG]

    Nah, it's black on black with black wheels. It's in the pics at the IA thread.

    Just a guess. Didn't have much time before the cops drew my attention away. I'm thinking there were 15-20 cars per row * 4 or 5 rows. May be an overestimation.

    I haven't been following this drama too closely, but if the store owners don't want you there and have expressed so, and people STILL show, by all means you can reasonably expect to get run out of there, and rightfully so...
