Honestly it sounds like that C&C needs to be shut down if people are regularly pulling these stunts.


They've got a cop there issuing tickets while the guy in the Mustang wrecks has car and another two guys doing donuts on the same day plus all the burnouts.

 

And this is why we can't have nice things.

We have the same issue with Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach. The people leave and try to show off by doing burnouts. I don't mind getting on it a bit and letting people hear the exhuast note (no breaking of traction) but this is nonsense.

 

Stupid people runing things once again. Maybe step up enforcement? Iknow its easier said than done but. Maybe have one or two cops patrolling the meet location and one outside the entrance/exit monitoring things. Or maybe if theres security departments at those locations give them the ability to write tickets and issue them as needed just like a normal cop

 

The bad thing about asking for more enforcement, is that sometimes police departments ask that they organizing committee of the event pay for the officers to be on site since that's not their duty. The police department doesnt want to make 2-3 of it's officers come off their regular duty to stay stationary at an event like this.

 

@$$hats ruin it for everyone....

 

I plan to attend cars&coffee or supercar sunday near future but if this is all you get then no thanks. Such stupidity is a disgrace to the Mustang community. "I want to like Mustang but people driving them are douches" - I don't need to hear this.

 

no less stupid but it would have been easier to swallow if it had been a camaro ....shades of Big Vito .....

 

I don't know about the property that this C&C is held on, but if it's on private property, then the vehicle/driver can be listed as 'persona non grata' and removed if they show up.

 

That's what I was thinking. Any asshatery would be documented and the person banned from attending any future event. And make it known that was the case.

 

At the car shows that I have attended, there is usually a member or two of the "local constabulary" in the area to take care of those who wish to partake in "@$$hattery". Ironically those who are stopped say that they are "being picked on", then come to forums like these to spew an anti-cop rant.

Frankly, I do not see the the whole "doing a burnout" thing...
A: it does not impress anyone except 10 to 13 year old kids
B: it takes tread life off of your tires
C: it deposits shredded tire crap onto your car
D: it just attracts the attention of the local constabulary
E: it makes one look like an @$$hat.

 

well .. a person does`nt nescessarily have to be a hotrodder to own a hotrod ... i love burning out ..

 

To the dude that "tried" to do the burn out at the C&C show,...what a jack wagon. Good job!
That's just stupid. One,...you got people around and two,...if you're going to do that,...make sure you know what you're doing beforehand.
I wonder what hurt more? His car getting damaged or all those people in the background taking photos/video of the car and laughing/smiling?

 

It's a good thing he didn't go into that white truck. There's a fine example. Of what not to do.

 

I just looked at the oics, what a shame! A clean DIB mustang is one of the sexiest things on the road today IMO and this jacknut had to mess it up

 

I wonder how his insurance will go? I skimmed through the story but if the cops are there I can't imagine him getting away with only a wrecked car and ego. Also if the hydrant and its supporting hardware have been damaged in some fashion I would expect the city would demand compensation.

 

Just because someone is old enough to get a driver's license, doesn't mean they're old enough to be left unsupervised.

You see that played out every day. This is just one of the more recent publicized examples.

 

I have been to that very C&C and this stuff has been gone over a bazillion times over in Charlotte. The moved the venue a couple of years ago because the owners of the prior venue didn't want the attention any more. I don't blame them. I think that if the cops are there and something like this happens that the jack wagon that does this crap should get WAY more than a ticket. There has to be enough of a deterrent for people to not even think about it. I would think that getting arrested, with a dose of the impound lot and community service would suffice. As long as there are no exceptions. It's painful to see these guys doing stupid stuff and marring our car culture.

 

Every cruise night I've attended over the years encourages people to "get on it" as they leave. Not the organizers, it's the crowd that enjoys hearing old muscle revving like it was built for.

Don't call these guys a$$hats because most true car guys love it. The problem is inexperienced drivers making stupid mistakes. The best thing would be if organizers set up the exit so there is no other traffic or danger to onlookers. You're NEVER going to get car guys to stop revving. Might as well make it safe & enjoyable!

 

Getting loud is one thing, donuts and burnouts are quite another at a venue with a large gathering of people as well as places open for business to the general public at the same time.

Personally I don't have a problem with either in a secluded spot, have fun and take your video and pull the risky maneuver of plastering it all over YouTube and Facebook but it shouldn't be done otherwise, to much Ill will is created as a result. Over the years in my area I've seen the results of such activities from York County's effort to shut down Heritage Square in the 90's where the slightest provocation resulted in a reckless driving charge and currently Genroes in Va Beach where the owner and essentially sponsor of a Friday night cruise in has more or less been told to vacate a long established business spot through strong arm tactics.

Best to keep it cool since a C&C is essentially squatting that takes up valuable real estate in the eyes of property owners and businesses that would rather have paying customers occupying those same spots. Doubly so if the C&C isn't internally policed when it comes to such activities and/or the area is left trashy.
