Default 2/25 Cruise

Long day!

I want to thank everyone who showed up and added to the success of this cruise. I hope everyone had a great time!

- I want to aplogozie for the toll booth issues, Next cruise that problem will be taken care of.

Final count from my understanding:

211 cars/trucks and 24 bikes

Again I hope everyone is safe coming back home, and I hope to see you guys out at the next event.

People were still waiting at the toll booth about an hour later. Reasons, were too many cars, and second was they ran out of change. While we were eating at Salsa's people were still waiting at the toll booth.

I didn't wake up till after you all had met up. Sadly I can't go the way you all went my car isn't able to make any kind of real bumps. My fenders aren't rolled so any half *** bump will cause my tire to hit my fender.

On another note my buddy called me while I was asleep and I called him when I got up and he's like dude there is some big cruise, I just passed up a TON of cars. He was like "they are going left down 288, were they lost? Thats the worst road in the world to go down."

btw old man winter takes that long even with like 10 people there. We went over it one day and it took 45minutes... talked about beyond pissed off lol!

Yeah it was a great turn out, but who ever organized it should have relaized the toll booth issue a long time ago. I have a great place to meet for a Galveston cruise if anyone needs some better ideas on keeping everyone closer together and I think they do. Let me know I will be glad to discuss it with whom ever, but over all a good time.

yeah i agree with jeff. also the way everyone meet up on the southside was one of the dumbest ideas imo. it took forever to get out of that parking lot and everyone was supose to cruise together when everyone had there own groups or whatever. the first ls1tech cruise i went on everyone from the northside rolled together and meet up on cherryhill. it was also better because traffic was blocked from that high school and we actually were able to cruise together. it was fun but very poorly thought out!

Good weather, damn good crowd, had a good time.

Suggestions:

1. Avoid tollbooths, period. We stayed ahead of the crowd, got through pretty easily.
2. Maybe consider having the final destination a huge parking lot at a park, instead of the chaos of driving around in Galveston. Everyone pack a lunch and drinks.
3. Southside parking lot sucked *** for getting out. Damn redlights. Gathering lot (wherever it is) needs to have a clear path from the parking lot to the entrance ramp of a highway, without any redlights. Preferably, the lot should be on the same side of the highway that everyone is getting onto.

Oh yeah, and to the assclowns that felt the need to keep peeling out and revving engines in the parking lots, you are

It is a parking lot full of cars that could kick the **** out of your car, no need to do that retarded bullshit. That is how we get run off and not welcomed back. Dickwads.

Just wondering when are you going to post up the pictures you took? I would like to see how you captured my car Yellow C5 with non-popup lights.
