Hendrick Honda + Stunnaben Collab = Hendrick After Hours

[bobbyhill]

the only thing that i thought was bad was there was some cars that should not have been parking on the lot like primerd,no fenders and stuff like that .i now there was alot of better cars in the parking lot right next door that i saw.it's all cool though,good meet.

the 240 with no fenders/bumper and there were a few other cars that bothered me... the purple masking tape all over the crx bothered me a bit too...

The turnout was insane and I had a great time. I want to thank Jonathan for getting the ball rolling on this meet. He has been asking for this meet for over a year and he finally got it done. I want to thank Ben for organizing one of the best meets I have ever been to and bringing the level of cars we saw. I want to thank Toyo tires, Monster, and Solstice tint (sp?). Last but not least, a huge thanks to HENDRICK HONDA and their employees for everything.

you were in an area that has had a large street racing bust and a street smart police force... if you're stuff is legit then you should be happy as the police now has documentation that it was yours should it ever get stolen...

if they want documentation, they have a mouth. They can use it, rather than try to be sneaky about it, which they were. I'm all for helping out law enforcement and i'll do anything i can to lend a hand, but why be sketch if you think someone is acting sketch.


also, anyone that knew anything about the bust knew that the stories that were released were terribly twisted from their origin

haha how about those cops last night were american muscle biased. when we were leaving cops were tellin people they would pull people over and shit for speeding. well my friend wtih that cammed red trans am was leaving the cop told him to get on it

[92teginsc]

its all good!! me chris and jason kinda got lost on the way back. then we got on it a little on the way back when we got closer to home. nice of you guys to wait on me after i got held up by that 5 minute red light.

[RoadconeTuning]

welcome to the south, they are usually muscle biased... most people hate imports because for a while there was nothing but 4 foot wings and 5" exhaust welded onto stock cars... kinda like why most import guys hate third gen camaros...

but we had it all... even a Third Gen with a 383.


but back on topic... the MUGEN CRX inside was the hotness, anyone else see the MR2 with the T67?

yeah, those cops told the same thing to my buddy with the LS1 Z...He nailed it when he had the chance to in front of the cops haha

[RoadconeTuning]

that Z32 was nice... the swap looks like it drops right in...

[andythomason]

actually i don't know granger. i left in my s2000 before kellen in his trans am and the same cop that wouldn't pose in front of your CRX goes "let's see what it's got" with a smile on his face. i was like umm nah i'm good don't wanna set myself for a ticket lol.

[92teginsc]

that was a good move on your part! you know they just had to be itching to pull somebody over! and i know somebody prolly fell victim.

[Coppertop]

they didn't like my crx lol. i gave them a wave and he said "Keep it to the inside lane"

Pretty good meet besides some FAGGOT spitting on my car windows. If you cant respect peoples property you need to Just GO Kill YOURSELF.

[92teginsc]

thats pretty freaked up! i cant even tell you what i would do if i seen sumbody disrespect my car. itd be kinda ruff!

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah I mean the meet was ok...but driving 3+ hours to get there then not get in to the regular parking kinda pissed me off, but then someone spitting on my car in overflow really made me mad. It was my birthday yesterday, and because of that incident the meet was not all that great.

[92teginsc]

why did you get parked into overflow?

[SFrymyah]

that sucks bad dude. I knew there had to be a ton of people coming from a pretty long way that were getting turned away. The last HT meet we had in charlotte, we had people coming from South Florida - i can only imagine coming that far and being told there wasnt room for me.

[92teginsc]

but i seen some empty spaces tho! there was room for more. whats up with that? and some of the cars looked as if they needed to pay just to get in imo!

Which meet was this?

[92teginsc]

the charlotte meet!! you didnt know about this?? shame on you bro!

[Stunna BEN]

Biggest props to Kareem and Jonathan, as they were the main reason this meet went down. Without those guys, there wouldve been no event. Jonathan worked harder than anyone especially on this, so i give hats off to him 1st and with the most respect!

As for parking, we had some issues with traffic, and this could not be helped. I would apologize for it, but free monster, tshirts, and food was well worth what everyone got, for FREE might i add.

Next one will be $1-5 dollars per spot possibly, seeing that people dont enjoy to get free stuff. Also, we wanted everyone to come. It wasnt a honda tech meet, it wasnt a honda meet, it was a hendrick honda meet, part of the hendrick automotive group. This was to test a theory, and it worked better than we ever wouldve expected, so with that we thank everyone for coming.

A few of you speak on cars you didnt want to see inside, and i can agree, but when working with a staff trying to learn, and people coming out to support you, its very hard to. we cut the lot at 250 not on my words, nor jonathan or kareem, but the GM's words. Those are stiff rules and we had to stick to them. Then with a few standing up there, along with the GM, the GM picked and sorted through cars to come down on the lot. I am not throwing blame, but its really nothing to get so mad over. It will show you guys that next time will be more packed, and that next time expect a better turn out.

I will have different parking situations for everyone next time, and maybe some more stiff rules for what does and doesnt get in, but i will say that if you have not planned and organized a meet or event of this caliber for a company or corp please dont make comments that are off what you would do. Its one thing to throw a meet, but its another to work with a company, and have to work across the board. Many people wouldnt know what to do, and its something thats very hard to do with a small team without being biased. There was a well mixed crowd, and that was the goal.

Thanks for everyone coming, and the next event is already being set in stone, with more information about Hendrick Automotive Group, Hendrick Motorsports, and the 2009 year of events approaching fast.
