"ATTENTION CAR ENTHUSIASTS: WARNING

I'm posting about the WEDNESDAY NIGHT MEET at SONIC in BLOOMINGTON.

As everyone who has been there this year knows that the size of this meet has grown exponentially. However, it has come time that this is a problem. With and extra police patrol specifically for this meet, we all knew something was going to happen soon. Soon is now.

For those of you that don't know, I work at Bobby and Steve's auto world in Bloomington, a stone's throw away from those meet location, and we offer towing services as well as impounding services to nearby businesses.

Today we received a call from the Manager of the Bloomington sonic where this meet is held. The restaurant has received multiple complaints from surrounding businesses, residences, as well as the Bloomington PD about the meet. So in response to this they are asking that all vehicles that are not parked in designated spaces, as well as stalls that have overstayed their welcome, and don't move their vehicles when asked, be impounded. Yes, you read right impounded.

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, let me throw some reasoning at you. This meet lasts all night, with cars beyond the parking capacity. This means that all of Sonic's stalls are taken up, mostly by meet attendees. This poses a problem Because there is no turnover in the stalls, and the restaurant can't take in new customers Except in the drive through (which has Also become a massive pain in the ass). Look at it from a business perspective; we bring them a lot of business, however they can't run normal customer turn over. Not to mention that the establishment is receiving a bad reputation if nothing is done.

So I'm posting this as a warning to anyone that attends the sonic meets on Wednesday nights from here on out. They will expect you only used their supplied stalls for 30-60 minutes, then be on your way, They will expect you to park in designated parking spots, and they will expect you to respect the property, and surrounding businesses. They are prepared to take action upon people that don't comply.

As I said earlier, my employer has been contacted about impounding. I have nothing to do with towing, impounding, or any of that. Should any of this happen, I can't help you.

I'm posting this to serve as a warning to anyone that does go to the meet. I imagine there will be a heavy law enforcement presence as well. So please, be respectful.

Pass this along and share, so no one gets caught off guard"






Yeah, that's a little too sketchy for me to roll into and I thought about going tomorrow night. Looks like I'll just go to the TCE meet Friday night and C&C Saturday morning then.....

The meet still happens. It is my understanding however the crowd has changed and it is getting too large for the venue

So you have two FD's right now? I see you have one up on Craigslist for $15,000 with no pics. Is that one running and just an extra right now? I assume that's not the one you want to 20b swap. I really need to get into the FD game... :egrin:

Does it have a cf hood and 550 some hp? Austin, did you see the black roller on cl? Man if I had an extra 7k right now I'd buy it and push it up and down the street in front of your house all winter haha....really though, I'd make it into the track machine and let my 95 sit under the car cover for the rest of its life. You better hope you come up with a wad of cash faster than I can because I have a feeling I'll be on the lookout for another fd soon ;p
