There are a lot of things that come to mind when .... frankly most of them have already been said. We all have lives and we all have excuses but some of us have more excuses than others and others have more lies than lives. Nobody is putting a gun to anyone's head and making them do anything they do not want. But if people actually join a website such as this one and actually attempt to socialize on topic of their cars (in this case celicas)... it seems only logical that once per year they would find it in their heart to come out and meet their online comrades. In reality people would make up excuses not to go even if they had to drive 5 miles to the meet. It is sad but also true.
Considering that many of our old members (myself included) have moved on to other cars and newer members showing less interest in staying active it does not really matter who gets delegated with what. What matters is that people say they would like to come out if there was a meet and then when there is an actual meet scheduled they start shuffling their feet making excuses and as time nears the meet date more and more flake out like dandruff. Some just dont show up at all even when all information is provided. Our last meet at the park had everything going for it. Centrally located for North, East, West and South (not far south or far north but still many members non the less). Weather was beautiful and location and cruise route were fantastic. Guess who showed up.... guess who did not show up... What was more mind boggling is that people that we normally do not socialize enough with ended up driving across the state meeting us (frankly I dont even know why) but there they were with their cars... at out meet... and you know what.. it was appreciated. So lets stop lollygaging and either do this or call this off. Otherwise there is no point in attempting all those meets in the first place. Grumpy russian out. -------------------- Captain Pessimist
