Local Import club blues Options

[Soulend]

Hey everyone,

I don't to start a flame war about this, and not sure if it even will; but where I am, Tucson, the import clubs are horrendous. now granted there are no Toyota clubs that I know of ( miiight be a 7th gen club... but they have their own problems like thinking all other celica's are crap). and like 90% of the clubs revolve around Honda's. I don't know how this is in any other city, but there is a lot of bad blood in the Honda community in Tucson, and from what I heard, in Phoenix as well. hell the biggest Honda club in Arizona has a dedicated page to known thieves. but anyway this bad blood causes a lot of drama in the import scene around town and generally weekly meets are shut down by cops.

I wanted to know how Import meets are in other States, and if they are usually bad, what do you end up doing?

Im my town most of us that drive imports( modded one atleast) are good friends.
We never really have meet unless you call us all ending up at the drag strip at the same time a meet lol
An like everywhere else its mainly hondas but most of thems modded like most of the celicas on here
We dont really have any bad blood between but were all super competitive with eachother an we all have a certain guy we dont want to lose to.
At the end of the day when or lose were all friends an i know if im ever in a spot an need help all i have to do is ask

This.
Where I live we have a group of us that do weekly meets and such.
However there's lots of bad blood between "modified" cars, that chose to do stupid things like street race, and cause uneccessary attention which causes police to lump us into one big group, causing vehicle inspections that are supossed to keep our city safer, but which is really just a cash grab by targeting imports and dinging them for anything illegal possible, which really aren't safety issues.

The club/forum I belong to are trying to turn that view of imports in our city around from a negative to a positive.
