- 1997 MAZDASPEED PROTEGE AND 03.5 MAZDASPEED
i was born 1971 so count it..hehe..FYI...the very first mazda protege meet was meant to be a family gathering..it was held at a park down in WACO...there was 4 cars that showed up and i was one of them...The other name for the protege like in asia is FAMILIA..which is family in english...i guess thats were we (the first ones) derived our very first meet...hopefully it will come to a point that it will come back to the roots...check out www.protegetech.org its a Philippines based club thats affiliated with protegetech. com...see how they do their familia meets...its nice..later
I hear ya, but that is hard to get away from sometimes. Its a shame, but the truth. Good thing is that most people that I've meet off of the forums are very nice, but if you ever find a group that would truely be considered "Rated G" you let me know. 
momstoy said:(doh) your right!! my bad... you know what my husband and i are looking for .. don't you? just a nicer crowd ....
not that the other's aren't nice.. but they were definatly much younger then us.. and it shows.. thats not a bad thing but for our children it is.. they're little ears don't need to hear with those guys are talking about..
I stopped reading this thread at this post. Nice generalistic stereotype there.momstoy said:
So, since I'm 21 that automatically means that I drink, talk "bad", am loud, and smoke pot. Yanno, I think the last thing you have to worry about right now is how you spelled specific wrong. Here we go..
First of all, you get on to us in the TX meet thread for givng you a hard time since you're too serious about anything you get involved in. You blame it on your kids, your life, etc. You complain because we're giving you a hard time and you're trying to play nice or whatever. Yet you come back with THIS thread basically proclaiming your need to exclude yourself from the rest of us just because a few of other guys. Now that's a real nice example of the maturity level you're feel is lacking.
Honestly, from what posts I *have* read of yours, you seem like you're one of those annoying as hell people that used to be "bad" but "found God" and now you think you're some gift that we all need to bow to. Not to try and get bad blood between us all, however, since we're talking about people we can't stand being around; I'll add that I, along with several others that you were going to meet and *have* met do not like that type of person and would rather not have to deal with being around that type of person.[/hint]
If you choose to try and exclude yourself from the rest of us due to some members behavior, please do so. I actually urge you to exclude yourself now. I don't want to be playing babysitter and have our plans that we've already made be put off at the meet due to some older couple that can't go drive down a curvy road because her kids may spill their animal crackers in their car or won't sit around a car picture meet because there's LOUD music. You're in a scene where the things you don't like, well, are what seem to be roots of it all. Maybe a group Jazzercise session would be more pleasing to you.
Hmmm, that last point is the big thing I don't get. The majority of the people in the import scene are younger. You *rarely* find older people in to modding their cars. Because older people, stereotypically, have to deal with mortgages, kids, going bald, having bad attitudes towards kids with nice cars, etc. Yet you're here and involved with this scene. That alone is somewhat respectable. BUT it's not respectable that you have a problem with the crowd, when it's the crowd that makes this all possible.
Now, I apologize if I skipped around there and it was so random. I just cannot believe you had the balls, or ovaries, to come on here and write this thread, even after our "misunderstandings" in the other thread where you continued to try and play nice. What the hell? My mind is just *racing* right now just because I can't STAND people like yourself.
Yanno what... Here, I'll feed your generalism with some "bad" words..
To me, and a few others (as now confirmed), you seem like a somewhat pyschotic, two-faced, over-worrying mother who needs to lighten up and quit trying to be so god damn perfect because you know what? You're not. How's that?
I assume your husband is going to get on here and try to stand up for you, as I would if this were my situation. However, before you two do anything, please consider what scene you're in. This is basically like me going to a known drug dealer's house and stopping an ongoing party to ask if anyone would like to join you outside just to talk and not do drugs, 'cause McGruff the Crime Dog says they're bad. It just doesn't work. Either you understand the scene and take the good for the bad without bitching and trying to seperate yourself, or you just stay the **** out.
Lastly, PLEASE get rid of that bible scripture, or quote, or whatever it's correctly called in your signature. This is not your church forum and I personally don't care to see some Christian "save your soul" crap everytime I look at one of your posts. If you're so high up on people respecting each other, you'd understand where I'm coming from here.
Thanks.

I hate to add to the thread-jacking, but thank you, t3ase. This generalization thing irked me quite a bit, too. Almost everybody I hang out with is between 21 and 28, even though I'm 18.. and they all get along just fine with me..
As for all the other stuff you said.. I'd been looking for a way to say it, myself.. and I know a few other people who agree.

First off, yes I will stand up for her because what you are doing is not right. This kind of response is not for a 'public' forum, you should have done this privately.
Secondly, she unintentionally 'grouped' people together when that is not what she wanted to do. She wants to find older people that have similar interests as us. Since we have had kids, we don't 'relate' to a lot of 'younger' people anymore. There is nothing wrong with finding people your own age to hang with.
She is not acting like she is perfect and has never even come close to implying that she is. The verse is her signature. If you don't like it, tough. Then tell the other member to take off his Satan Worshiper tag because I don't want to see that either. None of has the right to tell each other what we can/cannot have in out sigs.. What makes you any different?
You people are taking comments out of context and blowing them up? Have you ever heard of letting go? I suppose not.. you would rather just keep picking and picking.. real mature.
Also, she never said that we couldn't drive down a curvy road or listen to loud music just because we have kids. We love that kind of stuff. Since we choose to include our kids, we have to make sure the environment is safe for them. So yes, if there is behaviour that we find inappropriate to have our kids around, then yes we will exclude ourselves. When you have kids, you will see what I mean.
Just because you don't like what someone is saying, instead of harassing them in a public place, try asking them a private question to see what they are talking about.
As far as her complaining, drop it. You have no idea what we have been through, or what we are going through in our lives. It is also hard for someone who has never used a forum like this to tell what is 'playing' and what is 'serious'.
Stepping off my soap box... but damn people.... learn to live and let live...

(thinking to self....) hmm....scripture in a sig pisses people off.....Maybe it IS time for a change in my sig.
The sig complaint was stupid. She's allowed to have whatever she wants in her sig as long as it is safe for work.

momstoy said:i just want to be around people that are more mature.. you know.. is there anything wrong with that??
good luck! lol
I'd like to retract that statement, as it seems you are wrongly judging what makes people mature, stereotyping "the younger car crowd", and just plain offending some. As a 30 year old husband and father who works very hard to provide for my family, I still enjoy the occasional bender, hanging with the guys talking s*** (oops!), and doing other "immature" things (none of an illegal nature, as I don't want want to risk my job). Granted, this is your thread, and you're entitled to your opinions (as am I, and everyone else). There is more to being mature than not drinking, cursing, and smoking (yes, I do all three--sue me!). So, if you have an actual definition, please, enlighten us......(cheers)

okay, why the hell am i being dragged into this?
you dont want to see the words "Satan Worshipper" ?
its sarcasm, for the people who know me. im a "punk ass rebel" so i must "worship satan".
yeah, you're right, i really go home and draw the pentagram in my driveway with some wd-40 and light it up, calling all of satans demons to join me for a tea-party.
If youre honestly offended, then I'm totally blown away.
