Something that stuck a nerve...

[TA^Guy]

I almost forgot about posting this until I was outside cleaning up all the empty cans from this past weekend.

On friday during the Show N Shine at Thacher Park, someone had poured or spilt a large amount of soda in another member's interior. Nothing was mentioned to the owner of the vehicle and it sat there until the owner found it on their own.

I'm sickened to think that someone there would do such a thing intentionally. However, if it was just a accident, then fess up and appologize to the owner. I know this person doesn't eat or drink in their car so it makes it even more upsetting to them.

If anyone would like to tell me anything or mention something they saw feel free to contact me in private.

[sunrunner_pei]

I heard about it, but I never saw anything. :( I didn't realize it wasn't known what happened.

[Sweet98GA]

sounds like an ass whoopin is goin down!

for the record, if it was on purpose, that is HELLA gay of you!

If it was an accident, send the person 75 bucks so they can go get their interior shampoo'd cleaned, and that should suffice for your inability to just be honest and up front in the first place and say it was an accident

[ga5speed02]

who ever did that, let your testicals decend and admit it and appolige to the owner. that is just messed up

[Jibo]

OMG That is horrible, it is one thing to do that on purpose if that was done :kick: however, if it was an accident, not telling someone about that is even worse than doing it intentially!, fess up, and pay for the cleaning.

[Big Joe]

I dont even think that it would have been that bad if the person had told the owner, " Hey I was looking at your car and I accidently spilled a shit load of soda in your car." I think the fact that this was done and then nothing was said is the worst part.

[JoeyK]

Wow, that'd suck. If it were my car I would be understanding if the person told me right away & it was an accident.
As a side note, if there's not already a rule for the Albany meets I would propose that absolutely no food or drink be allowed near the show n' shine area.

[Big Joe]

Well the BBQ area and the parking are pretty well spaced, but people walk around with sodas and stuff, I mean its a hot summer day I cant blame people for wanting a cold beverage to walk around with...

[TA^Guy]

Well from what I'm understanding we already have some sore losers. No tpositive if that's the case, however I don't think we'll know for sure.

What can I say, over 60 people in attendance had a great time, a handful are having 'issues'. :roll:

Are some people taking it a bit too seriously? If so, it's just a get together & chance to see what others have done. No big deal. Besides any type of car show is no reason to get bent out of shape.

It seems to be.

Lets just say I've heard a few ridiculous claims of things being 'unfair' like judging, my club member participating, etc. Funny because when it all comes down to it, everyone that attends votes. Shoot I even had a non ClubECM member that didn't enter a car help count votes.

I agree with you Joey, it's there to have fun. The first year we had a Albany meet only 4 cars drove to Lake George, the second time was the first real Albany GAOC meet and not a single person knew anything about awards, it was a surprise that we unvailed the day of the show n shine.

Maybe to make it more fun next year we won't hand out awards and just let everyone enjoy seeing other cars. Shoot it'll save us a few hundred bucks easy.

[03grandam]

Hey you cant do away with the awards,ive been working hard on my car so maybe i can win one next year.
For those that think its unfair,try doing some work on your car instead of waiting till last min to wipe it down.Winning an award takes dedication an alot of hard work,and i for one congradulate(sp) those that did win.

x2... there is allways going to be a sore looser, no matter how something is set up... but I agree... cant do away with awards!

[Bouchie11982]

i hoenstly feel bad for that person. i didn't find out until i got back to the hotel. i woudl be the same way if soemone did that to my car, but i would maybe bring it to everyone's attention (that's how i am) but seriously someoen should fess up to it, although i doubt someone would necause they think they'll be hated or maybe banned or whatever.
but don't take away the awards, im trying hard as well to get my car a trophy. i've had alot of set backs for the past couple of weeks. but hey im happy i got a compliment about my car and my rims :D
maybe next year i'll win an award

[RickHigginsHtbr]

WTF??? I didn't even know about this. Whoever did this should be banned from Albany, if it was intentional. If it was a mistake, yea, someone owes some money to someone.

[TA^Guy]

Like I said, not positive if someone was a sore loser or whatever, not even sure if it was done before or after awards.

However I don't think the victim is looking for money, more or less a explanation and appology.

I'm with you, Joe. The Albany Show and Shine is the big one on my calendar. All the cars looked great, including the ECM entries. The competition is tight and I had to take notes before I marked my favorites on the scorecard.

This is the first that I heard about the incident. I know that my soda never left the shelter area, it was a hot day and it didn't last that long.

I don't want to believe that someone would or could intentionally soil someone else's car. I would never think of doing such a thing. It's sneaky and cowardly.

[rainbowbriteboy]

Wow, i really hope the guy/girl fesses up to this because its alot of planning and hard work and dedication to set up these events and work on their cars for someone to go and do this...even worse not to tell. Im glad everyone had a good time and i hope this problem passes qucikly.

[SCGA1]

Well, I was a little upset for not winning in the 'Non-GA' category, but not enough to engage in a criminal act. If you lose, you take it in stride and move on. I just know next time, I won't enter my car. I'll stick to voting for the particpants. G6's are not appreciated. Overall, I had a great time!:cool:

[ramairgt1]

I'm curious as to who's car it was that had the soda in it, I didnt hear about this until just now

[Bouchie11982]

well this was a terrible thing that happened, very disrepectful and such. but let's look forward to next year and hopefully that won't happen again. also, i say we keep the awards, but just change up the classes again so it won't be as confusing. and to the person that did the act....fess up coward

[Riley1123d]

That's horrible. The purpose of the entire event is to meet people who share the same interest as you, and share ideas.. experiences and so on.
I think its really low that somebody would intentionally cause some kind of mischeif against another member. We're not children.
I heard there were bitter feelings about some of the results of the show.. but everybody just needs to take it in stride, its not the end of the world and maybe next year you'll get that trophy.

I think whoever did that should be ashamed and definately apologize (if nothing else) to the person it happened to.

Keith were you in the non-GA class or in the stock GA class? Either way I think it would have worked, in our eyes the G6 is the new GA anyhow.

Either way, if we could get more G6s to participate I wouldn't have a problem with a class for the G6.

[Bouchie11982]

Keith was in the GA semi- modded class....but that'd be great if we get enough G6's next year.

Whose car was defaced?

im not sure if it matters who, it's just the act that was done to a members car.

The second year is better than the first. When you go to the first GAOC meet, you don't know anybody. It's cool putting the people to the pictures and words that you see on the forum. The second year is like a reunion where you know most of the people, they know you and it's a lot more comfortable.

Next year I'm crawling all over your car.....it's sweet.

[levey]

I wasn't in Albany. (duh) But I have an opinion.

I'm not gonna crap on who ever did it, as it could have been an accident. Showing such distaste for his/her actions is going to prevent him/her from coming forward.
However. Accident or not....trying to keep it a secret is not cool. Come forward, and maybe things can be worked out. Personaly....it's my feeling that if the person came forward...offered to pay for the cleaning and apologized...most people would forgive.

On the other hand. If it were done on purpose, which is more likely than the accident scenerio.....I'd be kicking some serious arse....if I ever found out who did it. And with stuff like this....the truth almost always comes out.

[GrandAmChick]

wow, I had no idea this had happened either.

Is it possible that whoever did this didn't even realize it happened? Kinda like if ur holding a cup, n u lean foward, n it spills out? Altho, I guess the quantity ur speaking of musta been more than a slight spill.

By the guilty party not owning up to their transgression, gives credibilty to this being a deliberate act. :(

from what i understand it was a lot of soads, not and accidental drop

[Gimli]

Well, if "someone" has "information" they've been sharing with you guys as to what happened then "someone" knows who and why it was done and "someone" should fess up and let us know who did it so we can take appropriate measures.

The spirit of our club is to have a good, family athmosphere and such moronic acts have no place at any of our events.

I also find it disturbing that so many of us are only learning about it now instead of back at the meet, where something could've been done about it more effectively.

[Riley1123d]

I would bet it was somebody who was just there for that day, rather than the whole event. I'd like to think we are close knit, and people would respect eachother enough NOT to do something like that, but it seems there is always a bad egg.

Obviously I do know who's car it was, however I took it apon myself to make this post so I didn't want to jus ttoss the other people into it.

This person did come to me the day of the show, but didn't want to ruin the sprit of the event. All they told me was that they found a great deal of soda on their carpet and no one saw nothing.

I totally agree with that because even though I had fun I kinda felt left out because I didnt know about all the past stuff that had happened.. Not to mention I didnt know anyone and I forgot who was who.. Keith was nice enough to hang out with me and my daughter so I felt more comfy. Next year will be better hopefully...

I didnt know about what happened until now either.. Thats horrible what happened and I hope nothing was totally ruined.. With all the fun that went on its sad to hear something like this happened.. That really sucks!!

[SE2000]

I don't remember any outside spectators there but I know so few people that there might have been. I also don't remember anyone with drink looking at cars. I think a few ground rules posted would let people proper ettiquette. I was the old guy with the dog. I've been around long enough that I keeped my distance and the dog even further. The person that may have spilled something probally did not realize what happened. They might not frequent the board. They may have knocked back a few too many. If anyone who was there remember anyone drinking around the car, maybe you'll find the culprit. A private message to them would be better than hanging them by the ba***.

Don't worry, Lake George 6 Flags = Teh Suck compared to NJ. Only ride worth goin on for a 5th time would be Comet.... one of the best wooden coaster's i've ever been on. But, ya know, I don't want to show up everyone else that has an eco..... j/k. With some work, it would be cool to see if I can get an NA Eco into the 14's. I haven't dragged since I blew my t/a ( 12.9 :) )

Anyway, back on topic....

Don't worry Chris, if you are coming to next year's meet, things will be more comfortable. Hey, you know me,right? :)

[03grandam]

Hey no one told me anything about anyone going to Lake George.Man when did this happen.Ilive like 10 min from there and no one told me.Well thats just not right,lol.Next time someone comes to Lake George you better let me know,maybe hang out.

Wells it pretty small for a theme park, and Its been around for a really really long time. I remember driving to lake george when I was about 5 years old and that thing was already there, so its a pretty old park.

I remember driving to lake george when I was about 5 years old and that thing was already there, so its a pretty old park. The theme park in Lake George currently known as "Six Flags, Great Escape" was originally opened back in the early 70s or late 60s. Then it was sold and renamed "Story Town". I remember going there as a kid, I even have a sherrif's badge that says Story Town, Lake George NY. Later on it was sold again and became Story Town, the Great Escape. That was when they added coasters like the Steamin Demon. Then it became just "Great Escape" until Warner Brothers purchased it and now it's "Six Flags, Great Escape".

And small or not, the Commet is rated the best wooden roller coaster in the country. IIRC the Coaster was purechased there about 14 years ago but is actually as old as I am.

If you want more specific detail I can contact Leanne's cousin who works there. He know nearly everything there is to know about theme parks and has even had job offers in Japan at a theme park.

Since I was in line for it so many times, I read the history of it a few times. That coaster itself dates back like 50 some years, and parts of it came from another coaster that was originally built back in the 20's or somethin. For future reference, sit on the right hand side, the left hand side is definately 5X bumpier.

What about the Cyclone at Coney Island? I think it officially opened in 1927. Scary enough simply becuz it's almost 80 yrs old!!

What thread are we in again? =/

[TA^Guy]

Mel I never been there so I can't say.

However that wasn't my opinion but the opinion of many groups of Rollercoast enthusiast (yes these people travel around the world to ride coasters). I even saw it on TV once right after it was reconstructed where a club of enthusiast were the first customers on it.

[ga5speed02]

i would love to join on eof them groups. coasters FTW

You guys can yell at me if you want. Lol I wasn't even there, but seems like everyone has this anger towards the situation (understandable) with no where to let it out, so ok..I'll take one for the team....vent on me people...lol let it out and make the GAowners Club a happy place again.

Of all threads for me to pop up in...I picked this one....things that make you go...hmmm...

Just to put in my two cents, the person that did this, won't come forward. If they were going to, they would have already. Hate to be the "voice of reason", but to the victim...I'm sorry this happened to you, but it's time to cut the losses and move on. I know it sounds like a mean thing to say, but someone had to. Tell ya what....if there is any way we can donate some money to the victim....let me know....I wasn't even at albany this year and i'll be the first to ante up....anyone else willing to do this? I notice everyone is all ready to jump the bandwagon and be "out for blood", but how about helping the victim get his/her car situated? Or am I way off base?

I think most of us would be more then happy to help the victim but I think we'd be a hell of a lot happier if the offender fessed-up and paid for the damage he caused. I think this was an opportunity for him/her to come up and take responsibility and, as you say, I think it was a lost cause.

I do think though it makes his/her situation a lot more precarious if/when we do find out about it though, especially with all the pictures/footage that was taken out there on that day.

We want to give the culprit a fair chance to come forward.

[Brken123]

Ah. Ok. Do you think the culprit has even seen this thread? As in, first off, was everyone at the show this year a member of the boards? Also, is there any way to have this thread show up on the home page of gaownersclub.com instead of having it tucked away in the albany thread? Granted that may be a little extreme to post it out in the open, but by the same token, everyone that belongs to this site can appreciate the amount of money and effort that go into the sites members' cars, and hopefully that will be the icing on the cake that causes the person who did this to have an attack of conscience (sp?) and come forward.....again just an idea....I've had stuff like this happen where I work, and it took some extreme measures, but only after those measures were implemented did the guilty party step forward....food for thought.

[Bouchie11982]

this thread has been going on for almost two weeks and the perpetrator hasn't come forth....and i truely doubt he/she will. i knew some people that were there weren't members of the club but i didn't see him/her near the car IIRC

i know whos car got soda, water what ever it was dumped in it and my quess is it wasnt a club member this person is well known and has many friends in the club so its hard to believe one of the club members would do such a nasty thing, like katie said its almost 2 weeks and no news i hope iam right that it was a non member cause if it wasnt and anyone finds out who the scum bag is be very f*cking careful, you better be watching over your shoulder every minute this is why i believe it was a non member cause everyone there wouldnt want this done to their car and none of us would do that to someone else

[JoeyK]

Man, I am honestly supprised how rude some of our members are getting over this incident. Yes, it's unfortunate. But you can only speculate. I for one am not a "car show" person. I would never line my car up in one because I couldn't be less interested. Yes, I let people look at it if they ask but that's just me, not discounting anyone's hobby... BUT if I were to be a car show person I would insist that there be no food or drink allowed anywhere near my car. I do not allow my own family to do so, so I sure as heck would not allow others. It only invites room for error & unfortunate events, such as this one. I would at the very least leave my hood closed & the windows up.

After a while I would try to figure out who would do such a thing and what I did to have such revenge acted out on my car. That is assuming it was revenge and not an accident.

Everyone has their cars open during a show. That is what a show is all about, showing off your car and what you have done to it.

It is also a perfect opportunity for someone who holds some kind of grudge to do something, obviously without anybody noticing. No one can tell what would cause it. It might have been something that happened that day or something that happened last year.

There's only one person that knows for sure and she/he is not talking.

First of all, as I said, my car would never be in that situation. Second, if I did for some reason it'd be no food or drink in the area or it would not be a part of it. To me, no food or drink is a no-brainer. Anyways-I roll up my windows at all times when the car is unattended just because of this type of problem.
My first though is that it was someone leaned in to look at something, propped thier hand on the top of the door, drink in hand & accidentally bumped thier cup on the door, causing the spilll or accidentally squiezed thier cup wile leaning in and are too embarressed or scared to say anything.
But that's besides the point. it seems utterly silly for everyone to be all pi$$ed off about it. I can understand the owner being upset but there's a bunch of people here getting all bent out of shape about it & sounding silly & rude. - that's my point.

Would I be upset if it were my car? darn right I would.

Would I go as far as badmouthing whoever did it or make threatening remarks towards them when it wasn't even my car? Heck no.

To me why leave a vehicle that you've worked so hard to personalize unattended with a bunch of people I hardly know, let alone, walking around eating & drinking? That's just a recipe for disaster. No matter what the situation, when I'm not near the car's all buttoned up with the alarm on.

^ first off, you never been to Albany so I don't think you really have the right to comment on a few things, one of them being the fact that I wouldn't say we hardly know each other. With the exception of 3-4 new people I have met everyone else more then once or twice. There are even some people at Albany I would consider some of my best friends. Also, not everyone one is walking around "eating and drinking" Its not like we parked in the middle of a picnic, it was 90+ degrees we're not gonna tell people they cant walk around with a cold drink. Also judging by the amount of soda that was puddled on the floor this was no accident. Then you go on to say "it seems utterly silly for everyone to be all pi$$ed off about it" Well once again I'm gonna have to point out the fact that you have never been to Albany for a meet so you just don't know what's its like. We're like a family when we're there. If something happened to someone in your family wouldn't you be pissed too. You can go on and on how you think its stupid but I made my point.

Fair enough, you're certainly entitled to your opinion as well as I am mine.
I am not slamming anyone for being upset but there's a few here that imho are going overboard with thier words.. In light of what you said Joe, I can understand why some are upset, you have a point.

You weren't there - sorry, but don't make assumptions about the show event. The organizers of this event were busy with plenty of more pressing matters than "how can we prevent someone from taking soda from the pavillion, walking all the way across the park, crossing the bridge, going into the show lot, and dumping it into some car?" I do not condone insulting the unknown person here, but this isn't something that should happen at these events. I've been attending various show events since 2001, and I've never seen this type of problem. Everyone has a car there... everyone has something at stake. I always leave the windows open so people can view the entire car... in fact I often tell people to sit inside if they want.

Going "lockdown" style would take the fun out of the event. Staying at home over something so unlikely/silly means missing one hell of a time, even if something slightly bad like this occurs. I think the victim here would agree.

You have failed to see my point I guess. I sidetracked explaing why it would not happen to me.
I understand car shows. I also understand how/why this could have happened. I just don't think it looks or sounds right for people to be so threatening on the forums. - That's my point, I rest my case.

Ayways, this trying to explain my point is now getting silly & taking away from the thread. Sorry if I ticked you all off. It is not my intent. If you like your meets, then have fun & enjoy. I am not bashing it.

Well this thread is going no where and since I started it I'll end it, however I will leave it up so the person in question can read it and if he/she feel they want to contact the owner to appologize they can.
