Well I miss the old days, unless I am not finding it anymore. When Friday and Saturday nights were spent hanging out with like 20-30 Mustangs. Not just street racing but just hanging out talking about Mustangs, and Cops really didnt mess with us. Now it seems like if I finish my two project Mustangs I will have to worry the Cops and worry about going to the REF, that sucks. 1990 to 1996 I remember some crazy nights in San Jose, Union City, Livermore, Pleaston, Brentwood, Oakland and San Francisco, also when you could race someone on the Freeway at 2am and there would be no one else on the Freeway so you had all the room you wanted to play. Is there still a place that Mustangs could gather every week and not worry about Cops. Back in the day there were cruises in San Francisco, San Jose and Modesto that were the thing to do and Cops didnt care as long as you kept things moving and nothing got out of conrol. Now with the price of gas I think people arent going to bring their Mustangs out much.

I wasnt around the Mustang scene in the old days, but I feel where your coming from....Out here in Sac, it seems like knowone wants to cruise anymore...Someone who is heavily concerned with gas prices need to sell there stang & get a Yaris....Set something up & me & my buddies are always down to cruise, chill & talk mustangs, or whatever....Im cool on the whole sideshow thing, but dont have a problem with a late night street race.... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

It got ruined by idiots.
If you want to have a gathering you need to do it in the country where cops still appreciate nice cars.

Judging by what you just wrote, the good ole days are still around. My car club will take a cruise at least twice a month. Just this past Sunday, even after the drama from 880 we took a cruise. 18 cars deep, drove past the police station and parked at our usual spot. We hung out, talked for a little while, Highway patrol rolled past, checked us out and kept it moving. This is what we've been doing all summer. So to me, the good ole days are still around.
But I do have to admit, San Jose is the most strict. If you look like you're thinking about racing they'll charge you. lol. Union City, Hayward, Oakland, Richmond, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, San Francisco, Berkeley, Dublin, Concord and Pleasanton are the places we have taken cruises and we haven't been harrassed by the police. Not saying you should ride with us, but if you find a nice group of people that know when to hit the gas and know when to keep it chill, the police won't mess with you guys.

ahhh i do miss them, nobody doing stupid shit to ruin the party [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree. As far as your good ole days, they may be different from mines. I feel I can do more and have more fun in my mustang now, then back in 2000. As far as the 90's, I'm guess they were pretty good too. Fast and the Furious may have screwed that up. I guessing the 80's were even better. Both my brothers had mustangs in the 80's and they rarely had any problems.

I was caught street racing a TT Talon in South Idaho at over 130 MPH around 3AM a few years ago. The cop just asked me to call it a night and thanked me for waiting for a spot on the HW where there wasn't any traffic! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
After that we just cruised, cops everywhere, but they just didn't care as long as you where being somewhat safe and not drinking. California is a terrible place to live if you are a car enthusiast. When I get the itch to drive my car I go on vacation, trailor it to another state, and drive it the whole time! ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Like it or not thats the truth of it right there!
When i started street racing the cops used to come check out our cars and bullshit with us for a minute.Then they'd leave and tell us to be careful.

For the most part, it is not the people who actually own FAST cars causing problems, its the pieces of shit that have slow ass cars, racing in populated areas killing people and giving us all a bad rep. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
