A&W cruise night this friday

East end A&W on victoria avenue in regina has a cruise night I heard at 6pm this friday,and alternating everyother week with the north Albert A&W on the following wednesdays.

I think if any of us were to show up, it would be awkward.
I went to one, and I got the impression quite quickly that I wasn't welcome

I went to one of those on Albert St. last year when I still had my Celica. I had put on my black hood and headlight covers at the time. Anyone who saw me show up basically gave me the look saying "Go inside, get your food, get the hell out of here."

you mean that shitty a&w with zero parking space

the north a&w on their sign says cruise night as well

Let's be honest if those guys came to our meets we would act the same way, to a degree. Some A & W events are planned by the A & W owners and they mostly are in search of classic cars, that may start to change. There is a chance that we may be invited to one next year but we will see.

On a side note the 306 guys want to start planning weekly meets but have been coming up short, maybe we can contribute to those, they have been pretty successful in S'toon.

yeah the stoon meets have like 40 + cars twice a week .

40 cars.. holy shit

You have to give people a chance to know you, it is always awkward at first. I have never had a problem at any event. Sometimes I stop, sometimes I cruise through just to take a peek at the cars, usually only because I am supposed to be somewhere else. Everyone is welcome, just be polite and respectfull, try and have your car clean and introduce yourselves. If you support local cruise nights, they will get to know you and come and support your local events too. If you ever have a problem and do not feel welcome at these events come and see me, my name is Jason and I drive the big flat black Suburban on 20's. I am a car enthusiast and support all aspects of the hobbie and uasually not a complet ahole.

As for the lack of parking, I know it sucks, but we are starting there on friday at 6pm and then around 9pm we are gonna just cruise over to the north A&W to end out the night as sort of a universal car meeting place. If you do not want to come to the east end, just come to the north one around 9 or after.

To help you be accepted, there are a few easy things to do to help. Alot of guys have owned their cars for a long time and some have spent a fortune on them so they tend to get grouchy if you rev your engine in the parking lot while you are driving between their cars, or spinning tires in the parking lot. If you cruise in slowly through the lot you instantly move up the respect ladder. Also try to avoid leaning on their cars. Other than that they pretty good guys and gals, and they remember they were once your age as well and they will understand your car scene, just introduce youselves, or ask them questions about their cars.

as the batman movie says, "some people just wanna watch the world burn"

Your comments are some of the most depressing to read........ not a bad thing, just sayin (your view on life is bleak and dark)

Prostate cancer doesnt always make it hurt to pee. It is also catagorized by other things like frequent urination, increased urination at night, trouble keeping a steady stream of urine or even blood in the urine.
I guess these are all things that would make someone grumpy though.

comments like this, and we wonder why we arent welcome?

wheres kyle with the face palms?

my view on life isnt bleak, its fact that people in their fifties are sucesptable to prostate cancer.

your right layne that would make you grumpy which is why they go out buy a car to make themselves feel better.

there prob great guys but ive noticed any time theyre parked or something ill go take a look not saying anything or even in a car and they just glare me down and are unfriendly in general.

and earl lighten up its a comment, no need to worry theyre isnt like anyone over 24 on this site anyways

Reason being there has been incidents in the past.. And some of those cars have paint jobs worth as much as your car.

I find most of the muscle car guys don't respect imports cause there is no replacement for displacement.... and they don't like to believe that imports can keep up or be faster than their cars. I can respect that their cars are nice but they can't respect us for what we do. They grew up in that time and that's what they like and we grew up in this time and it's what we like but we still seem to respect them for everything they do to their vehicles.

yes ryan i did suprisingly cause im drunk as fuck.

and supra, i dont give a fuck how much their paint is worth, just cause they spent alot of money doesnt mean they get to be total douche bags to everyone.

the no replacement for displacement is funny tho, half there cars would get raped by a third the displacement.

I dont belive they are "all" like that. Its no different that most peoples view on mustang owners.. Not all of them think they are the cats pajamas (but yes a lot do)

sorry all is the wrong word but all the guys who i see at A&W cause yes i stop there or the people at the ledge on sunday afternoons seem to be so angry and grumpy, i respect there car and show interest in it but they treat me like shit. If they treated me better id have a better view on them.

Im only saying if your a true enthuisiast you respect all aspects of the hobby not just yours

I painted my car in my garage, and I still get pissed when people lean against it, or touch it with their hands. fuck, its not your car, don't touch it.
When you spend time working on something trying to get it to be jsut how you want it, or to the best of your ability, you don't want to take any chances.
I don;t let my white car sit outside when it rains.
Anal? most definately, but its something I've spent 4 years trying to get it the way I want it.
I can respect their philosophy though.
A TRUE enthusisiast wil lrespect any car, aslong as the owner put time/money into getting it to how they want it, and the owner isn;t a tool.
Most of us aren;t true enthusiasts, most of us have the "I'm better than you" mentality. I've done it more than once on any given night. Some tool in a mustang(not you supra) pulls up beside me, and kinda laughs to himself, instantly, right then and there, red flag, this guy is a chump with a tiny dick. that stereotype pops into my head.
But if a guy with a mustang pulls up, gives me a thumbs up, he'll get one in return, regardless of his car.
I made an effort to give the thumbs up to some guy in a heavily modified STI today. and it was the one with the ugly headlights. I can respect the time and effort that went into it.
I think more of us need to work on that mentality
