Actually, I started hanging around here in 2001. We weren't doing meets or organized events. It was I who suggested it first. A group of guys jumped on it and then people all over the country started doing meets. Some of those threads didn't survive the various transformations this site has gone through but take my word for it, i am one of the longest standing members.
As such, I remember the days where stock cars were not the norm. Posting pics of stock cars was often ridiculed by some of the more outspoken members.If you used copy-cat mods instead of good quality originals, the scrutiny was insane. If you mounted anything other than multi-piece forged wheels, some people made you feel less than human. It was all about top quality and tasteful mods.
Most of the OG's are gone. The scrutiny is not so severe now. But I still visit mainly because I sell Lexus cars and I want to keep my eye on what the community sees, thinks and feels.
But I miss our old Clublexus. We had spirited conversation. Friendly competition. But mostly, tons of beautiful pictures of modified Lexus cars. Even the quality of the pictures was a big deal. People were buying nice cameras and learning how to take photography-quality pictures.
So yes, I like seeing modified cars. not stock cars I can see anywhere or anytime.

Remember all the BBQ meets I organized on my own before others took it over.
Yes, we are the OG's.
I don't understand all the posts of stock cars but its a free world.
Ed why don't you organize an OG Meet. You can have it at LPP.

The road up is nice. The road on the mountain is decent. Basic cracks, pretty smooth, no potholes. Supposed to be one of the best roads in southern California for canyon carving. I haven't had a chance to drive other roads but definitely fun during mid week, late morning. Not too much traffic. A lot of motorcycles attack this road on the weekends and considered very difficult.
