    Have you been perfect your whole life? :rolleyes:

    People make mistakes and when they do, it doesn't give you or anyone else a right to attack them for it. Patrick will probably get enough punishment out of this by way of a fine or visit with the judge. If he's as bad as you say, maybe he'll even lose his driving privileges for a while. I guess that would make you happy, but there's certainly no need for you to rub it in.

    You and your cohort/s already succeeded in running him out of here once. Now he's back for a bit and you're already jumping all over him again? I think you need a different hobby. Leave the guy alone.

    heir butt, give Patrick a break. yes, he broke the law and it should seem a little lame that hes telling people not to break the law because now it is being enforced, but he obviously has seen many people cross the double yellow because it was never enforced. now that ti is being enforced, he is making sure to let everyone know that times have changed for that double yellow.
    now, there definitely should be no need to remind everyone that the law is now being enforced, so follow it. but, just like the burnouts and such that people used to do while exiting CC mall, this was illegal yet still done. since everyone does it, i think it was fair that Patrick took the time to warn the rest of us; he was going out of his way to save our ásses in the future, even tho he hadnt been able to save his own. that my friend is quite a virtue. even if it was illegal in the first place.

    mr. butt, i know this is going to have absolutely no bearing on your future attitude toward Patrick, but come on, knock it off. i dont know the guy very well, so i wont say hes not young and immature and stupid or anything else that you say he is, but i can say that i have not once seen him act in a harmful, heartful, or demeaning manner toward anyone, let alone you. its time you start showing some respect for a guy of that character.
    and come on, Patrick comes back after his leave of absence (which was because of comments like yours) to tell us to be careful and watch out... yet you give everyone else the reason to tell Patrick to be careful and watch out because no matter how nice or friendly or helpful he tries to be, you just attack him.

    and this is to anyone else that acts this way toward Patrick. i think you all know who you are.

    There's been a cop at that McArtur/Bonita Canyon intersection the entire week. This morning there were 2 cops just sitting and gunning everyone. Gotta be careful... you don't really see them untill you're a good halfway through the uphill to the light.

    I don't think it's the validity of your points that's being questioned here. It's the necessity.

    For the most part, I like Patrick. He's enthusiastic, good-hearted and undoubtedly hard working.

    The problem is that he's got a brain that's wired with 'direct drive'. He never stops to ask, "should I say this?" or "maybe I f'ed up?" No.. His knee-jerk reactions end up on the internet for everyone to see-- over and over.

    To those of us who analyze our every move, this is like nails on a chalkboard. I've done some pretty bizarre things since I registered on this board but I don't really feel that it's appropriate to share that aspect of my life to garner attention.. he does; that's fine.

    Honestly though, just ask yourself if you would have made a thread about this. I think not!

    I wasn't going to drag this debate back to the surface to post this, but since someone else did... :D


    Hey matteo - don't miss the opportunity to harass this guy too. ;)

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135526715&postcount=4

    I mean if it's not a personal thing with Patrick like I suggested, then you'll want to make sure this other guy doesn't get away with trying to help people out with a friendly tip that might save them some trouble, right? :p

    Just kidding of course - leave that guy alone too. :)

    Don't know if anybody is checking this thread for legitimate info about CC (as opposed to for sh!ts 'n giggles) but don't forget that show cars should line up, shut their engines and stereos (Try to imagine that line of cars idling a few hundred feet from your bedroom early on a Saturday morning), and obey the security officers.

    Also, that first row by the restaurants should be kept open for people who are coming and going to Starbucks and Pacific Whey. There are plenty of spots in the side lots if you plan on staying longer than 20 minutes. Have some consideration for the people who aren't there for the meet. Just because you buy a cup of coffee, doesn't mean you have the right to lock up a spot for a few hours and create a pedestrian choke point to boot.

    And one last thing, don't forget that for sale signs and brochures are to be kept on your front seat and not in your window or on your hood or roof. Seems like people are getting worse rather than better and it's only a matter of time before tickets start getting issued again.

    And if this seems unreasonably restrictive, remember that there are a few hundred cars and a couple thousand spectators all trying to share that small space. Don't be greedy. Or check out one of the other shows in the area. There. I did my part. If you have a problem with these requests, keep them to yourself.

    Hey all,
    I haven't been to CC but twice, but I would like it to continue. I'll be there tomorrow and I agree, from the chat buzz and my limited experience, that Frank is spot on here.
    My 2 cents.
    Kudos Frank, see ya there.

    Matt, I confess that I have done this on several occassions. When you're going south on PCH, CC is on your left. When this Texas guy sees the front entrance, turing left into the shopping center seems to the way to go. I never even noticed the double yellow until this post. Needless to say, this post has probably prevented me from getting a ticket next time I go to CC.

    I realize that you must have some history with this guy. But this case, he is on the money.

    Dale

    PS You really should go to CC

    Let's just agree to disagree on this. :)

    BTW - I heard that the homeless women in TO died. Any truth to that? If so, it's very sad.

    Actually, I'm flying out tomorrow to Newport. (Don't care much about the Super Bust.) I have a meeting in La Jolla on Monday and then fly home.

    If you're going to be around tomorrow afternoon, send me a PM.

    Thx, Dale
