    I haven't seen any kind of get together among Asian American F-owners in So Cal.
    It would be interesting to put together some kind of C&C/Drives for fellow Asian American
    F-Chatters on a regular basis.
    I'm in the south bay area.
    If you're interested, check in and let me know.

    Can we roundeyes come and take pictures and maybe hang out?
    My car lives in Detroit, but my mother lives in SoCal, so it would be cool to check this out when I visit if that's cool.

    There needs to be a mandatory SAT test and a minimum passing score established before I will attend. Extra points awarded to those of us forced to take piano or violin lessons as children. Double bonus points if you are an MD, DDS, or Phd. Points deducted if you shamed your family by getting a liberal arts degree. That's how a proper gathering is established.

    Wait, needs more rules. Attendance is free if you grew up in Gardena, Garden Grove, Monterey Park or Montebello. If you grew up in Hacienda Heights, you pay double. If you grew up in San Marino, you pay 4x unless you bring proof of a prior fix-it ticket issued for illegal exhaust on any Acura or Honda vehicle.

    If you bring your grandmother (still living, either side of family) and have to translate for her, you get member-for-life status. If your grandmother orders your lunch for you in her native dialect and forces you to eat all of it in front of the group, you can never attend again.

    If your license plate has the number "7" in it, you must either remove the plate prior to attending, or place a sticker of a dragon or lion directly beneath the number 7. If your license plate has the number "8" in it, every other attendee must contribute $5 in a red envelope to be given to your overweight #1 son.

    Will we be ordered to take our shoes off prior to getting into our cars? Also the steering wheel, gear lever(s), and all knobs and switches will be covered in plastic wrap.
    In addition, the cars will be parked facing east and they will leave the parking lot in this fashion.

    You guys are taking this way too seriously!!!

    I know for a fact that even most of professional organizations have its own sub-groups.
    I don't see anything improper about that.
    In So Cal, there are many different ethnic communities such as Chinatown, Koreatown,
    Little Armenia, Little Ethiopia, Little Saigon, Little Tokyo, & Thaitown to name a few.
    Do you see any problems w/ having all those separate communities in a city?
    I certainly don't.

    Btw, everyone is welcome since we all are in a F-Chatter family.

    The Ferrari community is not based on ethnicity, it's about sharing the same passion for cars with like minded enthusiasts. You just have it all wrong.

    CJFerrari, FYI, it is largely the Asian guys here making the jokes (me included.) I prefer a get-together where all owners can co-mingle, but maybe there is a different venue for a cultural outing. See, when we get to share all the quirks about growing up Asian with our non-Asian friends, it breaks down cultural differences. Everyone has a funny story about their upbringing, regardless of what nationality they are.

    No on the shoes because you should have a plastic carpet runner/protector on top of your floor mat. Yes on the plastic protection on all surfaces touched by the hands. Direction of car nose parking is not as important as the general energy flow of cars as they enter and leave the parking lot. Anyone who brings a 3' long WINK rear view mirror from the 1980's eats for free.

    Axis007 has known me for 25 years. I did not get a medical degree nor am I an ME or EE. I did not marry an Asian woman. My house faces the wrong direction. I do not go to church on Sundays. My mother still cooks chow mein and brings it to my house. My children are neither bi-lingual nor enrolled in private school. Basically, I am a loser. I could never attend an Asians-only gathering with any dignity unless it was limited to immediate family members. And even then, my brother-in-law the PhD would get all the attention.

    When I worked with several Laotians and Cambodians, I lived in Little Armenia, which is next to Thai Town, where Indian and Persian food was also available & dated a Korean who lived just down the road in Korea Town & grew up with lots of Japanese classmates [4 of whom I had crushes on] with whom lots of sports were played against Chinese kids from other schools.

    It's a beautiful thing you're envisioning & I hope there's more than one get-together.
