Wow look at all the response... I plan to file a complaint with the local news stations and if they are willing to interview I would like to get a group of us together for the interview - remember that this will need to be totally professional in nature especially since this behavior will be monitored for other future peoples inpact.
====================================

As for Steve riding the cow - sorry for the delay I had to wait till I got to work to download the pic on my work PC as I left my USB there.



====================================

As for the rest of the replies which I took time to read through thanks to everyone who is in support of this and I really would agree with Kasio that please lodge a complaint about the treatment and the fact that they just cost them selves a large amount of business.

I'll be trying local news stations today to see if they are willing to run a story.

Cheers boys.

Those Honda idiots. All they can think about is "race this" and "race that". **** them. They are ******* morons who think their little civic can kick our cars ass. My MATRIX could pull on most civics. And that pissed them off even more to have a WAGON beat them!!

hahaha ya i'll do that tonight and repost the pic. oh and to all those who are still writing their letters as i am a little late on mine, you may want to mention that the cop wrote on one of the tickets and i quote "Driver Can't Park" as a direct remark towards one of our members. and if anyone got a pic of the rcmp officer parked next to us exactly like us please email that with you as well as i didn't get the picture. if we have that we can fight the parking tickets. i've already told everyone in my shop not to go there since all of us (myself included in a few weeks) have tint.

i emailed them, i made it short and sweet. if i made it long by the end i would be mad again and i would of said **** i would regret/ that wouldnt help the situation. i basically said we didnt deserve to be treated like that and pointed out how there were cars all around with tint, and how we arent going to be having any more meets in that town because of abuse. i also pointed out how im going to deter people from visiting sylvan lake.

^^ HAHA well ruin his career might be slightly sevre, but if he was stuck writing traffic tickets for the rest of his life I wouldnt feel bad

I at least hope that he, and his colleagues, realize that they took things too far and that it wasn't right the way that they pre-judged us and treated us like punks.

^ thats the point you should get across. the picture with you all parked as you were with all the other non-meet cars around you was perfact. it shows how you just went there to have a good time and show your cars off when he came to hassel you guys.
