Wow people that go to race car events are usually rednecks.. If you consider rednecks "affluent" and of "class" than you really need to re-consider everything you've said here.

***MOD CUT*** Have you ever heard of Concours D'elegance car shows? (The people that attend these events, are people you will never rub shoulders with, even if you struck it rich, not because of money or lack thereof, ***MOD CUT***).

Boca Raton Concours d' Elegance


Ever heard F1 Racing? Rally Racing? NASA Road Racing events? Barrett Jackson auto auctions in West Palm Beach? There are die-hard car lovers at these events. People who understand cars and have a passion from them. Usually people from all walks of life and a true interest in cars, not just fools into 26" chrome rims spinning on a 94 Pontiac Grand Prix.. that's soon to be on the South Beach Tow show.

It is so obvious you know nothing about cars, absolutely nothing ***MOD CUT*** Google it, before sticking your feet in your mouth (again).

***MOD CUT***

Not classy.

If painting your car pink, purple, bowling ball scheme or with some theme like Cheerios on it (free ads for some companies ) is beautiful to you, then be it. But we all know what crowd likes to drive and set up their cars that way. I'm not sugarcoating things here. When I go to race events or car shows where the crowd is affluent, or really into motorsports, you wont see Donks there, but the Donks are at shows where the not so well-to-do/ less educated crowds frequent. It's a fact. If I'm being a classist, so be it. I'll accept it. If DMV were to do a search on these types of cars, where do you honestly think they'd find them?

You will always have an exception there. Someone who appreciates these cars, but does not fit the demographics that'll probably build one because he/she appreciates them. But to deny who drives these cars in general, is lying. Some People are being very politically correct here, but I won't hold back. I got so many rep points on my replies to Surfside. That alone speaks volumes.

I'm all for variety, but doesn't mean I like it all. Big difference.



Again, why aren't classy black women doing them? Because they're educated, well raised, and know better. No, they're not trying to sell out or pretend to be white . That's the problem with mindsets like Surfside. If a black person doesn't act thuggish, wear gold teeth, do stupid acts, they're not keeping it real. That's called ignorance, and that's what these people are doing in So. Beach on Memorial weekend.

You're trying to make the double standard argument, and I understand you clearly. But you're failing to see the picture. You said it yourself; 5 negroes act up and the world is up in arms. 5 Negros acting up, is 5 too many. They should hold themselves to a higher standard. I used to mentor kids in South Florida for Big Brothers, Big Sisters. It was not easy fighting that mentality, teaching kids that speaking properly is nothing to be embarrassed about, that putting a belt on, is part of your attire etc.

I'm not some racist, conservative/Redneck ranting on C/D (if you have that mental picture of me/Far from it my friend).

I'm just being truthful, then you have losers that won't stop at anything to make invalid points because they honor buffoonery.

Surfside, You can feel free to answer. I'm talking about you..
For someone who doesn't sugarcoat things, you sure do go easy on the types of folks who frequent motor-sports events.

Wait, so if one soups up cars, fixes them, gives them their own signature styles, than they don't have the same appreciation for cars as a racer does? Ok....

Well, the pimped out cars won't be able to be shown off that much this year. Take a look at the traffic Map Residents Portal @ City of Miami Beach (You have to download it, the link is in the article).

It looks like instead of cruising back and forth through collins and Washington, there will only be one trip as the traffic headed southbound on Washington will be forced back onto the causeway leaving the beach. Unless you want to spend another couple of hours + in traffic on the causeway to get off and then get back on the beach to do another round of cruising. I don't think it's worth all the time sitting in traffic. The traffic is going to be insane!

Looks like the City of Miami Beach is going the "Fort Lauderdale Spring Break in the 80's" route so people decide to just stop coming.
Beautiful...cant stand these animals.

That's the only weekend that waiters are chasing people to pay their tabs. You can't be real about what you said. You Tube videos are YOUR enemy in this case. Show me one video where the person speaks clearly to introduce their Memorial Day weekend in South Beach.

2. Tasteless people period. Do you think educated blacks go there to mingle with the losers they work so hard to alienate themselves from? My wife is black, I'm mixed and we don't go there. We're not part of that crowd. Many of my close friends are what, you ask? Black, mostly Caribbean. Whether they live in So Florida or not, they know not to go there around that time.
I wonder if race has anything to do with it. No, it's the quality (or lack thereof) that attend the events going on around that time. So again, you're wrong. So the white people who don't go there are just as smart as the blacks that don't go there.

3 & 4. Oh yeah, get shot to prove your manhood. Not going to a ghetto spot does not make you a wuss. I'm not afraid of thugs, but won't expose myself around them. I'm a family man, with a life that does not resemble the "goons" as you call it, on South Beach. You're on your own on that one. Be real. The crowd is ghetto, ugly.

Big booties are nice and all... But I don't have to attend such low quality event to see pretty women with nice arses. Half of them are grilled up anyways. I like pearly whites on my women, whether black or white.

There is nothing tasteful about a Chevy sitting on 26s, with a pink paint job or some stupid theme like Sponge Bob or M&Ms on it. With a bunch of thugs at the wheels. You want classy cars, you want to see fast cars, go 100 miles North to West Palm and see a few nice cars running at the track, or on South Beach any given night. Not Memorial Weekend. Nothing but ghetto cars, ghetto chicks, and ghetto mindsets. How about we have a bet? I will bet you there will be another shooting, stabbing, or drama that weekend. Put your money where your mouth is.

You don't even see tasteful black artists down there that weekend. IT's for a reason. It's not their crowd either. So your list is for people with your mindset. In 10-15 years, if you evolve, you'll see it as tasteless as well. If you don't you'll have wasted 10-15 yrs of your life. Have fun!!
Its good to hear blacks say stuff like this.

I dont think he is a racist, but too many young black people in one place is often dangerous. Lets keep it 100 and really tell the truth.

Young black girls/females go there to show off their bodies
Young black guys/males go there to show off their material items (cars, clothes)
Young black celebs go there to help clubs over charge.
Everyone intends to have sex...even females with boyfriends.
Its NEGROS gone wild.
Society doesn't appreciate young black people who behave badly. Now imaging a mass of young black people behaving badly? I wish their was a Boondock episode based on this event so that the rest of the country could get exposed to it.

What's the difference between this, and something like Mardi Gras? Mardi Gras has been around forever why hasn't it shut down?

Many people acting wild, unsophisticated and crazy, always I've heard many shootings their? Whats the difference between this and Ultra Music Fest people acting stupid on drugs?

White people can act trashy, be wild, do drugs, and do equal or worse things,

But when it's hispanic or black people, all of sudden it's under a microscope.

when a black/hispanic crowd does it IT'S WAYYYYY OUT OF LINE!!! When it's White people it gets talked about very little or nobody says anything

White people are always looking for any reason and opportunity to justify their hatred towards minorities.

I call it racism with a mask, they don't want to say the REAL reason they are really acting this way,

lets just blame it on the event, when really deep down inside it's another story.
