So gapers dont know how to drive - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

bxracer69 · 2005-12-17, 12:33 PM

Well, this morning was like every other morning. Woke up, tossed on teh board pants, and headed for the mountain. I parked the car went riding and decided to get outta there around noon. Well to my surprise when i came back someone had clipped my bumper while making the corner into their parking spot, but their car was no where to be seen (they left paint on my bumper, but also took some of mine).

Ill post pics later tonight when my roomate gets home with his digital camera.

Damn Gapers

DARKSTI · 2005-12-17, 01:13 PM

that sucks man. hope you get it fixed soon.

bxracer69 · 2005-12-17, 01:35 PM

idk, its not really worth putting a claim on

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-12-17, 04:25 PM

WTF is a gaper?

bxracer69 · 2005-12-17, 05:04 PM

gapers are tourist-y types that come up from the valley or the bay area to hang out at the lake. They are what the tourist industry thrive on. Posers and wanna-be's. If you have ever tried to drive somewhere in tahoe durring the x-mas season or around 4th of july, they are the people that take up the road space and clog the slopes with beginners who ride double blacks and get themselves killed. Up here in Tahoe we call em "Gapers" because they love to come up, drive 5 mph in a 45mph zone while gaping (staring) at the lake.

That is one of my biggest pet peaves, its not like there arent spots to pull over. They really should enforce the speed limit, but not speeding, like allow 5mph +/-.

So their basically like half the population of NorCal-Light, er Reno?

bxracer69 · 2005-12-18, 06:41 AM

yeah, ur basic bay area population mainly

doubleurx · 2005-12-18, 08:58 AM

Gapers? - we call 'em Cods! Never park your car on a corner at the ski area. This time of year is down right scary with all those folks driving in the snow.

LetItRev · 2005-12-18, 11:45 AM

Lived at the lake for 14 winters and never heard the word "Gapers." LOL!!

Cod was the term of choice to describe these people.

bxracer69 · 2005-12-18, 08:27 PM

The car wasn't on a corner, it was actually in the middle of the row. I got to the mountain early like usual and no one had parked next to me yet.

Cod is out and gaper is in.

times have changed, and the term has changed with the generation.

Changed with the generation? What exactly are you saying here MISTER!

I need to go take my old person medication now! LOL!

LetItRev · 2005-12-18, 08:45 PM

That sounds like a challenge to me.

I think you should have a race down K2! The generations duel it out. We will see who gets the girl.

Special. So basically the people that the entire area survives on, since Tahoe is so remote and has no industrial base of its own.
