Ahh... nostalgia... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sperry · 2008-03-26, 04:27 PM

Remember when life was simpler?

Remember when 18" SubZeros on stock suspension ruled?

Remember when SECCS rocked the NORPAC convention?

Remember when Gary let us take pictures with his beat-up USTCC car?

Remember when being competitive in local motorsports was a set of Rotas and Azenis 215's?

I miss the days when shit was plain old easier, cheaper, and I had time to get club related things done.

I hope 5 years from now, I'm not looking back and saying the same thing about now!

Nick Koan · 2008-03-26, 04:30 PM

Also, don't forget 5 years ago you didn't even know me. Simpler times indeed.

sperry · 2008-03-26, 04:38 PM

BTW: that first picture is from the first ever SECCS meet organized by JC back in the day at the Starbucks on Keitzke. IIRC it was JC, me, MattR, soulcrusher500, ArthurS?, maybe Khail?, one or two others at that meet. It's hard to remember 'cause it was like 6+ years ago now... and I'm terrible at remembering people when I first meet them. I just remember JC 'cause he organized it, MattR 'cause he had the crazy WRX wagon w/ the body kit (aka the Riced Out Wagon of Fury), and soulcrusher 'cause he was rocking the brand new Outback Sport that he wanted to turbo.

I think there was one Reno meet prior to that one, but I don't think the people at that meet ended up starting the club.

I remember when this was funny...........the first time. When the "baller crazy shit" you had on the car was a set of JIC's and a knockoff wing, lol.

I remember when you guys rolled down to one of the first Sac meets, at In-n-Out. Good times

I still got that knock off wing.

Also, that was at NORPAC... the day after pulling an all-nighter installing the suspension in time for the car show. I was tired!

sybir · 2008-03-26, 05:54 PM

Haha, I know. I just happened across that picture in my hosting and was laughing. In all seriousness, I love you guys.

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-03-26, 08:09 PM

haha, yeah. Remember that time Scott was giving free back massages to all the guys. Such great times.

I'm not a homophobe. But I am offended by unfunny jokes and failed attempts at wit. This post offends me.

It was not meant to insinuate anything gay. Your were suppose to say. "Hey Juice, you were NOT there n00b." and then I was going to say "oh yeah, then how do I still have this picture?"

which is suppose to followed by one of two things.
1. lol, ha ha, etc.
or
2. "I will kill you if you ever post another picture"

MattR · 2008-03-26, 09:58 PM

Sweet Pictures Scott! hahaha...Good old days. I remember the fateful day when that loud guy with the new red WRX showed up! He's still here to! Also, on a side note, I believe JC stopped by to see me at my work in those early years, that's how I got to know him...I think he ninja'd my car by turning my wipers over while I worked. I'll have to look through my old stash of pictures and see what I can find.

SlickNick112 · 2008-03-27, 01:33 PM

How about a year later.....The simple little "house warming party" in south Reno. I think there was a good 5 or 6 of you guys that showed up. That shortly after meeting most of you guys at Auto-x in Stead and the Bully's meet at Meadowwood mall.

MattR · 2008-03-27, 06:09 PM

Oh, I remember that party! I think someon barfed in your hot tub...It wasn't me though.

Actually that meet was organized by me too. It was me, Chris, Phil, and some dude with a lifted RS.

Haha, that's right I did. I don't remember turning your wipers over, I do vaguely remember fucking with your car though. That's back when there was a nasty rumor going around that I was an asshole. lol

This picture always made me laugh...

MattR · 2008-04-02, 09:35 PM

Hahaha! Ass!

Yes, the wrx whitey.

Dean · 2008-04-05, 05:44 PM

I think the first meet i made was one Debbie dragged me to at Starbucks.

Or was it at the "go-carts" at the Hilton? No, that was later.

MattR · 2008-04-05, 06:07 PM

Yeah Dean, I first met you at Starbucks...see my post above...
