Went to Best Buy on Old Country Road Westbury tonight. It was empty. Got there at 9:44pm and not a single car. Drove around looking for lots with cars, nothing. Came back to Best Buy to meet up with brabusw209amg (John) with his friend's (John) E92 M3. A couple of kids with their E92 M3, C350, Porsche Cayman was there. Cops came and told us we can't hangout here. We drove around to different spots where they usually go if the cops came. Nothing.

I hear stories about 100+ cars. What's happened tonight.

Where you been? The Best Buy nights got shut down about 5 months ago. They then moved to the parking lot next door, which I believe is a Sports Authority (next to AppleBee's). That too, got shut down. The cops were busting people left and right for tint, no front plates and they even started having undercover, young rookie cops dress up as car enthusiasts and mix in with the crowd. They then started busting kids for drugs, doing burnouts and so forth. People got fed up. It wasn't worth it anymore. It's over.

And yes, they used to be great. It sucks, because it was a great event, but you had some little dipshits that had to ruin it for everyone. In years prior, the cops would come by, but not harass us. That changed when complaints started rolling in about drag racing and burnouts. Stupid.

Oh well...

Wasn't planning to go. Eugene said he's going there. So I figured I'd go and check it out.

Young kids with E92 M3's. One of them told me he had a 535i and crashed into his younger brother's 335i in rainy weather going 20mph. Now the older brother got a Porsche Caymen and the younger brother got a E92 M3. Must be nice to have rich parents. Kid with the M3 got Meistershaft exhaust and Vorsteiner diffuser. Tips didn't fit the diffuser so he plans to sell it.

That really sucks that the whole thing got shut down due to some stupid moves made by a few others.
