And…it looks like…
…we’re rained out again. We’ve yet to have a regular Saturday due to moistness, and this week is no different. It’s just too much moisture. We had to give Mom Nature a few bucks and a bag of peanut clusters to have German Car Day without rain. We know, this is more disappointing than airline food.
We had a wonderful German Car Day and we can’t thank you enough for participating. It was another extraordinary special event.
We did have one exception and that was a window licker driving a blue Audi A4 fishtail down Bear Creek and if you know who they are, let them know they are not only banned from the event, we will ask security to remove them from RTC, even if they attend as a spectator. We don’t want that crustacean anywhere near us.
We all put a lot of time into making this event something special and we’re not willing to let some child ruin it for everyone. We put a lot of time into this, and we will defend it and weed these self-absorbed morons out of the event.
We’re no longer going to involve A/RS4s in any form, even on German Car Day. This has been a consistent group who behave badly, that for some reason, doesn’t police their own, even when they are spectators and roll in as a group. We’re not the ones painting this canvas, the S4 owners who behave badly are doing that all on their own. We’re just reacting to it, as we will with any bad behavior regardless of brand. We ban absolutely anyone who behaves badly, and we always have.
We don’t know why, but we have more problems with Audi pilots than any other make for some reason. They need to get out of their mom’s basement more often. Maybe just get out of their moms. The point is, If you need to behave badly to get attention, go somewhere else, go ruin a clown parade somewhere. You’re well qualified as a village idiot, so use the experience to formally apply for the role. Fresno needs you. So does Cleveland. Maybe there is a piece of wood in your garage you can play with that you’ve been saving since high school. Oh, and just so you know, driving like an asshat is the exact opposite of a mating dance.
You’d think that by now they would have the mental fortitude to know this is one of the most photographed and recorded events in Puget Sound and that all bad behavior anywhere near Redmond Town Center is going to be documented somewhere and sent to us. Even if you go flying down 405. How that works is someone calls you in, and Redmond PD gets the call and comes out to look for you.
What, you think we’re going to be impressed? “Wow, who is that amazing individual?” Said nobody, except maybe in Fresno. They’ve probably been swiped left more than toilet paper.
Yes, as we always do with theme days, we allow some cars of that nationality that we don’t normally allow, so just because your car got in on a theme day, check to make sure it’s on the list for our usual Saturdays, or just write us. Audis in all forms except classics and R8 are on the chopping block and we’ll see how the remainder of the season goes. We may require a note from your mom. We may require your mom.
Just so you know, every Parking Thug is on a radio (except Vic) and we act like the Borg. Anything goes on anywhere and we all know it, and we’re all jacked on Red Bull.
Cutting in Line
We also got reports of cars cutting in line on the corner of 168th Ave and 72nd Way, and we’re putting a stop to that as well. If it’s reported up the line that you cut in, we’re sending you to the back of the line. We apologize for those who do it. There are enough maps and directions that even a three legged dog knows their way in without special help. Please read and follow the directions and everyone will be happy.
Archer Parking
We’ve also had a few who think they are clever and park in front of the Archer’s fire zone and by our cones. We have plans to just tow you, so don’t do it. RTC is not afraid to immediately tow cars. The Archer has been a great partner with us so don’t screw it up. If you can’t find parking, we suggest the parking structures where there is always enough parking. Again, don’t ruin this for others.
Rivian
We turned away a Rivian when our site said they were still welcome. We apologize for that. We corrected our site and I had to do 50 pushups. The thing is, we want new editions to come to E@RTC, but it’s almost a one-and-done kind of thing because of our brand.
We’re not really a pickup show and now they are becoming a lot more common around the area. It’s not that we don’t think they are cool. It’s alway a tough call and we’re sorry for the confusion. That was on us. It’s not that we don’t love them, we do.
We had a similar challenge with Tesla S models as the brand unfolded. We also allowed the X just once. As for S models, we only allow the Plaid because it fits every definition of exotic for the time being, but that too will have a limit.
What’s been fascinating over the years is that you all hold our brand in very high esteem and are the first to tell us when you don’t think a car fits our criteria. Where were you when I dated that road flair?
We will always have ambiguity and we well never get it 100% right.
Let’s hope for nice weather next week! As always, thank you for all your support!
