Vic - that is a shame. I just picked up a property in Loreto (1/2 way down the baja). I am sure we could retrofit some off road tires!!

lol it would be funny if you made sure you got there first and parked in that exact spot, and when everyone started showing up they rolled right past you. That would be an epic fail LOL

Are you guys sure that Hooters and the shopping center management is cool with us taking over 100 parking spaces? I'm not trying to be buzz kill but i was at an event here in chicago last year, same scenerio but not as many cars, we had permission from one establishment but the manager of the bed bath and beyond called the cops and the shopping center management and had us removed.

I'm not second guessing anyone, you guys look like you have organized an awesome event, I just don't want to see it all go to waste. Make sure you guys dot your I's and cross yourT's.

Bro, EPIC fail would be if I got investors together, bought the shopping center, had my name painted on that spot, and then found out that the spot I want is 175ft away. Already occupied by you.

Maybe if everyone made reservations at Hooters there may not be a problem. It would be just one of those coincidences, 100 reservations all made by people who drive MBZ's.

Bed Bath and Beyond called the cops? that sucks!

I've been working with Hooters Management, met and talked with them a few times over the last few weeks, they have reassured me that there won't be any problems with the amount of cars expected to come. We even went through the city to get some permits, but we were told it wasn't necessary. Everything should be fine.

This Hooters does a lot of these meets/shows, maybe not this size, but im sure their neighbors are used to it. Actually a few of those retail shops are not even being used. As long as everyone is cool and doesn't do anything too crazy in the parking lot, we should be good and it will hopefully turn into an amazing MB event...

Cool, sounds like you have already covered all your bases. I was never second guessing you but after I saw that Google Earth shot of the lot and the fact that the entire plaza shares the same lot it gave me flashbacks of the "Bed Bath and Beyond" incident here at a Euro Sunday event in Chicagoland last spring.

Thanks for your efforts on planning this event, in just happy that my car and I just happened to be out there at the same time as this event.
