I wonder what It will be like....
Im curious as hell to see What it will be like... I don't see myself still Beeing around as I have been for 5 more years or even owning IA.
But I've seen people come and go and still have some peeps who have been here for the longest.
But how much more longer can we stay on IA...
People are joining everyday and holding it down.. But like our 30+ crowd.. I wonder if they will still be around?
I was 21 when we started developing IA. Im about to be 27...
IA is just getting bigger and bigger everyday.. Will brett and QD still be here when they hit 40 ? Will I be here when I hit 30? Would you still be here...
Who will take IA a step futher? Pablo Did it 3 years ago.. Paul has done it and still is going on 2 years now, I did it 5 years ago.....
BTW.. you never Know, Pablo and paul were once members and now are part the success of this site... Shit Paul has more say so then I do with this site.. Hes running shit big time now.
I just honestly don't see myself as involved... lol.. weird shit y0
Shit I think about sometimes about this site... :crazy: :bigok:

Old Skool IA meets were nuts.. In the last 5 years we have had like maybe 60 meets... Hottest meets were at the toys R Us of 20 in lawrenville/buford...
The Old meets at Toys R us were pulling 200+ cars before we had to end that shit.
I think Kevy Kev.... Im not sure exactly, but I think he was the one with the Idea and made a post about TRU back then on here, blah I cant remember .. But shit blew up.

I have been on IA since 2000 and I dont see myself going ANYTIME soon. IA has been a great place for me to come and keep up with the Import Scene and I have made some great friends and have had some great nights cause of IA. I may be old but I will be here for many years to come

..Damn dude thats friggin nuts..-.-; Im dissapointed..man, I missed out on alot..I hope you can do more IA meets more often, like tha one youve done in the past 5 yrs, that would be nice. ..but whyd you stop all those Meets anyway?
o n yeah atlanta is up there in the top 3 cities for the street scene along with detriot and san deigo.

It started off at the Toys R Us in Buford, went to Kohls' in Lawrenceville, and then I organized the meets at a place on Buford Hwy called Burrell's. After that, they died for a minute until they started meeting at Target and Northpoint. I really enjoyed those meets. I became addicted to to IA because everyone on here was cool as hell. And I was immediately accepted even though I had/have a Neon. Brett and I and our clubs started hittin up shows together and here we are today. I don't think I'll bail anytime soon. Like Leisa said, this is an addiction. I enjoy it and I have made plenty of friends around the ATL because of it. Later, QD.

This is a great question Julio...
Julio..my take on this is that if Paul/You/Pablo ever needs some help in taking care of some shows, I'll help him out.
You know you just gotta to ask. But you know that though.

Didn't it move to stockbridge @ kmart lot also?
nice..you should organize more meets around here..they sort/kinda of died out these meets need help man!..well its what ive heard..havent really been to any meets on that side of Atlanta..
quickdodge®
08-09-2005, 09:19 PM
No. IA meets were never moved to Stockbridge. Most(prolly about 80-85%) of the IA population is Northside(Gwinnett, Buford, Duluth) so the majority of the meets are up there. A few IA-ers from the South tried a couple of meets, but they flopped. I lived in Jonesboro and still went to the Northside for meets. Later, QD.

I remember my first meet was the HiFi Buys meet. About 30+ rolling out from Gwinnett Place. Back when i knew and talked to Eli (when he had to drive his moms z3 cuz his car was in the shop), Aly, Marta Mike, Collins, all of yall pretty much. Met Paul for the first time that day. Thats what got me addicted. I miss the days that it took us a week to plan them and a lot of the people would come...I also miss Mountain Runs...I'll be here for years and years to come.

Im still pretty new to the IA scene but I have made some cool friends and met some awsome people.. the people who I hang out with atleast twice a week I met on IA.. and yes I consider a few of them my real friends.. I can confide in some of them.. I aint going no where.. If you dont like it.. Tough!!
Eh... I'll be here... Im not leaving the so called "import scene" anytime soon. :doh:

yeah i havent been here to to long but dont plan on leaving.........ever!!. i love this site. if i had a shitty day i alway have something to look forward to when io get off work. its kinda like a habbit now when i get home i come staright to the computer and get on here and a couple RX7 fourms and just switch back and forth for hours. all the admins and mod are great and do a very well job keeping this fourm in order and i would feel kinda lost if IA was ever to leave :( one day ill get a 1st shift job and will hit up the north point meets (on my things to do list :D ). plus im moving to kennasaw(sp) at the begining of sept so ill be closer to the meets. it may sound like a lot to say from only being here 6-7 month but this sites great and im here to stay!!!

Shit I think about sometimes about this site... :crazy: :bigok:
bitch you love this shit and you know it... its like your own bastard child as much as you can hate it you can't let go... you know your going to be 30+,40+, 50+, 60+ doing this shit b/c i won't let you quit.
No matter what happens to this site i and many others will always know that Julio is one of the founders of who brought not only this site but this scene together as a big community, think of the 1000's of people that visit this site every day, or the 4,000,000+ hits we get every month :goodjob:
this shit does get tiring b/c there is no real $$$ return on the time/$ we spend on this site, but i will still drive 30 mins every thursday to a meet w/ IA friends as i will drive to countless shows across the southeast to provide coverage for this site.

I see myself beeing here int he future. The reason I got involved was because I saw the potential in the site and I like getting sponsors for it.
I don't really like all the shit talking that has been going on for the pas few months or the bullshit post that i have seen in the WL. The reason being is that if I want someone to from a big company to check out the site for a possible sponsorship, I do not want him seeing threads about oral or anal intercourse.
I think that we can get the forum back to where it was a few months ago and it will be better for all.
We are working on some great things for the site and especially for all of you. S be patience and youi will enjoy our success with IA.
