ok guys and gals, there has been some recent problems at the lowes cruise in.. apparently there was some commotion from the tuners and someone doing doughnuts in the lot... the knee jerk reaction is to ban the tuners.. I say this is way too harsh.. as we all know not everyone within a specific group is a rotten apple so lets please give our support and feedback to the lowes organizers so we don't loose this cruise spot.. and we dont alienate any of the cruisers

What has happened? As this cruise continues to grow, and possibly out grow, we have to be concerned for the safety of Lowes customers and fellow cruisers. We must control the amount of cars to what the lot can handle. With a full lot of 540 cars (200 more than we have actual spaces) and another 50+ cruising around looking for a spot, this can be problematic.

I never said any one particular type of car or manufacturer does not have an owner willing to invest alot of their hard earned money into them. I still to this day believe in my original statement that if you feel its a cruiser than it is. But when a stock mini van or stock explorer comes on the lot with the family dog in tow, I have to draw the line. Or do you want to park next to them when the family cruiser pulls in and the kids fling the doors open with no reguard for yours or canyone elses car? It comes down to one simple fact. The older cruisers feel they started cruising and everyone else is on their turf. The younger cruiser feels they are slighted because their car is a new car and no one respects their love or investment for their car. Right now the cruise is going to be based off of a first come first serve basis. I will not permit any Tuner cars on the lot after 10:00 pm. They have the tendency to show up after everyone else has left. These are the guys who are more interested in their own type of cars, loitering and make it a point to screw up every cruise spot thats ever been shut down. If they were truly cruisers who respect the variety of alll types of vehicles we have to offer at Lowes, they would be there well before 9:00 pm when we are many.

I realize I cannot make everone happy. But I do hear you, and I also hear everyone else . I just want a cruise where everyone has the understanding that this cruise is gift from Lowes! And if I need to make a decision one way or the other as to year or whatever to preserve the safety and longevity of this cruise than I will. Understand this, I am not alone in this decision making. I run everything past the store manager before I make any decision. He loves HIS cruise and the customers that come with it. He understands what I have to go through to keep the peace and to run a safe cruise.

Thanks for your 2 cents. Happy Cruising........................JBB
