zeitgeist57 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Just a few thoughts for CR: 1) I can't be held liable for anyone that spins out and crashes. As soon as there was video of someone doing a 180 on Olentangy River Road, I dropped this like the HIV. No question. Sorry, been a great 13 years, but that was my sign. 2) The outpouring from the community is more than I anticipated. FB analytics are off the chart...we've got more IG/FB followers than ever. Either people want to stare at a dying horse or they missed the chance to be connected and want to know where we re-emerge. 3) We WILL re-emerge. Organized, and insured. The break will let everything cool down as we figure if there's a chance to return or find/secure a new spot. 4) Unfortunately, the "easy-going, casual, unorganized" nature is dead. We'll need sponsors to pay for insurance, and/or FCSO cops. I'm smiling with a lot of your stories. Thanks again guys...my 9yo son cried when I told him I was closing CC&C yesterday but that only reinforced that we're going to have something reopen. Hell, I've literally gone at least 10 years since going to Milligan's CC&C events but now I'll have to join GenPop to see what's going on. Do a little "ghost shopping" of the competition. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 For whatever reason I just looked at Clays official website and realized those blue cars on the front page are me and my buds from like 2014ish. Clay must have been really hard up for content at that point. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erieaddict Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Clay, sorry to hear this, but totally understand. Thanks for all your hard work these last 12 years or so. You brought a sleepless Friday nights and a lot of smiles on Saturday's to a lot of folks in Ohio! Looking forward to the new and improved edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Sad to hear this all went down yesterday. Since I usually detail on Saturdays I've not been able to get out nearly as often but they were good times from the very early onset of the get togethers. Here are a few early day shots from the first couple events. CC&C Meet #1 Meet #2 Meet #3 Meet #4 One of my cars made it there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 One of my cars made it there! ...my Nightster, too. Thanks for the run Clay. Tuttle Mall has a LOT of open Parking Lot Space :ninja: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 For the first time in years, I have a cool vehicle AND free time on Saturday mornings. I was really looking forward to making it out this year Tuttle Mall has a LOT of open Parking Lot Space :ninja: Yes please! This is literally right next to my apartment complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the first thing about organizing a car show/meet but I'm happy to help if needed. For the first time in years, I have a cool vehicle AND free time on Saturday mornings.

Green Bastard Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 1) I can't be held liable for anyone that spins out and crashes.

The guy who did spin out didn't seem to care when he was called out on a facebook page (or so I hear). He has since been roasted by the entire community and for the most part won't show his face on any of the local car related pages. I don't think anyone from the car scene holds you responsible (though I understand you may be talking about the owners of the lot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case: Mustang does a burnie out of Lennox on Saturday morning and hits an Altima full of people, they're going to sue everyone they possibly can. Casto isn't going to take the heat, says it's the Cars and Coffee group on Saturday mornings. Mustang guy says he was at CC&C. Everyone asks who runs CC&C and the fingers point to me. Guess who's got the burden of defending themselves in court? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 This is why nobody is blaming you, Clay. Well, nobody with common sense anyway. And therein lies the problem. Common sense and our legal system make an interesting Venn diagram of two circles that don't overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I don't see the liability, he was in the road being a jackass how would that ever lead back to you? My thoughts were don't let the idiot back and move on, make it clear to others that it wont be accepted. Why were so many people on the sidewalk watching cars speed off anyways?

My thoughts were don't let the idiot back and move on, make it clear to others that it wont be accepted. Why were so many people on the sidewalk watching cars speed off anyways? I wish it was that easy. We were told that we’re no longer welcome on the parking lot...and ever since I politely reintroduced our group to the theater, it was clear this would’ve been the outcome. It’s not so much the actions of shitheads that bothers me, but if the property management is no longer OK with us it’s too much of a risk that something bad will come straight back to me. Everyone also fancies them an Instagram influencer or the next 1320 Videos host...THAT’S why everyone’s lining up for the show when people are leaving the lot. My goal is to do nothing, and over a few months things would go back to normal at Lennox, but unfortunately we’re not going to get a tacit approval back from a tenant like we had with Cup O’Joe. There’s no incentive for the theater or prop mgr to have to deal with the noise, wear and tear on the lot, and the risk of damage since were not immediately supporting commerce on the property (that they can see).

Tractor Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 This shit really gets me, I know I'm not the only one who's been hanging out and getting chased out of lots since they were a teenager. With the size of the car scene in Columbus and Ohio you'd think there would be an outlet for this type of event. I can't do much from where I live now, but if there's anything remote to help get things going I'll do what I can. I'd love to get something official going in the Myrtle Beach area. I personally know the owner of the performance place here and she puts on the Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam annually. Also they just had the Run to the Sun car show which is huge normally though not so much this year and it was cancelled last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I mean, on another angle, we were tired of being kicked out of parking lots and we made it 13+ years without getting kicked out. I'd say that was pretty successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Imagine "hosting" an imaginary event with no real members in a public parking lot. Lol k There is no liability here, either in the parking lot and especially once someone crosses onto Olentangy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
