OMG 
The pics w/ the missing IS bumper and somone else picking up his bumper and sticking out of the passenger side was hilarious.
And the pics from lex400sc was awesome. You can't get any better than that!
Big "ups" to you
This cruise have far exceeded my expectations and I'm very satisfied w/ the outcome.
There were minor stipulations that we came across, like the neighborhood cop that saw us come down the hill from Skyline College and trailed us until we merged onto Highway 1.
(see pic above). Or private security strolling by at Skyline College parking and didn't even stop or anything. We were doing our business in a professional way and the outside world saw that, which made it easier for us not to worry too much about these things. But it got our blood flowing though.
You cannot ask for a more smoother cruise path and less traffic lights. Our entire group stayed together throughout the cruise. No inner city obstables, pedestrians, etc. to deal with other than from Skyline College and entering downtown Santa Cruz.
For sure, I think this SF CRUISE MEET 2 wasn't going to happen. After careful thinking about last year's SF CRUSE MEET 2, I wanted to conitnue the "scenic theme" and ambiance of the entire cruise.
So I talked w/ several CL members and received numerous ideas and we ran w/ it.
The time and effort to put a small meet like this together is hard work. As a result,
the results speaks for themselves.
As we move forward to future CL events, I encourage all those that any little bit of your time and effort to helping and contributing your ideas, expererience and knowledge to future CL events is what makes CLubLexus successful.
I'm already thinking about next year's SF CRUISE MEET 3. It will be more breath-taking and exhilerating than this one, for sure.
And now for the Thank You's
======================
Glen - giving us guidance and the veteran wisdom that you are.
Flipside909 - your dedication to CL and the miles that you burn from SoCal to NorCal is a testament of your loyalty and the success of CL.
Tamr_gus98 & BC-GS430 - your experience and knowledge w/ the surroundings of skyline college and Highway 1.
Rominl - your veteran experience and knowledge input of organizing such events like this is of great value is the result of successful meet event.
**Those who took pics** - Great Job! Your pics become an ingrained memorable flash of greatness to the CL pages. It's not easy taking still shots while in a moving vehicle, but you guys managed to pull it off.
**For those that missed the event, what can I say, the pics speak for themselves.
Oh, for you SC430's, this would have been one of the best open-top rides that you've could have experienced right in your own back door. Oh well, maybe next year.
See Ya'll at the next event and thank you all for coming along.

i had to eject it to lose some dead wait , so i can get my car faster....
so this is what happen my rear bumper is pretty messed up from being so low and most of the clips are gone from bottoming out in the city ...{ got a new one in my garage so dont worry ill not happen again at the next meet i hope
}...so ok on with the story . so when the grafite is300 pulled up front i cut lanes and came up behind her, and started speeding up to kind of push her to go alittle faster ..so she went for it { it was on like donkey knog }so me and her were doing about 120 or so when she slowed down and one of her passangers started to stick his hand out the window , so i thought allright it was slow down time, till joe rolled up next to me and tells me dude your bumpers gone.." i was like great again " 
..so since my bumper is just bearly clipped on at 120mph+ rear downforce drag the lose bumper to eject itself...i was just glad that it didnt hit anyones car...but yeah so that was what happen.....but if anyone asks again its called my rear bumper eject button for tailgators....

Anyone having problems seeing BC-GS430s pics. They come up as all red x's.
Sounds like it was an excellent meet. I wish I could of made it out. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one.
