How many of you old long time RS'ers actually know each other IRL?
I've been on here forever but I don't think I've actually met anyone.

I know the original founders, but probably only talk to about 10 in total nowadays... not many current posters just a couple.

In the entire time I’ve been around probably have only met 3-4 people outside my in person friends I knew before.
Back in the day there was a lot more corporate promotion from business where I met Fukamoto and some other people

I've met a lot of people on RS and some of whom I've been friends with for almost 20 years. I'd even go as far as to consider some of them as my best friends. You guys know who you are.

El Bastardo and I used to host stock and noob meets to welcome those who had pedestrian cars like their parents' Corolla or were completely new to RS and wanted to check out the scene.
In my opinion, they were very successful and a few group of people made a new set of friends. There were no burnouts, no fights, no tickets, and RCMP officers even attended to show their support and to promote a safe environment (This was just down the street from the RCMP office near Ironwood Plaza.)
All in all, those were good times. Leave the online personas and egos at home. Get out, socialize, meet people, and enjoy.

The boxes were fairly non-descript but the story he wove about them was seemingly convincing enough! Lol jk

Met lots of RS members through buy/sell, requests for a helping hand, and meAts. Less than a handful of those people still post. Probably be able to put names/usernames to faces/cars if I knew who to look out for at the next track day.

If anyone finds themselves on my side of the pond, open invitation to stop by for a beer!

In no particular order, I've met Westopher, TheProducer, 320icar, RoverT, Simplex123, The AK, 325ismsport, Gerbs, LP-700-4, Matsuda, coneZone, Chinese Driver, Anjewree, kunoman1, Skunkworks, Acethriller, AstulzerRZD, double0seven, InsanE, SwonZ, jpark, Traum, J.C., Tofu, Snowfarmer, pb_e46, jackp0t, MaceWindu, Fafine, Kalson and David ofc.
Pretty sure I bumped into 68style one time but he was probably just another white guy standing next to 320icar LOL. Most definitely spotted each other on Alderbridge once tho.
I think I've met Aznboi but I don't remember LOL. There was also a guy with a 2000s beige corolla that I met and used to post on here a lot. And the kim jong un looking guy with the Volvo who unfortunately doesn't post anymore.
There's probably a bunch more ppl who used to post that i've met in someway or another but aint nobody like hey are you bicbaws on RS. Tho, I've had that happen to me at BMW meet before.
Still haven't met badhobz sadge.

Oh yeah, remembered I've also creeped The Situation from afar at Sport Central
And many moons ago chased down TypeRNammer in his Del Sol on the street outside of Silvercity Richmond, after I was at the bar next to the bowling alley.

I think the last time I was down for a meet was the spring meet in 2011, when I also checked out a couple of GTFour RCs including the one I ended up buying a little while later. I don't think I've actually met any of you but I've seen 320icars RS parked at the spectator area at PFR and BWR as few years ago lol.

I need to buy light bulbs... I know they slap on some environmental fee.
But is it based on per package item or per bulb regardless?
Asking, so that I can budget whether it's cheaper to buy box of 20 or 10 boxes of 2. (They're on sale).
