Nasty Habits Car Club and other car clubs from Harlingen recently spoke at the commissioner's meeting with the mayor also present about the negative STEREOTYPES the cops have on car clubs. We have voiced our concerns and the impact we have on the economy when we cruise. Time and time again we get kicked out by the cops here, in McAllen and Brownsville. Today we met with the Chief of Police of Harlingen at City Hall as well as others. They have agreed to give us the Soccer Complex as a place to cruise on Saturday nights. It is further down from the strip in Harlingen. They have agreed not to kick us out, no curfew and no harassment from the police unless someone messes up. We have agreed to keep it clean and to participate in community activities. We want to invite all the cruisers no matter what type of car you have to come out on Saturday night so we can show our cars, be with family and friends, and cruise like it used to be back in the day on F St and Sports Complex. The Soccer Complex is where there was a hop a while back with Veteranos and some other clubs. Hope you all can make it so we can show how united we can all be….Nasty Habits Car Club

We've already tried that once and u think Joel even had a police card or some shit and we still got kicked out... The thing is the one cop says yes and all the other cop don't even know... Good luck on the cruz and nice caddy looks better on the spokes...

I WAS THAT THE MEETING WITH NASTY HABIT AND THE OTHER LOCAL CLUB AND WENT WITH THEM ON THE FIRST NIGHT. COP DID SHOW UP BUT THEY WERE COOL THEY JUST CHECK US FOR ANY BEER AND STUFF AND WENT ON THE WAY. I THINK THIS IS THE BEST NEW PLACE TO HANGOUT AT IN HARLINGEN. BECAUSE ANY WHERE ELSE IN BUSINESS PARKING LOTS WE WILL GET KICK OUT BECAUSE IF IT BEING PRIVATE PROPERTY. JUST WE ALL GOT TO DUE OUR PART AND KEEP THE PEACE AND NOT START TROUBLE AND WE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE FUN. JUST REMEMBER IT JUST TAKE ONE BAD APPLE TO MESS IT UP FOR EVERYONE. THE FIRST NIGHT WENT CRUISE THERE ONE MEMBER OF A CLUB STARTED ACTING UP AND STARTING TALKING SHIT ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE ELSE TO COME OVER TO THE PARK TO SETTLE SOME SHIT. HE WAS TALKING REAL LOUD I GUESS SO PEOPLE COULD HEAR HIM AND SO THEY WOULD THINK HE ALL BIG SHIT. WHEN I HEARD I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE CLUB(NON LOWRIDER CLUB AND TOLD THEM TO SHUT THERE MEMBER UP OR GET HIM THE FUCK OUT OF THE PARK. THE PRESIDENT OF THE CLUB DID GO AND TOLD THAT MEMBER AND DID CALM HIM DOWN. I TOLD THEM FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THEY DID TO GET PERMISSION IS GOING TO GO DOWN THE DRAIN FOR 1 GUY. THE POINT I TRYING TO MAKE IS IF YOUR CLUB IS GOING TO GO AND HANGOUT AND HAVE FUN MAKE SURE ALL YOUR MEMBER ARE IN CHECK TO RESPECT THE RULE AND JUST KEEP IT CALM SO WE CAN ALL HAVE A GOOD PLACE TO CHILL. THIS PARK IS BIG ENOUGH THAT EVERY TYPE OF CLUB AND HAVE THERE OWN SECTION TO KICK IT. THEY EVEN HAVE PUBLIC RESTROOM AND A SMALL LAKE AND A PLAYGROUND FOR THE KIDS. WE FINALLY GOT THE FOOT IN THE DOOR WITH THE CITY AND NOW WE JUST GOT TO KEEP IT IN THERE AND SHOW THE CITY THAT WE CAN ALL HANGOUT TOGETHER AND KEEP IT COOL, BUT EVERYONE GOT TO THERE PART. I TRY TO POST PIC OF THE PARK DURING THE DAY SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.

ALEX THE PARK DOES LIGHT ARE ON TILL 12 AM AND THAT THE TIME EVERYONE GOT TO LEAVE THE PARK BECAUSE ITS HARLINGEN PARK RULES AND ANY PLACE LIKE AT TARGET OR ANY BIG BUSINESS YOU JUST ASKING FOR THE COP TO COME AND KICK EVERYONE OUT IM TELLING YOU THIS IN NO DISRESPECT BUT IM TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE I HAVE PERSONALLY GONE TO TALK TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE IN HARLINGEN. THE COP WILL KICK OUT ANYONE AROUND ANY BIG BUSINESS DUE TO THE FACT THERE NOT GOING TO TAKE A CHANGE OF THE STORE GETTING DAMAGES OR BREAK IN. THIS IS COMING FROM THE HEAD OF POLICE OF HARLINGEN. OUR BEST BET IS TO GO THE PARK WHERE THE CITY IS LETTING US. WE TRY AT THE MALL IN HARLINGEN AND EVEN HAD THE OK BUT STILL THEY KICK US OUT DUE TO THE BUSINESS AROUND THERE. THE PARK IS AWAY FROM BUSINESS AND HOUSES IS IT THE BEST BET FOR RIGHT NOW.

but no one is allowed at the park or any park after 10pm, the latest 11:00. Behind target there is the Logan's resturant thats open late. Its a large parking lot for crusie and park. We are gonna get kicked out no matter where we go... thats just my suggestion. Make a poll vote and see which one we think is better.... parking lot behind target or soccer complex?

Going to the parking lot like you want is the same thing with parking at Best Buy in Mcallen. Every Thursday you get kicked out because its a private parking lot. You will not be able to park there without getting kicked out. We have gone thorugh all these steps so that we can permission. We got tired of getting kicked out and pulled over becaue they think we are fuck ups. The lights do go out because they are on a timer at 11 but were changed to midnight with the time change. We are working on getting them to stay on longer but we want to to see how many people will go out. We have a private investigator who specializes in advocating for the citizens and he even brought a lawsuit against the Harlingen Police Department due to the conditions of the jail. He has been this for over 20 years and he has been helping us. We are in Phase 1 at this point. You can choose to cruise where you want, thats up to you but come on now we already did all this work so that we can ALL do what we like doing. The point is we want to cruise and show our cars 13s or 26s its the same concept. The park is big enough for all and we are working on the lights. Hell depending on it gets I will even see about renting the big lights from a rental world or something.

PATTY IS RIGHT WE ARE ALL LOWRIDER AND THEY ARE INTO BIG RIMS BUT WE ALL DO THE SAME THING. WE WORK ON OUR RIDES BECAUSE WE GOT THE LOVE FOR IT AND LOVE TO CRUISE AND HANGOUT. SO IT IS A START BECAUSE YOU GOT TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK. SO INSTEAD OF BEING NEGATIVE, LET ALL GO AND MAKE THIS THING WORK OUT SO WE CAN HAVE OUR HANGOUT SPOT DOWN HERE.

what im trying to also say is if we can get this going, we can have different local to cruise on different days so it wont be a one day of cruise a week but can be more. Like saturday harlingen could be the spot and sunday can be weslaco and so on and so on you know. The main point is to have different local in different part of the valley so we can really have lowriding everyday.

Only if you serious about really having a cruising spot that we can hangout without any problems. The thing is you just go saying I want to hangout out somewhere without permission and expect not to get kick out. You need to take the right step to take so we could hangout without getting kick out. If you like that local by target which I do agree it a good spot, take the responsibility to go and talk to manger of the store, city and cops to get permission to hang there. I respect Patty from nasty habbit car club, for her to get this organized and then to get permisson. Lowrider or not a lowrider she got my respect.

Try it out a few weeks and if its cool with the local officials then we will let the word out. Good luck out there you guys are closer so get a feel for the area before we let the other clubs know about it, get documentation to support us in case we run into an uneducated official.

I appreciate all that are being supportive. For others, like I said you can park wherever you want. Im just letting you know where we are at and this is the good opportunity for EVERYBODY. I know I was tired of parking somewhere and then 20 mins later the cops showed up to kick everybody out. We are in this for the same reason to fix our cars, show em off, and kick back. I used to be in the Lowrider scene back in the day with a local club. I had a '70 Monte Carlo (Boulevard Nights). It had the custom interior, 13s knockoffs, Showtime set-up, and candy paint job. I took 1st place in the shows I it in. My point is, I've been in the same situations as you all. Now Im more into the big rims and screens. I will getting back into Lowriding soon and hope that we can all be united together. Getting different places to cruise is the ultimate goal. This way it just isnt one time a week. We are gonna try it this Saturday and hope all turns out well.
