I'm in Costa Rica (humblebrag) right now, so haven't seen the news stories. My Facebook is full of stories and pictures from the event though. Brawls, horrible accidents, overwhelmed PD, EMS, and FD, shootings, etc.. Anyone got some stories to share?

Had no idea what you're talking about but was intrigued by the topless part so googled it... You're talking about a bunch of Jeep dorks?! Very disappointing and lame...

The time I went a few years ago, there were plenty of topless women too.

If the girl I worked with that had a go topless sticker on her Jeep is any indication of the people that show up you aren't missing much.

Jeep dorks are slightly less annoying than kolache dorks.

This is a terrible take. Lobby against TOBA if you hate it.


Driving on beach is trashy. Let me know where I can sign the petition

The majority of people there were not Jeep people. This whole weekend has gotten way out of hand. It will go the way of Kappa weekend.

For Kappa weekend, we would have to close the shipyard and most local businesses ended up shutting down for fear of looters.
The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Wait, someone thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to drive a low profile two-wheel drive sports car on the beach near the water??

we live on the peninsula and its no longer controlable. There were'nt any shootings that we're aware of. But, they need to take their drunken, nasty selves elsewhere. People who rent their houses out for that weekend are discussing the possibilities of not renting that weekend, so that will help and if more businesses close, that will help a lot as well.

Being a POS that leaves trash on the beach and is a general dbag is trashy. Using a weekend like this as an excuse to act like a POS is trashy. Being a roided up moron looking to fight everybody because roid rage is trashy.

Driving on the beach isn't.

HTMFH.

That happens in Surfside a lot on Memorial and 4th weekends. When Galveston outlawed alcohol on the beach, the dregs of society from Houston started invading Surfside. Charlie Foxtrot of epic proportions. Lots of folks said "nope!" after the first couple of years.

Don't ever join in on any kind of open access festival/celebration, it is going to be garbage. Half the reason people like college so much is that everyone there had to pass some measure of minimal mental competency to get in; it seems like freakin' utopia compared to out in general population.

If an event is based around anything mechanical/automotive, there will be an added attraction to yokels and it will be all the worse. Eventually it all turns into a Juggalo gathering.

My cousin is at UTMB right now because he was given jello shots that unknown to him was laced with something. He was found unconscious and not breathing on the beach by emergency services. BAC was over 3 times legal limit. Lucky to be alive, hopefully he will be discharged later today.

Lacing Jell-O shots with something wouldn't have given your cousin a 3x BAC. That's all booze. Not saying he didn't get slipped something, but that's not what caused the 3x BAC.

I did mean to infer that whatever drug was in the shots impacted his bac.

In 10 years, when he writes about the ordeal, do you think he will finish the story?

Adding "like jello shots at a Juggalo gathering" to my list of similes for "things to be avoided".

this guy and his BMX biker friends didn't have rides hot chicks wanted to be seen in nor did they get invited to ride with hot girls.

That teenage angst must be killing you, bud. Lashing out at texags is certainly the best way to heal those wounds.

glad you had a good time at the jeep fest. Sorry it may be the last. Maybe you can all hang out at the Wal-Mart parking lot next year.


and I'm not talking about driving on a remote beach somewhere looking for a spot to fish. I'm talking about those people the drive their vehicles up and down the beach where families are gathered.

Bolivar has been a ****-show for 30 years or more.

On a larger scale, all this seems pretty tame and par for the course. Back in the 80s and 90s there was no social media so you either had to be there or hear the story from someone who was there.

Now it just seems like massive chaos but, all things considered, its probably a but tamer than it use to be.

On a side note:

Any one remember the girl that was kidnapped from in front of a beach house on Bolivar and never seen or heard from again?

Girl had a young daughter and worked at a law firm in Galveston or something. Walked out front of a rented beach house to smoke or something and flat out disappeared.

That story has always bothered me.
