Default Car gathering last night

I have been watching the Northeast section a lot and noticed a car gathering was going on about 5 miles from home. Some of the C5 and C6 guys were talking about it so I asked if an old C3 would be welcome. Sure come on out. Well it was pretty much a ricer crowd and 8 or so C5/C6 Vettes. I pull in with my old school carbed C3 and most of the ricer crowd could not beleive it. I was by far the oldest car there so naturally it got a lot of attention. As much as Ithought this was going to be a short night it turned out pretty good. Most everyone was very respectful and everyone seemed to mingle pretty good. Just a bunch of car guys getting together and BSing each other about how fast we can all go. Some bada** rice rockets there also. The detail these guys go into is pretty incredible. As long as it stays calm the cops said OK. They cruised through a few times and it was all good. I ended up staying until 11, wayyy past my usual bedtime on a Tuesday. Spent most of the night with the Vette guys, one C5 is running 9.3s at 150+. Turboed 402 LS motor. Good fun and I'll probably visit again. I was definitly the orphan child at this event but it did not matter. Most guys really apprecuiated the old iron coming out. Lots of from the crowd.

It is every Tuesday night at the Mt Laurel Best Buy/Dicks parking lot. Home Depot is right near by also. Right off 295 and Rt 73

Good picture of the Vettes at the Best Buy. The black one next to my red 72 is the one that runs 9.3s
