Charlotte Auto Show

This is mainly towards Axel but also to any other folks in or around the Charlotte, NC area. Anyone wanna do a small meet this Sunday November 22 for lunch and then go to the car show? I'm coming down then and it'd be cool if some future 86 owners in the area wanted to get together. Just an idea.

Well damn, scratch that idea.

yeah but doesn't mean charlotte doesn't have nice cars

I've seen countless ferraris and aston martins,
tuned up s2k's, 370's, 350s, sti's, evos, elise's, etc.

a tiny bit south of charlotte there is an area that is packed with money, and i do mean that...

m5's in that area of charlotte are like civic's back where i lived in ohio, ridiculous amount of money floating around there

Oh so its just a regular autoshow with car manufactures. We have one up here in virginia beach every Jan. I just looked at the floor layout and Ferrari, Maserati, and Aston Martin are gonna share one hell of a small space. I guess that means only one car per manufacture. Well at least you guys can get them to show up, their not at our show and if they are its not a dealer its a privately owned one in the lobby before you go into the manufacture area. Have fun i'll just wait for ours to get here in January.

Yeah but for $6 a person and nothing better to do Sunday afternoon, it's worth a shot. It's better than watching the Panthers struggle.
