Facebook groups seem the way to go these days, but gather a rather unpleasant crowd from the ones I've been. Even the 86NE Cars and Coffee group. 86ONE is basically non existent nowadays.

CT has a curse, no matter what they try, meets are plagued with people who don't deserve to drive. Less call themselves car enthusiasts.

PNW groups hold (held?) their own well. There were over a hundred cars at the first one I attended in '14. ...jeez, weird to type that. Feels like just yesterday.

From Facebook. I can't take credit.


I look like I don't belong and just wandered in from some nearby institution.

That happened in a span of five minutes when I drove through a cloud of them. The locals all knew the spot. I forget the town. There's a famous track nearby.

It looks like you're checking out that girl by the table. Can't tell if you have a hand on your belly while doing it.

Lol I had to. That would be my worst nightmare. Im honestly very jealous that I'm probably never going to be able to be to experience a meet of that magnitude.
