BS machine our sig needs updating.


Saturday nights, go to Bk, park your car wher you want at about 4:30 to 5:30, leave and come back in someone else's car. that way you get a good spot and don't get the 2nd class citizen treatment.

That's the only "safe" place I know of where you won't get harrassed, anywhere else, is subject to wether the cop is in a mood or not really.

I don't plan on taking my car every week, but I will take it down occasionally..... when I can't get the BS machine to pick me up on his way there (seeing as he drives right by my exit which is 1 mile from my house on his way there and home LOL)

I will be there a weekend or two a month. I will probably come down with my friend that just moved up here from NC. He has an LT1 and has been dying to see the pike when it is packed, so I will have to show him around.

I haven't been in a few years but now I am back home and might make a few trips up there. It always seems to be a pain in the *** with all the damn ricers flying around. You never know when they might race or make a quick lane change. I always wondered if there was another spot that people were hanging out at that did not draw the big crowd like the pike.

Lots of cops to go with the rice. I was going to get something to eat at Hopps and a cop followed me into the parking lot and waited till i parked my car before he left.

I'm gonna try to go chef.... maybe I'll trailer the bitch there LOL. That is a haul to drive it to that's for sure... especially with the gas prices that are already where they are at That 104 I run was 6.50 a gal. last year, and with super already topping 3 bucks a gallon in april, I suspect it will be up to at least 7 a gal for what I run..... so the driving will be limited.


If anyone's going from my area and wants a co=pilot, I'm game. hell I'll even pick up lunch

I'll be there every fri. & sat. night hopefully. I like cruisin' around but dunkin donuts & BK car show are both usually safe bets. I act. haven't showed my car at BK, just walked around. It's mostly mustangs & mopars and us f-bods always get pushed out back I've noticed. cops didn't bother me at all really last year, they mainly pick on the stupid ricers pulling fly-by's everytime they pass a car, whether it be a minivan or our cars.

Ill be going to BK once more people start showing up, you guys are right- the last couple of weekends it has been all (probably about 8 or 10) mustangs (new gen, cobras, machs, gt's). Once it warms up Im sure the older guys with their super nice mopar muscle will be showing up. It would be nice to get a whole group of us to park next to/near each other one night, all meet up at about 5pm in the parking lot, all park next to each other, organize it with the ta's on one half and the camaros on the other, I think it would be sweet.
