Elks club show in Auburn friday night, it is right off of 290 in Auburn

 

kimbals in westford ma right off 495 can people meet there?

 

I can go. Like I said its a long *** haul for me and gas is expensive! I am going to Patriot Place this week. Anyone else going? Its Thursday.

 

Their car show night is Thursdays. From word of mouth i have heard that sometimes when it gets really busy they wont like f-bodys in.

 

See I have experienced the whole "Keep the late models out" spin to being in a car show. When I was a lot younger, my father and I built a 1980 Camaro and put a lot of time and money and almost the tip of two of my fingers into it. PS, the lip on a TH400 trans pan can be very sharp, especially when sliding off a floor jack because one of the ears got caught on the e-brake cable lol. But anyways, back to the story, a lot of guys would show up with the "fresh from the showroom" looking cars and really p*ss a lot of us guys who spent time and countless $$$ building our cars.

Any jackwagon can show up and spin tires, whether it's some younger kid borrowing daddy's toy, or some older guy trying to re-live the "golden days" of their youth. It's just some BS tactic to trim down the fields because the newer platforms aren't really considered as "Modern Muscle."
There are a few ways to best combat this:
1- Show up and compose ourselves with the utmost respect and make them feel like the ***.
2- If they decide to "ban" the later models from being part of it, find another place that will be more than happy to accomodate a larger group of well-behaved auto enthusiasts and their money.
3- Have Mass Cruisers, or Bass Pro invest in a police detail to help curb the issues they are currently having. Or even as far as that goes, have a few members of their own club stand watch at the exit and get the tags of any vehicle engaging in such activities. Simply turn them away if they show up again, or some other form of discipline.

And as far as meeting up, the 495/190 area works for me. Anywhere remotely close to Worcester is a go. Monthly as previously stated is a great idea, preferably some place where we're not going to be getting harrassed for "loitering" would be ideal. Maybe every other month or so we could meet at a show?

 

I'll be there. Meeting my buddy kev up there. I'll be in my camaro (2000 monterey maroon z28 / ss wanna be m6, with slp hockey stripes, loud)

He may bring his bike, but hopefully his 06 gto

 

I know of 3 GTOs in around Boston...a black, blue and grey...any of those his?

 

He doesn't live down my way, hes up by attleboro-ish area. Only GTO I've seen is a black one that an employee of NTB in weymouth drives

 

Hey everyone, another Mass guy here. Ive been on the forum for years just dont post a ton. I'm from Hanson. I go to the Halifax walmat car show every now and then. Znix my buddy in Plympton has a GN, and two guys down the street have GN's too, one is an immaculate GNX, small world.

 

Sorry, Justin, but HIJACK ON

And this pisses you off why? It is a cruise night, or a local show-and-shine, not the Ridler. If somebody is proud of their box-stock Corvette, why does this bother anyone? If someone's showroom-fresh car is cooler than your custom-built hotrod, it isn't their fault that your car sucks; why are you pissed at THEM? I don't have the coolest-looking or prettiest car, but it goes down the highway pretty good and puts a smile on my face and I feel proud because all of the work done on the car (except the CNC porting) was done by my friends and I.

This "only old cars are cool" bullshit is why you will never see a 1960 or older car on the road in another 10 years; everyone my age (40) and younger is turned off by the superior attitude of the street rod and shoebox guys who think our cars "don't belong." Strap your big block 55 Chevy on the dyno next to my rig and we'll see what's up.

HIJACK OFF

lol its ok man ....it bothers me about some of the car shows trying to rid us but i do know for a fact ive never had any issues in lancaster kimballs there is a lancaster cop there at the street making sure know one does anything i would be ok with trying to get a crowd together somewhere other than a car show also just need to find a place to me i love all types of cars old,new,exotic, some imports ...not hondas i respect people that actually do work to there cars...but i dont like the 60 -70 year olds that forgot what it was like when they were young

 

Does he happen to own a landscaping business? I pass that car VERY often if it is. Try and get him to come to Bass Pro tomorrow.

Someone should take the initiative in setting up a new meet as supposed to showing up at things that have already been started.

Off the top of my head I can't think of too many places but if someone wants to take that initiative and actually get people from the forum to go that would be great.

At the same time it could just be like 10 guys standing around their cars but I think a sort of GM meet would be really cool

Not the same, but the Suby guys do a rotating meet each week. Maybe you guys could do something similar. It's always between Fitchburg and Worcester for the most part. ;P If I had a f-body I'd help out, but no car = tough to set up.

 

How about somewhere on route 20? That's always a fun road with lots of spots

 

Did you end up going? I went with my friend. He had his GTO and I had my Camaro. Parked right next o eachother, prob got there towards the end.

I met some dude with a teal LS1, rarest color, with a NICE cam,cutout, and vette wheels. He was cool, no clue if hes on here.


Saw some camaros, there was a nice LT1 Z28 with tan interior. Sounded nice.

 

my buddy Vinny has a mystic teal camaro that sounds like him in your description, did he have chrome wheels and a cowl hood? He's a good guy!
