Default New Guy in CT

Just a quick intro to the eastern forum. Name is Bill and this is my first gm vehicle after a few mustangs (22 to be exact) I decided I wanted something different so I picked up a 99 ws6. I look forward to meeting some fellow f-body enthusiasts in the northeast area I didn't know if the pike was still a big hangout or if there were any f-body groups out there but I'm sure I will learn a lot from this site.

the pike in my opinion is dieing. so many have ruined it for the honest people that go there to just hang out and b/s... its very hard to go a night without cops coming in a kicking you out of the hangout. i like hanging out during the day on sundays, its quiet and everyone leaves you alone... but people do still go to the pike and there are nights it does get busy, just be prepared to move around going lot to lot. i live right in vernon, don't come out much due to work but a lot of my buddies still get together every weekend.

Yeah I haven't been out on the pike in about 4 years seemed to be getting a lil out of hand with the cops and crazy kids trying to drift in the parking lots back then.

I'm in Milford too, once I get my car running I'm down to meet up and go for a cruise. I've seen your car at autozone before.

I live right by the Berlin turnpike. Really young crowd kinda ruined it, not worth the hassle. Cops have it locked down pretty good, easy way to get ticketed for anything not in compliance
