I thought BK had the car show? And do they even go until Nov?! (I'd assume not)

Anyway, there are not a lot of great things to do. There are a few good restaurants in the area though. My favorite is the USS Chowder Pot in Hartford off of I-91 (if you like seafood). There are also a bunch of pretty fun clubs/bars in Hartford if you are into that. Besides that, that car scene around that time of the year is beat

I beg to differ. But then again.. that weekend might be snowy if it keeps going with weather like this =)

Lets organize a meet for some of the CT fbods?

Depends who you hang out with (the imports are out all year long). I do not know barely anyone that drives their RWD cars in November!?
And for a meet, try in the spring or summer and maybe a few people would go. I probably wouldn't though

You can drive the cars up through December. Normally does not snow until Then.

I drive my Subaru wagon on snow days. I put about 25k miles on my Z28 since last December when I bought it. It's good to have an AWD backup car. But my f-bod makes my long commute more fun.
