We have to support Photo's and get it up and rolling again. The more cars show up the better it will be, and the sooner we can have full lot shows like back in '00-'03.Come on!

Got a 00 Trans Am WS6 A4... Only a lid on it now, but there is a whole box of go fast sitting here waiting on me 
Still figuring out this whole post signature thing.
Anyone feel like lending a wrench spinning hand?

I'd rather hang out at Photos and look at 15 cars than go to the train station and see 50-60 cars. The atmosphere just isn't the same there.... no place to eat, drink, ****, ****, etc.; plus no history. I'm an 8th year Photo's guy, I'd really like to see it get back to where it was in '00-'01. We used to PACK that lot with probably 80 cars, and more accross the street. That will never happen if we all just give up on the place.
The McD's at Golf & Elmhurst seems like a good after-Photo's show.

Yeah I used to go up to Photos a LOOONG *** time ago, where if you showed up at 7is you had to park at the church. Only problem is every car I ever took up there was evil and had to be in the main lot....

twizted_creations, is your car red? I remember one years back that used to come to Photo's that looked exactly like mine.
Here's a shitty pic of my old WS6 taken by 97M6Formula at Photo's back in '03 (even then it was still busy enough I had to wait till after 10pm to get parking spots clear on both sides of me):

Swinging on the Lambo nuts are ya? It was SICK, but I couldnt live with myself if I spent that kinda cash on a car. I could think of about 10 cars I could have at that price.

I've never been a huge fan of the Italian cars. I'd rather use the money to buy two C6 ZO6s, if I was looking for manual trans premium sports cars.

Even if its only a few cars now, if people actually go up there, bring a good attitude, more will follow suit. Besides, to me, a close nit bunch of people and a few cars is all I would need to have a good time.

Photo's died out because in 05 or whatever because some local important faggity clique started showing up and doing stupid ****. The old timers didn't tollerate that and just packed up and moved out.

Ricers invaded Photo's so most of the nice cars left. Some of us have hung on, and now the ricers have left (for the most part).
We used to have at least 12-20 LS1/LT1 cars there every Saturday. Just the RPM group alone was 8 F-bodies every Saturday.
