All the people with fast cars either joined the military, moved, have families to take care of, or just don't come out anymore because it's no longer worth it.

If you guys are willing to travel, you should check out the varsity car meet in Atlanta. It's on the first Thursday of every month and they always have a crazy turnout(Or at least they used to. I haven't been up there in months.). Just get there early because there won't be any parking later. And if you're looking for fast cars, that's the place to go. But it might die down soon with it getting cold and all soon.

Wow those were the oooooolllldd days in columbus lol no one even knows where american buffalo is besides me and the small group that go there every once in a while

and the varsity is not something most of us on here would enjoy no days...its nothing but stanced cars and donks and bubbles on 28s, all of which cannot park and are ******** to everyone. But a little further north there is the Wild Bills meet, ive been to it twice and both times it was 100+ cars most very nice but still a little riff raff

Also told meets are sonic on Friday/Saturday. Didn't see nothing really impressive out there two weeks ago. But will check it out this Saturday with couple other cars. White G8 h/c/Maggie, pulley, exhaust GT500, and another paxton 5.0.

Would be cool meetup with deitcoke see his 5th Gen make a couple pulls.
