Sure thing, I will say this GME is pretty chill a lot have ion redlines and cobalts, but I should be there for a little bit tonight before heading over to bob's big boy.

There is a G8 with LT's ory and cb with cai making about 395 to the wheels. One guy comes out with his Maggie GTO. I have my fbody, there are a few random other fbodies that come out and a nova came once or twice. It is pretty cool.

Well there was some issue between one of their members and the president of GME. I won't go into it because it is not my place and well it is the past but GME is a great group of people who love all GM vehicles, so unfortunately it is pretty exclusive to GM only. I was talking with the president his name is daniel and he is hoping to get more fbodies out, they have the G8 guy and GTO guy working on getting more of those cars as well. It is a chill meet.

Yes this is true but hey it happened I know few still are not very pleasant, all I know is hey any GM vehicles are welcome, no drama, just chill relax time. I will personally say it's a cool group to chill with.

Yeah I understand that but I am just sayin for those who like to hang out with other GM owners this is a chill meet. If you want all inclusive motorgen is tonight too. Thats all no hard feelings from me I am just trying to help them get back up to how it used to be. Pre drama even when the old president was there I know the history and it is pretty neat.
