Hello all, I live right near southcenter mall and I am wondering if there are any local weekly car meets?

In MI there were a few places near me where each summer a bunch of muscle cars would meet up in parking lots and just open their hoods and shoot the breeze.

I have seen a few import groups like this here (strange sight), I was wondering if there were any muscle ones though.

Thanks,
Chris

I wish.

I have yet to see the crew here get any more than partially organized on regular meets. Unfortunately members of the board are relatively spread out.

maybe we should work to truly organize something like this here in the Seattle area?

If you plan it they will come...

We get together all the time down here. You just have to make it happen. Once people get to know each other it just happens naturally.

Hey man, welcome! I live only about 2miles from southcenter mall. I know up in Burien there were allways a bunch of muscle cars that would go up to the Fredmeyer parking lot and park and shoot the breez there. usually only on the weekends though. There's also going to be a car show at my church up in Burien too, on the 31st of this month. Your more than welcome to show up there, its a $5 dollar donation to enter your car. Let me know if your interested.

What is the NHRA event? and where is it? Hopefully all will be done by then and be able to head up.
A church car show; thats different, but why not. I'll give it a shot.

On a side note what is it with car insurance here? I just got it transfered here and its 40% higher, yikes.

Its going to be a busy few weeks, and I still have to repair the fuel line on my merc.

Thanks Dewey,

It was a few of your posts that helped me to decide how to rebuild the steering (Napa parts od the coleman racing sleeves). I have the same screen name on here, TGO and cz28.

Hopefully I will meet some of you soon.

Chris

I can't take the credit on that.

Chevymad (Brandon) who is the guro on all things automotive around here, was the one who sent me in that direction, he also helped find a few of the part numbers.
