What can I say? It was a great day! There were plenty of looks from everyone, young and old. There was lots of cruising, quick stops for pictures, people pulling over and getting out to give us thumbs up as we passed and lots of jaws dragging on the ground when they saw not 1 but 10 Chevettes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We left an impression on lots of people today. The smiles, laughs, and memories that these cars bring make it worth it. Even better are the people in the cars, albeit we can be a bit strange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went for dinner at the flying saucer. I had a couple talk to me for what seemed like forever, he was fascinated that there were so many. When I went to cash out the waitress asked me a seemingly simple question. \u201cAre you guys all friends?\u201d While this seems like a fairly innocent question, it was her tone and expression. She came across surprised that this weird group of people wouldn\u2019t be the \u201ctypical\u201d type of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I quickly responded with \u201cif you look in the parking lot, you\u2019ll see a bunch of odd little cars. That\u2019s us, we collect them and we get together every year and drive around.\u201d She did the \u201c ahh cool\u201d and that was the end of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This whole situation got me thinking. We are not typical friends. We are a group of people from all walks of life, all shapes and sizes and lots of personalities. We are a group of people with a common interest, a common passion and some of the coolest people I have ever met!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s these bonds and these friendships that keep this passion and these cars alive. We are all very different people and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All these little cars, parked in a row. All so different yet the same. Just like the owners and the friendships that these little cars have helped grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone that came out and made this another successful meet in the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next year!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. – enjoy this little photo gallery of the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n\n\n\n
