Once a car enthusiast always a car enthusiast. Age is no barrier.

And gas was $0.25 a gallon. Yup, they used to sell it by the gallon in Canada a long long time ago in gas stations that sold no milk or bread. Places like Texaco, BP, ESSO and they put a Tiger in you tank as well.

Waah, way to get all defensive
IMO, if an older gentleman showed up to a G/Z meet, there'd be nothing wrong with that. The point I'm trying to make is not that he is too old to be a car enthusiast, but that he has nothing in common with a bunch of teens. I guess that's why he spent so much of the night talking with us instead. They were doing burnouts, and just generally being silly and immature, even I would not go to a meet like that again, and I'm only 5 or so years older than them.

So is there going to be another meet scheduled in a bit more advance to ensure more than 2 G's show up at the meet?
i like that the 350Z friends come as well as the G's and all ages are more than welcome at any meet.
so any proposed dates for a regularly scheduled meet, bi weekyl or monthly at the vaughan mills parking lot near the timmy's?
