3200 cars signed up for mystery Meat 2 in Orlando. 700 said maybe.
All of them showed up. I have 200 pictures but a hi-definition camera
takes forever for me to download/share them with you. I'm working on that. A couple articles.....

Segregating by car doesn't work well.
I've been to meets where they went to the extra work of segregating by car.
They needed more staff and there was a gapeing hole in the middle. I would rather park next to someone I don't know and make a new friend and to shoot some bull about his car and his club. I'm no snob. I get along with everybody. If you like your car, I like your car too. That's why I keep getting invitations to lots of meets.........even bike shows and hot rod meets.

Mystery meat 2 let everyone park where you wanted to. Roll in together, park together. You can be darn sure that if there was any gaps of parking spaces on Sunday, it would have been filled in. I parked in the best free metered space in the place. The lot next to me was empty when I rolled in. It was filled within the hour and the lots
to the North of me were filled within another hour. There were some people coughing up $20 to park and didn't know that two blocks away it was $5 privately and $6 through the city. I saw some more free spaces near the high-end-ridin'-low, guys.

Open hoods are a meet!
You heard me say it before: A car with closed hood is just a parked car, but an open hood? Open hoods are a meet!
I was glad to see an increasing number of females bringing out their cars. It was not a requirement that a person drive a show car to have a good time. I probably walked over 5 miles, shot pics until my battery went dead and looked at every car up there. Saw a lot of the new stuff that people are doing to their cars. No negatives from me. I love the car scene and I respect everyone's car.

When I was in the men's rest room, I saw high heels in one of the stalls. Two of the 813 Customs chicks found a shorter line than at the women's. I thought it was pretty cool that everyone was a gentleman.

He rolled in late, but there was a turbocharged diesel Rat Rod. There were a couple non-exotic cars worth $100,000
One of the donks was so high, the cop could have driven his motorcycle under it.... LOL I was over there shooting the bull with those guys too. Pride in your ride, man! Real car folks don't care what someone drives. Next time you see me, say Hi to Senor Honda! Show me some stuff on your car.-Bob
