What I did this weekend!

[Empty V]

So I know this is not QX4 or Pathfinder related but wanted to share with my fellow QX4/Pathy owners what so-cal has to offer.

There is this car show/meet every Sunday in this good sized parking lot about 20min from where I live. I've been once and only for a few minutes. I heard that this is going to be the biggest of the year so I decided to get the vette detailed and take it to the show. Here's some pics of it in front of the house and some of the other cars there. Cars of all makes, models, and years were there. I've got pics of about 90 different cars and that wasn't even 1/4 of the amount in attendance. Here's a link to the entire gallery

Enjoy!

That's actually my buddy's GT500, he just got those wheels too. He's also completely replaced the braking and suspension systems. The Vette is an '82 which was the last of the C3's and a special edition with the "Crossfire Injection" engine. My dad bought it in '83 and it's hardly left the garage, everything except the paint and stereo are all original stock. I'm debating if I should sup it up or not. I love that car so much I've been thinking of getting another one for cheap just to play with but I'm sure it would take a good 5 years before I could afford it.

The TA and this car were the most badass sounding rides I have EVER heard. The Camaro was totally unreal, notice how everyone in the pic is starring, yeah it was that amazing.

I was blown away when I saw it. My buddy with the GT500 told me that he's seen XJ220's, Enzo's, F40's, F50's and even a Vector there! The only other time I was there I saw a white Countach and about 4 years ago I saw a Pagani Zonda on the freeway right around that area. Ohh yeah when I was leaving the lot on Sunday I also saw an SLR McLaren. There was also a Carrera GT but I'm not as big of a fan as most. Boy do I love LA! Nowhere else in the world that I know of has such a variety of exotics and supercars in such a concentrated area.

What no DeLorean's?... it looks like it was fun.

Where exactly is it? Might have to check that out one weekend.

Nice looking Vette. This is my favorite, it reminds me of the '66 Nova I had in high school:

Not this time but there is a guy who's got one in the city I live in. I've seen it about 4 times. I know it sounds unbelievable but there are that many amazing cars around here. It's funny when I travel for work and people ask about the cars, they're just amazed at what we see, and so am I.

Where exactly is it? Might have to check that out one weekend.

It's in a city called Calabasas,just on the border of the Ventura/LA County line. It occurs the first Sunday of every month but I guess the Sunday before Labor Day is the biggest of the year. I'm hoping to have some work done on the Vette by ext year.

Thanks! This was a pretty amazing ride, one of the cleanest there. The car from the opening credits of Entourage(on HBO) was there as well, I'm not sure what it was but it looked incredible.

Ooh that big 60's Lincoln Continental with suicide doors! Nice!

Yeah I'd love to check that out sometime, I'm in the Palm Springs area for the next 6-8 months, so if I'm ever out in those parts on a weekend I'll definitely head over there. I love classic cars, mucle cars and exotics. Your Vette looks really nice too. I like the C3 a lot and that color looks amazing. What work are you doing to the Vette?

I was wonder why you were asking when your profile says Canada It happens the first Sunday of every month. Let me know if you ever want to come out, I'll show up with the Vette. Right now some of the work is minor fixes. Passenger side window needs to be fixed, passenger side door lock has fallen apart. It need new bumpers, the plastic ones flex and there's no flexing agent in the paint so the paint is cracked. I'm thinking about making fiberglass bumpers for it. So basically it needs a whole new paint job which sucks because I really dig the color and it'll be tough to match. And then there's the engine work. I was thinking about putting some new aluminum heads on it or just finding a junked engine and throwing it in and fixing it up. I'd save the old one so I can still have it as all original if I want to go back. Tough call.

Thanks I'll let you know. Yeah, its nice to keep older cars all original but sometimes it just isn't possible. How many miles on the original motor?
