That's why I love the local w-body.com meets I've been putting together for the last 5 years (in fact, I started them DUE to the attitude I found at the ILGPC meets/website). Different group of people who mostly started out having Gen I w-bodies, and have a different mentality when it comes to cars in general. All we do for our meets is get together to eat (restaurant in bad weather, cookouts in good weather), yet the meets last for hours. For example, at a typically Fuddrucker's meet, we park our cars together and wait for everyone to show up from noon till about 2, go inside to eat around 2:30 or 3, car talk ensues after eating till around 4 or 5, and then we go outside to "leave".....and end up talking some more till 6 or 7.Originally Posted by Bio248
By contrast, the one and only time I made the mistake of advertising these meets on ClubGP, which ended up being a Gen II GP fest, everyone wanted to eat almost immediately. So we went in to eat at about 1 or 1:30 (before everyone got there), were done and out of there by 2:30, went across the side street to a big empty lot and took pics till 3 or so.......and then..... everyone went home. Now don't get me wrong, we had our 2nd best turnout at that meet, and I didn't have any specific problems with anyone per se, but it was just the overall vibe. There was not much to discuss besides mods to do to the L67/'97 & up GPs. No one really seemed to want to just talk cars in general. I decided it was best to just stick to our original group, so I went back to only advertising our meets on w-body.
