Wait a minute....didn't any of them put their tops up?

Many of us either have no operational top, or have tops that aren't really watertight. (That's mine below.) Most Cobra replicas also fall into these categories.

An overcast morning, which meant a slow start, but we ended up with a good turnout, overall.

We've had 10 straight days of rain. It rained all day and most of the night Friday. What do we have to do to get a decent weekend? When I left the house, the roads were wet, but we lucked out, and it did not rain at Katie's. The overcast and the wet roads made lots of folks hesitate, but most still showed up, but an hour or so later than usual. An impressive showing, all things considered.

This morning, I realized that this year, we are not so much car enthusiasts, as much as sun worshippers. The few times this spring that we see clear skies, the crowds and great cars come out. It sure happened at Katie's this morning!

Where are other places that photos are usually posted? I got rid of the Diablo earlier this year but was there in the orange 05 Gallardo. First time in a long time!

Sorry, I just looked thru my pictures from 05/14/16, and I don't see an orange Gallardo anywhere - not even in the background of any shots.

Katie's, 05/21/16

It was a rainy Saturday. That's nothing new; May 2016 has been pretty much a complete washout. It has rained every single weekend. Well, it can't beat us! Even when it rains, we have several people who show up to talk cars.

Our friend Chuck brought his week-old Macan S. Everybody spent pretty much the whole time talking inside Katie's. There were still some interesting vehicles on the lot, though.

...Yep.

Great weather (for the first time in what seems like months) and a holiday weekend made for a huge day at Katie's. The front lot was mostly full shortly after 6:00AM, and parking anywhere in the complex was essentially non-existent by 7:00AM. A preview of the summer...
