The automotive complex is rather redicamous...

Example:
The Viper has a old Lambo sources v10 motor, the model is owned by Chrysler, which is owned by Fiat... Fiat also owns Ferrari, who then helped SRT tune the Viper per Fiat direction... Thus Ferrari tuned an old Lambo engine...

i kno...

Dont get me started on the complexities of the auto industry...

When people tell me they dont like company A due to reliability issues... my head usually explodes, as the parts suppliers are so interconnected... almost all manufacturers share platforms, engines, components with rivals... in Vdubs case... chrysler just MAKES their minivans. they also made a Dakota clone for mitsu

Bingo... i remember that...

Its nuts, and its why that massive automotive bailout was needed... the Detroit 3 were large enough to take down most of the worlds parts suppliers... which would bring down the rest of the worlds manufacturing base. Ford actually bailed out many of their own suppliers without gov help. they floated their debt.

Oops, forgot to remind people: StangerGT will have his portable grill at the meet. If you want some foodstuffs cooked, bring it.

Here are some photos from today's College Park Meet. It was a bit chilly but not too bad. Met some new folks and enjoyed a nice meet. I didn't see nearly as many cars out for this meet as last year but still lots of nice cars overall. MAZOC had a good turnout and next year we'll need to remember to bring the MAZOC Banner to hang from the awning. Good to see everyone who made it and it was good to meet those of you who joined for the first time.

Oh and Shahid stayed awake the whole time!

The group waiting to the rest of the group to show up. It was 41 degrees at that time. Plenty of sun though!

Upon arrival:





Rob polishing the pipes.


Dee and NISMO (I failed to get a pic of Dee and Anna)

Looking down the line:


Pat's Abarth managed to hold it's own.
