PA GTO owners

You deserve a reply.
I'm in VA, but I did buy my GTO at Harrisburg.
Not sure what to tell you about shows; went to a muscle car show this weekend, but it was all pre-78 models. Hope they have one that lets newer cars in, then I could bring 2 of them!
Good luck rounding up other owners in your area. GTO's are pretty scarce- - unless you're in CA or FL

Faulkner Pontiac in West Chester has a sweet show every second Friday of the month (spring to fall). I've had my Goat in there for about 3 shows. They're awesome. Welcome aboard and enjoy your GTO, bud.

Are you around the Water Gap area? (Just noticed your recent post... Media, PA is right next to where I currently am... Philly) There's a weekly (Fridays) car show at the Dairy Queen on 209 in East Stroudsburg (about 1.5-2 hours north of philly, depending on how fast you drive). Not too much of a regular variety, but some nice cars do show up. I'm just pooped about not seeing one of my favorite cars, the 69 GTO. Seems like it's only there once a blue moon.
If you want a bigger car "show", there's an airport drag in town once in a while. I do not know the exact details of when, but I could find out. I went once last year, and you basically have a small flight strip, muscle on one side, imports and whatnot on the other, everyone smoking tires and tearing loose. Fun in the sun :cool

Well, I'll save you some gas and tell you that it isn't really worth traveling down 35 minutes for. I mean, don't get me wrong, I value all the cars that show up, but it's probably not what you're expecting. It's a small parking lot, and decent turn-up. My best guess would be that there are... 10-15 regulars. Sometime's you'll get the neon emitting Thunderbird, but it will probably entertain the regular ice cream eater for about 5 minutes. Now for people that love these cars...kwiktsi said:
I spend maybe 30 minutes to an hour floating about the cars under the watchful eyes of the owners. I go there every time I can remember when I come back from college for the weekend, and it's only 5 minutes away from my house.
All in all, if you don't have any car shows around you, head down to the DQ on 209 (right off Route 80). But if you're car crazy, guess there's no question about it. The food's pretty good too. And if you want to see some old (by old, I mean before my digital camera) pics, see my old site: http://www.geocities.com/cazsgarage/eastburg.htm

As for your DQ in Middletown, DE, RJ... I do hope you can find some people that wouldn't mind showing off their cars. If you want, I can ask the car club that shows up at the DQ if they know of any people that would go there, or know people that live by that area. But you run the risk of them ignoring me for my age

carzycaz,
if you could see if anyone is interested i would appreciate it. i got the idea from working in a store down in florida. ever friday night a bunch of classic/sport cars would show up, pretty much the same 10-15 guys every week and just hang out. it wasnt so much for the customers as it was for the owners of the cars just to hang out. hopefully i can find about 10 people who would be willing to show up, if not then oh well, at least i tried. thanks again
