UCONN Car show, April 9th
 
Hey guys, some of us from CT and I think guys in NH are planing to go to this, and try and meet up and drive in together. Exit 68 off I-84 at the Big Y at 8:00AM. Then we can drive the rest of the way to the show. Just post up if you want to meet up and go so we know how many to expect/wait for before driving up. Here is the info:

CTcar 03-26-2011 06:14 PM

OK I just talked to my buddy, he said they are getting rid of the loudest car contest and any non-street legal cars must be trailered in. So that's like drag cars, race cars. We will be fine with our cars.

awesome..

G5GT2007 04-02-2011 01:01 PM

if you don't do anything stupid leaving the lot or in the lot you are fine. the cops will not bother you. there more so to pull over the honda/acura people because they have the most illegal stuff on there cars and drive like asses. The people that take off 100mph out of the lot and spin there tires will be pulled over seeing the uconn campus police station is right infront of the lot.

not if theyre going to be looking for tint/exhaust/ride height. that could be anyone. just relaying the message he told me

G5GT2007 04-02-2011 01:08 PM
