Is this meet still going on...the weather seems to be a little unfortunate, however if cars are still going to meet and cruise I'm there!

[todras]

Will go on rain or shine. No sissys here.

Weather update: Now the weather channel, local weather and dish network weather are all calling for the same thing: mostly cloudy and 42. A little chilly, but still better than snow!

[mcon99]

well everyone had a good time... I know I did.

And only two Cougars including mine... sad...

[SkunkPa]

Yeah, I was the other cougar...it was fun actually, the weather didn't hinder the spirits too much.

[ZnCoug]
