So I've been out of the car scene for a while, but after getting the new car I went out looking for the local hang out. I found one small group of people, but it was all 18-21 year old super ricers. Only one c5 vette that was all ragged out and had a hacked stereo system. There weren't any F-bodies or vettes, mustangs, supras, rx7s, or anything else worthwhile to look at or hang around and BS. I was at least expecting a sizable redneck contingent, but didn't see them either.
There seems to be two extremes here. During the day you have the normal car shows with guys old enough to be my grandfather and the HS crowd. No 24-30 crowd driving nice cars. Only thing that was close was the cars and coffee meet. I'm not looking to do any racing off the track either. I just wanted to get out and meet some more people my age that have tasteful cars.
Has the car scene pretty much died everywhere or is Charlotte just that bad compared to C-bus? I would have thought with all the racing crap here we would have a huge scene. I couldn't find anything on the local forums either. Just that super ricer meet.
Are the days of the Thrift store parking lot meets over?
