Is anyone going to the Annual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this weekend? I highly recommend going! Every car manufacturer from every era is going to be there and there will even be about 15 - 20 NSX's there as well.
If anyone is going PM me ASAP. I want to set up a get together for a night or something.
