I'm sure some of you guys have heard about the "Berlin Turnpike" here in CT, if not it's a long stretch of road with many stores/diners/lots that people from CT and surrounding states descend upon every Friday and Saturday night to show off their cars and kick it back. Muscle, Import, Euro, Bikes, Trucks, Exotics...name it and it will probably be there.

Last Saturday we had a last minute meet that just started with some messages and ended up with a sizeable group that included a bunch of 350z's as well. I took some shots that night for some members and here's the result (I'm not done with all of them yet):

The Lineup of cars our "section" had:

I remember cruising the berlin turnpike back in the day..... are the cops still as bad as they were, e.g., blocking off parking lots and giving tickets for tresspassing, etc?

I am scared to go through there even if I am just going to visit my parents

Nope, pretty laid back now as long as you aren't stupid. Funny you say that because that night we had a single newington cop roll through, everyone else scrambled to get out because they thought the cop was going to kick everyone out, but our group stayed put unless the cop actually told us we had to go. Low and behold the cop just drives through and doesn't even bat an eyelash at us.

DUI checkpoints are still around so be careful if you plan on drinking any.
