On my first Oppo post I started out with saying that I hate Maryland. Perhaps those words were a bit too strong. I don't hate everyone or everything here.
For every 100 distracted MDX moms there's a cool old guy who loves cars.
For every cash-cow speed camera there's a bowl of crab dip seasoned with Old Bay.
For every few-thousand long-neglected potholes there's a good bar in Fell's Point.
For every hour I spend in traffic due to people rubbernecking an accident on the other side of the median there's a windy, empty country road 20 minutes from where I live.
I keep going to Cars and Coffee in Burtonsville and keep coming up aces.
Today I parked the Ghia toward the back across from a 'Vette with a mural painted on the hood. I love murals painted on cars.
It would be cool to put a mural of Camaros doing burnouts on the hood of a Camaro.
I think this might be some kind of Camaro. It was very racy.
I want this shirt.

The unrestored-ness makes me thing this GNX is real. Who knows?
This Lotus Europa pullet up behind the Muralvette. I didn't know what it was until I had a good look at it.
The owner was discussing 70's British emission-control hardware in an accent I couldn't place.
The RX7 has aged very well.
I always get a good chuckle at the Ghia badge on the side of DeTomassos. "Hey bro, I have a Ghia, too."
This old couple showed up, parked in a side lot, walked around the main lot holding hands for a little while, then drove off.
The owner (not pictured) of the Dart told me he races an E30 with a slant-6 in Lemons, not this. This one is for vintage car racing. Oh and a Diablo.
I adore the rougher cars that show up. They really make my day.
Historic...you don't say.
Hey bro I see your hood is ratty and matches the rest of your front end, want a new hood?
Ratty longroofs rustle my jimmies.
This guy didn't seem to get this bug. If it shows up again I'll shoot some details because it's really well-done.
BMW drivers are like Maryland drivers but are not found exclusively in Maryland. However, vintage BMW people are generally the opposite.
I believe this is a factory 5 GTM.
I'm jealous of these kids. My dad never drove anything cool when I was a kid. He still doesn't.
These are always a treat.
As are these.
You know the owner loves his car when it has a matching color "For Sale" decal on there.
This guy had the angryface all morning. I would too if I was selling a fast Galaxie.
Next weekend I might go hit up Annapolis C&C or maybe somewhere else that isn't too far from Columbia. Hope to see some of you guys out there.

Maryland is 2x cheaper than Virginia. My shitty little hovel in Prince William costs the same price as a much nicer house in southern Maryland. It's not like the proximity to DC is much better.
I don't hate Maryland, but I prefer Virginia to it.
Nice photo dump by the way!

Exactly. A buddy and I have a thing where if someone has a car that sounds powerful we ask, "does that thing have a Hemi or something?"

That's me. You passed my car. It was the white 02. I'll post my pics tomorrow. Also, the Pantera belongs to a friend of mine.

Dude, sweet ride.
