The next time someone says to you, “lets head to the Krispy Kream meet,” grab that camera and that ride of yours and head on over to Burbank, CA. As a first time attendee, I couldn’t believe the number of enthusiasts that filled those Best Buy parking spots and beyond into adjacent businesses. It is estimated that a good 1,000 cars showed up for this meet hosted by Elite Autosports. Sounds ridiculous for a Tuesday evening meet right? I thought so too until I finally got to experience this once and for all. The night was crisp, not too cold to say it was a winter night and not too warm either, a light sweater would do to be honest. The meet was held well at a good steady rate of about two hours until the crop of owners who began revving their engines and doing burnouts ruined it for the rest of us. If you witnessed any of that and can point out specific vehicles it would be nice to kindly remind them that they can take their shenanigans elsewhere. Nonetheless by the end of the night my stomach was satisfied with the warm, glazed krispy kream donut that screamed…thanks! Be sure to be on the lookout for the next meeting as it has been announced that it will be held at random to throw off our local police departments from shutting us down. Enjoy!
