Car-spotting thread

Did the annual M Fall Cruise last Sunday. Took the M4 and brought along a friend with his Z8. Decent group this time. Several other events that day outside the NY area so we had a more manageable number of cars (-50). Mostly bimmers of varying years and models, including a rare CSL. Also in attendance were a 911 GT3 RS, a Charger and a Mustang. Met in Edgewater, cruised to Haverstraw Bay Park via Palisades. On the way back home I led the Z8 through the twisties in Harriman.

Interested in this. Is it open to anyone? Who organizes it. Are there other events? As a relatively new M owner I have been looking for driving events.
It’s organized by the fellow who runs “Machines With Soul”. He does private tests of cars (not just Bimmers) and publishes these in an online newsletter. His name is Mike. His writing style is an excellent mix of insight and humor. Congrats on your M. Post up a pic!

great action pics!
I stole this loop from some PA "Tail of the Dragon" ride. Starts at Cabela's in West Pennsyltucky. Anyone done this? I've done most of the good roads to the north, east, and west of this loop, but never been here.

I've driven some of those roads from Swatara S.P. into Tower City and over to Valley View/Sacramento area to visit a friend from NJ. Don't remember it being too scenic, just a lot of Amish farms and coal mines. @Johnny Utah probably has more miles on some of the other roads on his way to Raush CreekI stole this loop from some PA "Tail of the Dragon" ride.

The drive to get to the drive looks like it sucks, but the Amish sell some of the best bacon I've ever had.I stole this loop from some PA "Tail of the Dragon" ride.

At one point in the 80's this was the fastest thing out there, faster than anything that came out of Italy or Germany.

This looks like a “regular” Grand National, not a GNX. Not sure if that’s what you meant? The GNX had basketweave rims and vented fenders. Still a kick ass car in a straight line tho.

One of my favorite Buicks along with the 72-73 Riviera Boattail. My brother had a nicely upgraded GN, his buddy had the GNX. We used to smoke everyone in town with those cars.
Yep 61 is the gateway to the fun roads though. Coal country!
