Yet another wet spring day in the Northwest could not stop hundreds of people from all over pulling their cars out of the garage to meet in North Seattle for Golden Gardens 2011. Packs of cars from Canada to Oregon left early in the morning cruised the I-5 corridor and the wet Seattle streets headed to a flat of paved parking lot by the Puget Sound. Cars lined to street for a mile south of the park and packed every available parking spot in the park and Shilshole Marina just south of the park. Cars ranged from projects in their beginning stages, rusted out old Datsun’s, fresh off the assembly line cars, tuners, drifters, and even a few miscellaneous trucks, 4×4’s and SUV’s. Showing off what they’re proud of with their cars, hoods up, rims shined up, washed and waxed and looking nice for everyone to admire and get ideas for their own projects. As the damp day moved on, cars rotated in and out of the show area as people came and went. People didn’t just park and walk through, a constant parade as cars cruised through the middle of the meet. With your average Northwest weather for spring the constant drizzle of rain didn’t hamper anyone’s spirit. More and more people came and went as if it wasn’t raining at all. The only problem I had with the rain was keeping the lens on my camera dry so I could take pictures. Other than that it is hard to beat a good car show on a Sunday.

Pictures to follow soon.
