Lakefront Meet 6 – New Orleans, LA

The annual Lakefront Meet in New Orleans is the biggest meet that many enthusiasts from the Big Easy will attend all year. Maybe that explains why each year the unofficial meet time moves closer and closer to sunrise…

Officially the meet was begun by the NOLA Z Car Club as a 350Z and Invite Only meet. After word spread the party was crashed it has become this onsalught of testosterone and fuel. 

Nestled against the shores of Lake Ponchartrain just minutes from downtown N.O., LFM offers the perfect atmosphere for many Gulf south enthusiasts to browse the selection. But what keeps people coming is the jambalaya. Ask almost anyone, if they’ve had the jambalaya then it is a guaranteed reason they come. The fresh cars are just added incentive.

The VIP scene is growing fast in the Southeast.

Mustang with some Jdm flavor with the Wedsports

The Camry has gathered some appeal in the last few years, over in Thailand they go pretty crazy with the VIP treatment with Camrys so I am sure that is were the motivation comes from.

The same goes with newer model Accords they have been adapting the Vip style of modifying, Trong’s Nguyen Accord stepping out with his new wheels.

Booty sweat…need i say more?

Nice aggressive wheel tire setup on the G, I really like this sporty look on this car.  The Mississippi tag makes it even better if the owner sees this, we would like to see some more pictures of this car, hit us up!

This year I can safely say that the quality of the meet went up tenfold, and pulling folks from as far east as Florida.
