"Successful First North Carolina Meetup Defies Odds in Unauthorized Parking Lot"
The First North Carolina Autopian Meetup and Changli Rodeo was a success, despite minimal planning and using an unofficial parking lot, with a great turnout of people and cars, including a fantastic array of Rad-era vehicles and a JDM Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. The event was well-received, with attendees expressing support for the host's recovery from aortic dissection, and plans for future meetups were discussed.
