Around here we call them cruises/meets/gatherings. The place I mentioned called Bart's is where one of those happened every week this summer hosted by one of the local car clubs.

There's an event called "Mark's Cruise Night" that happens every Monday over the summer and does the different car group/model thing each week, as well (Mustang night, Firebird/TA night, etc), but anything and everything shows up. The last one I went to had over 910 cars (I was 908), which blew my mind. There wasn't much grass to be seen in the field, it was pretty covered with cars.
So yeah, we know what you're talking about, at least I do, just by different names.

Piece of cake when you have one in the garage already. Didn't have to leave the driveway again.
Next - Boxster on a red brick road

Boxster and a Fire Truck
What luck! The only parking spot left and it was right next to the Fire Trucks.
Next: Boxster with the Moon (the one in the sky)

Technically, it is not a planet, it's a moon, and that doesn't appear to be a Boxster with your "moon" either.
edit: (Funny, how did I know this was going to happen, especially from JDanger)
