Factory Five Tech Crew Draws Big Crowds at Bass Pro Shop Cruise-In

The Factory Five tech crew left work a little early on yesterday to attend the bi-weekly Bass Pro Shops Cruise-In at Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA.  Tony, Nate, and Jesper all drove ’33 Hot Rods with Dan in a Type 65 Coupe, Jay in the Mk4 Roadster, and Joe driving our GTM.
