We went to the annual car show that I go to every year. Did not take any car to "show" ~ Just wanted to walk around and enjoy it, and leave when we wanted to, rather than stay until 4PM (Toooo Hot!). Really a great bunch of people & cars. So many (121) an so many great examples! Of interest here was a 1978 Lincoln Mark V Diamond Jubilee Blue Edition, as new, flawless. That was the only Lincoln, there were many Mercurys. Came home very tired. Show started at 9:00AM and is over at 4:00PM. We were there 9:30 until 1:30. Feet hurt, hot as heck. My favorite there was a 1964 Avanti R3 signed under hood by Andy Granitelli in Fawn gold that was showroom perfect, and a 1976 Coupe deVille with documented 1,800 miles, with every option, and a 2004 Lotus V-8 Esprit. My breakfast was Italian Ices & Pizza! The D.J. was braodcasting live to some station I didn't get & he was really great, if you like R&R from the 50s !!
There's another great show next Sunday, but I can't go 'cause Matt's girlfriend is coming here, and I have to play host......yada yada yada... sis bang boom.....Pity, it's in my hometown :(
 
RE: Annual Car Show

That sounds like fun. I go to car shows around here. You meet other car people and see some really interesting vehicles. My favorite is the Hot Rod show. No cars newer than 49 and most are beautiful with a lot of interesting and creative modifications. I also go to other shows. Recently I've been to bike and antique tractor shows. The bike show was great. There were hundreds of fat middle aged guys and their fat middle aged lady friends dressed in tight black leather. LOL! It looked like a combination of Overeaters Anonymous and a S&M convention. LOL!
