Well that was quick...
I received my AutoFest registration in the mail yesterday. Actually, I had no idea what it was - the envelope was hand-addressed and the return was 'City Center Corporation' or something. I didn't notice 'AutoFest' written above the return until after I pulled out the Evansville brochure.
So are we going to be the only people there showing cars that are less than ten years old? I mean, the SVX never fails to impress, but I get the impression we're going to be parked next to a Model T or a Studebaker!

Remember the guy at Shelbourne Farms in front of their inn? The M5 owner who wouldn't stop asking questions.

I remember that guy. Of course, my favorite question (which came from a couple of different sources) was, "Are you guys makin' a commercial or somethin'?"

I guarantee we won't have the newest cars there. Last year there were several jazzed-up Neons and Civics and such. There was also a large contingent of Impala SS's and stuff like that. This is not one of those snooty "If you ain't drivin' a '49 or older you deserve to die" shows (although lots of older cars will be there). This show is for car fanatics - of all colors and sizes. Like the guy in his seventies with a new PT Cruiser that he had trimmed out with chrome tape and stuff. Man - he was proud of his 'Hot Rod' - and it was a lot of fun seeing him stoked and hangin' with the go fast boys.
It's sort of a retro-cruising-high school-greaser thing, except most of us will be too old (and too married) to do the things we were too scared to do back then. Steve

AutoFest
<One of the reasons we registered together is so we could all look "ridiculous" as a group>
Well maybe not as a group, but when everyone sees the Hardee's star on Aredub's antenna, the spring-mounted hula girl on his back deck, and the curb whiskers on his custom fender skirts, they might request that he park over next to the Edsels... Don
