So Saturday night we went to a nearby town to see its monthly (April-October) cruise-in on the town's Main Street. All the proceeds go to the town main street restoration project, which is really cool.
Liza, Noah and I got there around 5:30. I knew the heat (temps have been in the 100s all week) would beat us but I also knew that Noah would be in meltdown stage at the time we really wanted to go (around 7pm).
We saw a nice array of muscle cars (Novas, Cudas, Chevelles, Vettes, even an AMC, late model Mustangs and GTOs) older classics (older Impalas, a Bel Air--which, btw, a convertible Bel Air is one of my dream cars--a 210, an Austin-Healy, and a couple of 1920-1940s cars). No TAs. I would have gone and showed mine--but next month for sure! The owners were male and older, save for maybe two older ladies (older, like mid-50s).
Noah really liked a Chevelle. At least it wasn't the Mustang!
I picked up a flyer for a muscle car weekend in Commerce, GA in the middle of September. I'll have to ask John, George, or one of the other folks from ACFA if they know about it and if it would be worth the hour drive. Right now those guys are focused on the Trans Am Nationals in Dayton, OH, the Holy Grail of Trans Am lovers.
More cars were arriving at the cruise-in as the evening got "cooler" (term used loosely) but Noah managed to get a good scrape on his knuckles from a fall, and after the nice folks at the town "soda fountain" gave us some meds for it, we decided this was enough for today.
We stopped at the nearby custard shop, where Noah ended up with a chocolate goatee. Then it was off to one of my favorite hot dog places (no, not that one!) for a birthday dinner of slaw dogs and cold beer.
Overall, a good Saturday night of a birthday weekend. Wow. Must be something in the water here in Georgia. ;)
