Where you been, Steve?

Sounds good, Pete, I will pencil it in. Santa Barbara has a nice car show, where they close down the streets. It is open to anyone. I have been to shows in Solvang and San Luis Obispo just for the drive up PCH.

I don't do shows anymore. I drive the car to them, look around, say hello to some friends then go drive it for a while and be with the family. I get more pleasure out of seeing my son's face in the car then I do trying to win a cheap trophy.

I hear that, with us all our youngsters have moved on to do their own thing. So we enjoy meeting the new crowd. We may grow tired of it but for now it's putting us back into the social scene. It's either that or hang out at the local swanky bar.

No way is my car in show form. My interior looks like a bomb went off in it.

Default Car shows.

When I bought my 84 a little over five years ago I was everywhere. Every weekend I was at a car show. Now I work weekends, but with enough vacation time I'll go to the bigger shows and Funfest.

Larry, I would love to do a run up to San Luis Obispo via Solvang country roads but, thats an overnighter mandatory. I drove up to Solvang couple of times and I had a blast. Those are great scenic drives!!

I've made every one so far! I'll keep coming as long as I can keep a corvette driving to make it. I don't do a lot of shows because my car isn't show quality. I usually show up to see friends and cars. If the money is going to a cause I like I'll go ahead and enter to show off my old busted '85.
