Today I want to talk about something all classic lovers enjoy, car shows. As enthusiasts, it is exciting when we get the chance to attend a classic car show. Getting to look at all of the cool vehicles regardless of age, make or model. For me, the smell of the gasoline and exhaust brings about so many great memories. There are so many of us out there that relate the smell of gasoline or burning oil to fond memories of childhood, or our kids or just a dream vehicle that we own or someday soon will own.
Car shows are a great place to network in your local area and find other enthusiasts who find joy in coming together and just discussing the history of themselves and their vehicles. That is part of the purpose of this blog. We are going to be finding everyday car owners and getting to know them and their special vehicle.
For the longest time I didn’t think that my Jeep was good enough for a show. Recently, a friend of mine told me that by just having a car you can share in the experiences of being in a car show with other owners regardless of the condition. If it runs and drives and can get you to the show, why not take it? Share those experiences with others and talk project progression! Who knows, maybe a fellow owner will give you tips and tricks on where to get better parts or how to overcome certain obstacles in the rebuild process. Life is about building relationships and creating experiences. Finding others who share your similar interests makes it even easier to create shared experiences and to build new friendships. So my promise to you my readers is that I will take my CJ to an amateur show this summer (as long as I can get her street legal…). Not only will I bring my Jeep to a show, or multiple if I can, but I will also be writing posts about some special vehicles that I see at these shows!
Let’s hear it from you! What are some of the best car show experiences you have had with or without a vehicle? Feel free to comment on the blog or on any of Choice Classic’s social media outlets. Thanks for tuning in to this Sunday’s post! Sorry it is a little shorter than normal however, keep an eye out for Wednesday’s post! We will have a special vehicle to discuss and show you all. Until next time, stay classic!
