So a while has past since I have written a post or even attended a car show (new job). Tomorrow Ann Arbor will host which was once a great car show. I say once a great show due to the fact that it has outgrown its venue. The first time I went, many years back, we strolled in late in a fine 39 Ford. Paid at the gate, parked and had a good time. The last three years it was plagued with the same problems as the Woodward Dream Cruise (one year it did rain, so it was not so bad). Too many cars trying to pack into a single area. On top of being packed into a limited area, you are also forced to enter from only one entrance. Last year, while waiting in line to enter, the Cougar started to suffer from vapor lock and when we finally did park, it stalled out right when I shifted in to park. Call me a lazy cruiser, but I prefer to wander on in at my own leisure and be able to split when I am ready. Yet, every year Rolling Sculpture, Woodward Dream cruise and other shows just like them seem to keep growing. I am glad they keep growing, but I prefer to keep it casual and cool, and that’s what really grinds my gears.
