The first car show of the year!! That was Saturday. I love LOVE going to classic car shows with the inlaws. We didn't do very many of them last year, I'm not sure why... it seemed like they didn't do many and maybe it was for the best. The Kiddo wasn't quite to the point where he would completely listen and be able to sit still for as long as is required at those things.
Let me explain a little. Going to the car shows with them isn't like just going to a car show. My father in law owns two classic cars so we go, set up an ez-up and sit under it for the entire duration of the show. We pic nic for lunch and eat all sorts of crap food, and walk around several times looking at all the cars. That's easy for an adult but for a 4 year old?? He has to be able to sit calmly, to entertain himself for hours, and to never EVER touch any of the very cool cars that he sees.
Saturday he did amazing, he kicked his feet and chatted with all the people that came by to visit. He held my hand while we walked and always stopped several feet from whatever car he was looking at. If he wanted to see inside he would stand there and look over his shoulder at me and ask me to pick him up so he could see.
I hope he keeps up the good behavior, it will be a really fun summer if he does! Check out the flames on this thing... that's my favorite style, I call them ribbon flames. I know it's not as "classic" looking as the other styles but if I ever get my cream car I'm getting this style flames on it, just in silver and blue (since my dream car would be black).
(A mustang, fastbacks aren't my thing but I promised to take a pic of a mustang for my bro and I think I remember him saying he liked em this way)
That's not copper plated, that's actually made of copper. can you imagine polishing that thing!!??
My favorite, baby blue and WITH a matching Indian. How can you not love it.

Now see, I look at the car you love the flames on (yeah, they're kinda cool) and what I notice is that the color matches the bag of cornpuffs. Ah, well...
On the copper car I notice a lack of seat behind the driver and what looks like an open hatch cover on the driver's side. What is in there? Storage? Battery? Kiddie cage?
yeah that is kind of a horrible orange huh.. I never understood orange cars...
I love orange cars... depending on what shade and car style. Now one thats looks really nice is the Mazda 6. Yummy, one I want but wont be getting.
Were you at Thanksgiving point? If so you probably saw my dad and husband without even realizing it...lol....
Seriously.. I wonder if your in laws know my dad... He rebuilds classic cars and sells them, and has always been heavily involved in the car world....lol
Yeah Heather it was T Point, I think I remember you telling me your dad did the classic car thing. .. wouldn't it be a "small world" thing if they knew each other? lol
