I love the Cruise-In season! I have been checking all my favorite sites on the areas season coming up and I am seeing alot of cool shows being scheduled. The last couple of years that we have been in Vancouver, Wa I went to alot of these when I had my truck, this year will be so cool now that I have my C3! I seen very few if any C3's at these shows and just maybe we need to give them all a look at some C3's this season. I'll post any Cruise-Ins that I plan on going to and I hope maybe we can show up with several C3's. I can't wait, I feel like a kid!Big%20smile

Hey Tuxblacray-
              If you go to any events up north this year, can you give me a heads up? Have you ever been to Brown County,IN. in the fall?

Hey Aaron I also love a great cruise-in, but most being in the evening its kinda hard to get to your part of the state after work.  Most the time I drive the Pacer to work and head there afterwards.  I'm going to try and do some more this year then last year if I can.

Tux, great slideshow, I see the cruise-ins are cool in your neck of the woods! Aren't they fun! Cars guys hanging together, it's great!Cool
 
Mark, I know what you mean about working things into your schedule. I work swing shift so when I'm not working OT on the weekends I'll be hitting the cruise-ins during the season that are not very far from me, since I've only had my C3 for a short time and need to slowly do what I can to it when I can to make it more reliable to drive far from home. Don't get me wrong but I feel it is a pretty good driver right now. Here's to a good cruise-in season in the NW and to all!Thumbs%20Up
 
Here's a pic of my Chevy truck at a cruise-in (the truck I traded for my C3).

The one I check the most is northwestclassicautomall.com at the bottom is criuse news, it is pretty good , also if you are looking for a classic car. Also driveonline.com it's from a free mag on automotive, street rods, and events all over, that I've found at tire and repair shops.Big%20smileAaron19762008-02-03 21:44:04

[/QUOTE] Larry sometimes you make me laugh LOL  Pam's just about written off every weekend for the Summer.  And just think, I've found a way I can show the Pacer in the winter now.  I applied to put my 30th Anniversary Display in the Seattle Roadster Show at the Quest Event Center.  the only problem is after I paid the $40 I noticed the deadline was 1/25/08 dohI'm waiting to hear back from them.

Mark it sounds like Larry has your number. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks hanging out with car guys and cool cars on weekends all summer is the way to spend your time.Cool I checked my favorites to see how many car/cruise in sites I have saved, well I counted about 10 of them. A good one is also rocknrod.com.Big%20smile Also these guys at streetrodadventures.com know how to have a great show, one is going to be in LaCenter & Vancouver, WA. check out the site.Aaron19762008-02-03 22:23:12
