Our biggest local car show failed

We have a local cruise-in at an area strip mall every Saturday.
The restaurants at the strip mall love it because it fills their dining rooms, good family fun.
There is no trophy's awarded, just car guys and their family's hanging out.

That's the way to roll. We have a monthly here that drags out the weirdos. We get everyone and everything.

The lowrider crowd shows, vintage Japanese clubs, rat rods, kit customs, etc. Everyone loves the variety and nobody gets any award.

I wonder if the nut and bolt clipboard crowd does it because most of them don't turn wrenches, scrub sandpaper or spray?

Maybe it's a way for them to feel more involved?

I never understood bringing a new car to a show or cruise as a focus, either.

Now if I could just finish a car and manage to keep it long enough to go to one...
