What im NOT into anymore or just does not thrill me is actually taking the car to shows or cruise ins and setting there for hours basically doing nothing. I like to go to shows...look around at all the cool cars then just go home.
whats keeping you from doing that? take the car to a cruise, go look around and then leave. don't do "shows" only do cruises. get out and drive and enjoy the car more. hell we drive 2 hours to a little show/block party in the poconos. the show has maybe 15 cars but its more about enjoying the drive up there. we try to do a poker run every wear also. a ton of fun. drive stop to stop. stay a little time at each stop and the rest of the time its cruising about 100 miles through the pinelands. there are tons of ways to enjoy the car without going to stupid shows. heck put the kids in the car and go for ice cream.
