This summer has just not been a good summer for cruising. It has rained every weekend. We've even been chased home from a car cruise because of a storm that was approaching. The last time we made it to a car cruise had been the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle in the beginning of June. Until this past weekend.
Last weekend we surprised our son with a trip to the Pittsburgh International Race Complex. They had a drifting demo going on. And he loves drifting. He had a great time & the set up there was fabulous. The Pittsburgh International Race Complex is a great place & they have a lot of different things going on. I'll have to blog about them later because there is a lot to do there. But after this trip there, are son has now decided that he wants to take up kart racing. Guess we'll go back to let him ride the karts there.
This weekend we actually made it to two car cruises in one day. It was beautiful, no rain in sight, finally. We took the Saleen Mustang & the Viper, which was the first time the Viper had been out to a car cruise this summer. The first car cruise we went to was a local one, right down the street from us. It was held at the Monaca Turner's & benefitted the gymnastics team there. There was a nice turn out of cars, but not a lot. The prices for food & drink was excellent. Very inexpensive & the food was pretty good. They had the kitchen open & placed inside to eat. We stayed at that cruise for about two hours before we packed up & headed to the Robinson Quaker Steak & Lube car cruise. We've been trying to get to that one for the past couple of weeks, but they keep cancelling because of the weather.
Just one pet peeve, when driving along, why do people feel the need to tailgate my Saleen Mustang? I really can't stand when anyone tailgates me when I drive any car, but especially my Saleen Mustang. Just don't get it..... Now back to the cruises.....We made it to the car cruise at Quaker Steak. When we first got there, there was not a lot of cars. But they did start to come as the day progressed. One thing I do like at this car cruise is that they rope off an area where the cruise cars are to be parked. Doesn't mean everyone always listens to this, but the majority of the people do. It was just so nice to be able to be out at a car cruise & looking at cars. Hopefully as the summer goes on, more & more weekends will be nice & more cars will come out.
Next weekend, our Saleen Mustang & my dad's Saleen Mustang will be going to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. The Marque of the year is the Mustang. Spending this week shining up the Saleen. Come on out to Schenely Park this coming weekend & check out all the great cars that are sure to be there.
