I have really been slacking on writing about the car cruises that we've been to this summer. Sorry about that. The weather this year has just been okay for getting the cars out so we haven't been to much so you haven't missed a lot. Let me get you got up on the main three car cruises that we've been to.
First, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. The Marque Car of the Year was the Mustang. And what a great turnout! There was several hundred Mustangs to look at. We attended, along with my dad in our Saleens. This is a wonderful cruise for a great cause! However, getting there & home from there is never fun since we have to drive through downtown Pittsburgh. But it was a fabulous time there. They have so many great cars to check out & everything is placed in it's own area. The Mustangs had their own area. I think our favorite place though was Italian hill. Wow! I have never seen so many Ferrari's & Lamborghini's. It was awesome to see! The show runs two days & we attended both days there. The turnout on both days was great. Next year's Marque Car of the Year is the Mini Cooper.
Next, we had our Mustang (TC-TC) club's car show. The club put on a fabulous show. Everything went smoothly & we raised a lot of many for some great causes. Once again, we had our Parnelli Jones Saleen there, along with my dad's Saleen & our Viper. Any car is welcome at the show, it's not just for Mustangs or Fords. There was a very nice turnout this year. Weather was great too. Not too hot, not too cool & no rain. Perfect day for a car show! Everyone there seemed to really enjoy themselves. Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
Then, what had to be the biggest car cruise in the area this year, the Moon Twp Volunteer Fire Dept's car cruise. It is always a big event, but this year it seemed a lot bigger. The cars coming in never seemed to stop. And I have never seen the playground as filled as it was this year. Mike went there early to save us some spots. He got in the row behind where we had been last year. However, I was disappointed in where they decided to place the dj. It ended up being next to us. The dj wasn't too thrilled either, but he was extremely nice & promised not to blast us out & to make sure his equipment didn't fall on our cars. And he did as promised. But the cars in front of us decided to leave early so we moved our cars up & had excellent seats. We were once again sitting by the road, watching as all the cars came into the cruise. Everything really does work out! The cars that came in were awesome. And they just kept coming! And as always the food here is great! A little pricey for a hamburger, $6, but it was large & it was good. (Our son wanted one, ate half, so I ate the rest) They also have a burn-out row for people who want to do burn-outs. They set it up pretty nicely too. Safety is their #1 priority. The burn-outs are a very popular draw to this car cruise. We didn't walk around much to see all the cars, but since we had excellent parking spots, we got to see a lot of cool cars. Already looking forward to heading back there again next year. (And probably sending Mike out even earlier to save us spots)
