I agree even when the engine is idling the sound is incredible. When they did the 6:52 lap time on the Nürburging it was sometimes over the noise limi t on the track 🤩. When the blower starts whining it sounds like hell on a way 😍

Saw a "Matlock Special" on the road; Though Matlock only had Crown Victorias, there was one episode where he had a Grand Marquis such as this one for 5 minuites of the show before it got blown up. Those are nice cars.

Saw a gasoline powered dumpster. I thought those were only electric?

They are electric.  Does not appear to be fueling, only parked there

My poor attempt at humor. I'm aware they're electric. 👍👍

Rotary Fest car show tonight. Already seeing the Bordertown Classics collection down the road from my grandma's heading down to the grounds. These are real deal cars from Mecum, Barret Jackson, etc. Just seen a '69 Chevelle, and two of the '70 Road Runners heading out. Show doesn't start till 6pm but registration begins at 3pm and there are a lot of cars in the collection so must be getting there earlier to avoid driving them in crowds and heavy traffic. Oh it's gonna be a good show tonight.

I read articles a few years ago about that, which is why I also posted the picture in "what irked you today". Good for the goose, and all that I guess. At least I didn't need to get gas.

Maybe the dumpster captain had to pee really badly and that was the closest parking spot.

No, named after the IMSA racing category.

I couldn't get a picture, but it put a big smile on my face. A young girl driving a first generation Bronco II with working a/c and an antique license plate.

Love the run what you brung!

This car is special with the car club.  The new custodian brought it on a flatbed, but drove it to the club cruise.  So sketchy "on the road", but he promised the now deceased Charter Club Member he would drive it to the next show (coming soon).  I attended that member's service.

And some other vehicles.

Cool little Nash showed up this morning while I was having coffee. Guy said he was the 4th owner, 26000 original miles

I was desperate for one of these when I was knee high to a car door handle and they were new. 😁

I've been a car guy all my life, I've grown to enjoy the rare, unusual and less seen one's as I've gotten older. At car shows in the sea of camaro's and Mustangs I'll rave over the pinto or chevette.this one made my day.

Not sure but as I was leaving my hotel there were several others parked at the hotel next door. A ratty looking 64-66 Chevy truck with no hood and drag slicks strapped to the roof and a sweet looking 70-73 Camaro that I wish I’d gotten pics of.

Maybe someday I’ll be able to afford to build a car and do some of those types of events. Power Tour, Drag Week, and SICK week are on my bucket list.

Restored this one a few years ago. Cleaning her up for hot August nights
