Man, you are going to have tunes now.

Thanks! We've been having weekly cruise nights every Tuesday since March 12th. I've been handed the reigns to a local Car Club that was started in the 50's that kind of died out 'til around 10 years ago when someone found some history on it at the Museum in town and started it up again. The two guys that were the ones that rejuvenated it have moved away and left me to be The Man. All we do is hang out in a parking lot on Main for a couple of hours. It has grown from 6 or 8 cars to as many as 25. And I have to drive a different Chevy each week so they don't feel left out. We'll do it 'til Nov. after time change.

Unfortunately ours is only for June, July and August, but that's OK, there are a few others around for May and September....

Looks great! I have a Maroon '69 Chevy C10 that needs the same treatment if you have some spare time....

All the free homemade Peach Cobbler and homemade ice cream you can eat!

My Daughter said to me today "and we could do my truck next Tuesday?"... My Doctor just told me on Monday that I need to cut back on my sweets and get more exercise. So I'm running "from my Daughter". BUT thanks for the offer. LOL
