The word is WOW! The Friday cruise-in and parade at Old Orchard Beach (which precedes the OOB car show on Saturday) was an absolute hit. I stopped counting cars after 300.
We knew many of the fine folks that showed, but there were just as many new faces (at least new to us). And some of the most righteous cars. We'll be getting pics up on Monday, I hope, on our site at http://www.hotkarz.com/. Check in after Monday. (I would get 'em up Sunday, but we expect to be at the Rye (NH) Lions Club car show on Sunday.) For those who are interested, it is held at Parson's Field, on Washington Rd (just off Rte 1 in Rye).
Back to the OOB Cruise...
After being parked around the corner at the top of the hill last year, this year we arrived early and parked in the first row, so we would be there as all the cars came in. And every one was pure eye candy to anyone who loves cars!
The entire event was so well organized, everything went off without a hitch. As the parade began at 8:00, hundreds, perhaps thousands of people lined the streets of Old Orchard to cheer us on.
Some people ask why anyone would spend so much money on cars, and spend so much time showing them. Well, if they could see all the happy faces, hear all the laughter, and see the astonished faces on the children, they would know why we do it! Sure, we get a lot of joy out of building 'em and gathering with others who enjoy the same hobby. But the real kicker - the true joy - comes when you drive by someone and they point, and smile. And you know you have brightened someone's day.
Well, enuff for now - gotta get my beauty sleep because the OOB car show starts at 8:00 am...Hope to see y'all there! And remember, if it really rains, the rain date is Sunday (which would mean we would have to miss the Rye show).
