Default Heading south, any suggestions?

I am heading South tomorrow with my wife to see her parents in Bonita Springs, Florida. We will be there for a week. To help me keep my sanity I was wondering if any of you knew of a car show in the area that I might be able to escape to, er, I mean visit during my time in the Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs area. Let me know please and thank you for your help, er, I mean information.

Check out the corvette museum in Punta Gorda it's about 45 minutes north of Fort Myers on US 41 tons of vettes of all years. Phil

Almost every burg in Florida near the water has a Visitors and Information website. Google them, then connect and see what they have to offer.

I second the Muscle Car Museum in Punta Gorda. They have parking lot 'shows' every other Saturday i think musclecarcity.net. The NCRS Show is moving to Lakeland 21 January. In Ft. Myers, every other Wed (not sure of the current rotation) at the Merchant's Crossing shopping center 441 and Pine Island Road. It usually has a real good turn out especially since the snowbirds have invaded uh,,, I mean returned...
