At one-eighth the cost...the vettes can surely hold their own. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and maybe their wallets

Well I am going to have to go down there to visit a long time friend of mine and take in some of these events. Dave those pics are great. Is there a certain time of year that would be best to go down there for car shows etc.? It would be great meeting up with some of you guys down there.

Damn! What a great show, much better to talk to the people that actually drive the cars, rather than talking to people trying to sell the cars. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Nah, but I wouldn't have been surprised to see one pop in. I was behind a Ferarri Marinello on the highway on my way there.

The second show we visited, the Temecula Hot Rod show occurs twice per year, once in the Summer and once again during Winter, but I'm not sure how often the sportscar get together happens. I can find out though, I'm sure.
That's one thing about Southern California - there's NEVER a shortage of car shows. It seems as if there is something going on every week. That Temecula show was the largest I've ever seen - street after street of hot rods, classics, and plenty of wild stuff. I could've spent all day walking around, enjoying the sights. Before you make plans, run an internet search. You'll find plenty!

Too bad I missed you guys. I was at the Temecula car show today. If you come to the show again, remember to cross over the creek to the west side. Lots of safe parking there. That is where I park my vette. It is a short walk back over to old Town Temecula. You don't have to park in the mud. Lots of paved streets and office buildings that are closed for the weekend.
