Go, have fun, meet some new people, talk cars - it's all a part of the car show game. Good luck too at the show - you never know how things will turn out.

I'm hoping to attend my first car show Saturday also, if my car ever gets back in time from the shop! Is it in TN or are you coming out to western NC for same show I'm hoping to be in? Either way, have fun and don't forget the canopy tent! Will be sunny and hot this weekend!!
