Who’s looking for a car show?

When the weather warms up it’s time to cruise the streets with the windows or sunroof open or the top down on whatever machine you drive.

Or, you can park the vehicle and cruise on foot between lines of shiny, chrome-laden polished so you can see yourself cars on a sunny afternoon.

Yeah, check out those classics, or better yet, those muscle cars. Yep, I’ll stop and look at a Mustang faster than you can sing Mustang Sally. Have you ever heard Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., sing Mustang Sally? Wowser! But I digress.

Certainly this is not an all-inclusive list. I seem to recall cruise-ins at McDonalds in Catlettsburg, Ky., and at Hardees in the west end of Huntington on a regular basis. When that information comes along, we’ll pass it on.

Until then see you at the cruise-ins – I’ll be groovin' around the Mustangs.
