Wait List for 2014 Corvette Z51 Reaches a Year – CorvetteOnline.com.

Mine: Customers who place an order for a Corvette with the Z51 performance package will have to wait a year or more. It could take so long that these cars might technically be 2015 models.

It’s not ALWAYS About Cars – Pink Pumpkin Run

By | |
Leave a comment

I’ve always taken time to race my cars in a charity for cancer or run a few miles in my Nike’s for the same cause. Nope not bragging, I look at it as most likely helping to save my own life at some point or some one I care about – cancer runs in the family.

This is my son’s and my 2nd year running in the Pink Pumpkin Run 5k put on by Skin and Body Fitness where my wife and I work out. Kristine Bennett and her husband Greg, run the place and they work tirelessly to make this a FUN Run to help raise awareness and money for a family stricken by breast Cancer.

This run was a milestone for us…it was the first time my son acrossed the finish line before me!!!!  I’m getting old!!!

These races wouldn’t work with out all the runners/walkers that show up (over 160 this year).  But with out sponsors these races would be too expensive to put on.  Special thanks to Skin and Body Fitness and a thanks to my employer – Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and Bookmans Sports Exchange for their donation.

Thanks for reading.

I can go on for more ‘Parts’ than there were Rambo or Rock movies, but I’ll stop with what I think was the star of the car show.  It was only on display, so it wouldn’t be taking any trophies home.

It wasn’t this Ferrari

Tucson Classics 7 Annual -BEST Car Show in Southern AZ – Highlights!!! Part 2

The thing about attending regional car shows in your region is there’ a very good chance that you are going to run some of the same cars, even in a show as big as this one.  Oh..don’t get me wrong I love looking at them but writing about the same cars is not very rewarding.  So I’m going to show you some of the cars I really enjoyed.

 

Of course I’m always drawn to the Vettes.

Maybe something in Satin?

Or maybe something with a bit of a sting-er

Or how about an Anniversary Grand Sport!!!

I kid you not…this is one of the most enjoyable car shows.  You get to park your classic, muscle, racer, import or special purpose vehicle on the grass (yeah…lots of it) – no nasty dirt or melting tar parking areas.   Grab that blanket out your trunk and spread out under a tree and enjoy!!!!

Oh….did I mention that for $5.00 you get into the show and you get a change to win this!!!!!

Go to Tucson Classics Car Show and get a ticket!!!!

I’ll be here.
