Are you a fan of Antique/Classic/Muscle cars and do you go to swap meets, cruise-ins, and such? Do you collect/read Muscle Car magazines or go to the drag racing events? Or think about that old Chevy/Plymouth/Mercury that your dad, grandpa or uncle drove when you were a kid? Reason I bring this up is because I notice more ppl think of cars as "just a 4-wheel box to take them from Point A to Point B" but I have deep sentimentality for older cars. Back when Detroit was King and parts were plentiful! I attend every venue possible and when you get two or more "car guys" together, it's like a party!
Yes as a teen/late teen when these cars were just fast old cars that owners actually modified and tracked. You know before the collecting craze.
Now no. There is a monthly event near my house at Hooters. I have never visited.
I would attend a nearby event if muscle cars, any cars, were actually racing but find it boring to see parked cars.(new and old) Not a spectator myself but a doer. People really spew a lot of BS about their cars vs. other models. Easy to talk when you do not have to back it up. . I noticed it as a teen and it still find it irritating. Folks more modest at the track because you know, anything can happen
I track my car about 2-3 times a year when the weather is cold to cool and DA is low.
I go a couple times a year. One to a local show and the other in Carlisle PA. I enjoy the shows and atmosphere. I'm a huge car guy and love to see all of the nice rides people have. I used to get a couple of Corvette magazines but stopped because they rehash the same thing over and over again.

Yes, at least 3-4 a year, would go to more if I had time. We have some great swap meets with cars/parts for sale, a really big car show in Seattle, and almost every weekend a smaller show just 6 miles away in Issaquah at a cool retro burger joint. I exhibited my 1972 El Camino at Greenwood one year, lots of fun.
My father and I used to show together. He had a 33 Ford sedan, and I had a 69 Z28. It was fun and we enjoyed it. I still go down to the annual show here in Reno every year to enjoy the cars.
I used to go to the Woodward Dream Cruise every year. That's an awesome time, especially if you go to downtown Pontiac because the police presence... really isn't present so it gets interesting.
