Showin' And Cruisin' In Sunny Arizona 2/23/2013

[CC Rider]

Great day to be driving around the Phoenix Metro area today. It was sunny with temps in the 60's. Little chillier than normal, but nevertheless a great cruising day.

Started out at the annual charity show my community puts on, the 5th Annual Vistancia Charity Car Show. An even 200 cars packed the shopping center lot.

Since this venue is about 2 miles from my home, with assistance from my wife Claire (she just finished working 12 hours at the hospital), both of our Chevys were there on display! Bruce and Holly came by later. We all had a blast, as we typically do!

That's all for the car show, but the cruising continued!..............

Since it was later in the afternoon, we decided to head over to the 67th Ave Cruise instead of driving over to The Pavilions and risk not finding a parking spot. It was opening day at the Arizona Diamondbacks training facility, which usually screws traffic up in that area.

Met up with Joe and Michelle and their killer '72 442!

That's all for tonight. Had a great time hanging out with you guys! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks Rick!

After all the weird weather, the car eating road debris, and the failed ignition modules, it was nice to get the cars out and relax little. We also enjoyed hanging out with you, Bruce, and Holly

Great pictures too by the way!

Joe

Thanks Joe ...we'll do this again next weekend. We can set up a BBQ, too!
