I've decided to unofficially participate in our annual cruise night here in Port Huron Michigan. It's actually tomorrow night, 7/13
There is a parade of classic cars on Friday night and on Saturday, all the 'officially registered' cars are on display at the local college. I don't quite fit in with what is considered a classic automobile, but I think people will get a kick out of it. I'll take one drive through town, and then park and watch everyone else 'cruise'.
I'm still finishing up the 'enhancements' I've been working on the past few weeks, so I'll post pictures after the cruise. Stay tuned.........................

Good for you, you do have a classic vehicle. You can enter it as a special interest vehicle. I have done that for the past few years. We were just sent an invatation to show our car at a local event in September. I have been showing our car for years. We get quite a lot of people who love it. A lot of the car guys don't get it, but who cares. These cars are our pride and joy, so go for it. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your enhancements. And pictures from the show you are going to.

Well, I did the cruise. People loved the Fan Mobile. Although I was unable to (didn't want to try) 'light 'em up' when requested, they still got a kick out of it. The Mustang in front of me left quite a bit of rubber on the cement for them, and me in a cloud of smoke! It's all part of the fun. I took some pictures, www.dotphoto.com/Go.asp?l=JediAmy&P=&AID=4656676&Pres=YI haven't taken the pics of the updates on the SWFM, but will today. You may notice some in the pictures. One of the very cool additions is the flag I got from the fan club. It looked cool waving in the wind Friday night. Yesterday at the gas station a man was telling the cashier about seeing the motor home in the cruise, all excited. He saw me go to my van and we ended up talking, him telling me about the FM, I said, "yep, that was me!" his response, "that's so cool". The hubby didn't understand why I wanted to go to cruise night. It's pretty simple, when people see it, they smile, laugh and get a kick out of it, and that in turn makes me happy. What's so hard to understand about that? |

I am so happy that you particapated in the cruise. Yes they can be fun. We got an invitation to go to a local car show in September. We are planning to go to it. I will take pictures. Maybe someday I will find out how to put these pics on the boards. Keep having fun with you FM. We think she is great.

I'll second what hanchwy said; I love the Fan Mobile!
I've been looking for art car events, but I should probably check out just car events as well -- I know there are hot-rod gatherings pretty often at a local mall. I used to go to VW meets with my old van, which has spaceships on the curtains. It's great that we can share our love of Star Wars like this -- there are plenty of casual fans out there that get a kick out of our vehicles. And maybe we'll inspire a few more to create some art of their own.
