November 9th

The weather couldn't have been more beautiful for a Thursday Nite Cruise-In, by 5:30 there where many cars lined up along the first row, by nights end it would make it to the stop sign to the North. Most of the Regulars were out tonight. It looked like Nicky "Bop" was put in "Time Out" for the evening by Marianne, "only 1 yellow Corvette in the Front Row!". Trevor was already parked there. Hot Rod Row was full. Ed & Evelyn were out for a while along with Tom in his Greenbrier. Ed & Sarah in the Starfire were on the other side of the island from Steve Mc in his "Real Steel '27 T" . Chuck had his T-Bucket out early, traffic is much better coming out a bit earlier. Betty's Mustang is still in the shop so they were out in Paul's. Dan Z is back in town from a quick trip to Michigan, he was reminded by 22 degree temperatures and ice, just why he moved south. "Big" Jim & Norma had "Hot Flash", their '67 Ranchero parked by the Willys. Neil & Elaine had the Healey parked in Row 2. Neil was celebrating his Birthday with us tonight. Nearly 60 cars lined our Cruise-In area of the Wal-Mart parking lot by it's end.

Of course there were many others that attended tonight, including all 3 of the Stooges, Bob helped out in the Trailer after he assisted Doug with his Street Rod, a brake line was giving him some grief. It was decided to Flatbed it out and get it repaired, He & Jane will be back out next week. Cara was spotted in the group, she was hoping her cheerleading squad was going to come out and give us a demonstration, it didn't come together, maybe next week. Marianne served up some of her great cupcakes to Cruisers that stopped by to visit her. I am sure glad she likes to bake. Sorry Tony, she said she had to bring them out so you wouldn't eat them all.

It is always a great time with good friends, every Thursday nite, except for Thanksgiving Thursday, and the Thursday before and after Christmas.

I was corrected on the names of Bob (AKA Moe) & Ron (Curly) when John (Larry) is out of town, They are Statler & Waldorf! Astoria is Statler's sister and Waldorf's Wife. Now they are heckling me in the newsletter. Mustang Mike got to play their theme as Ron, AKA Curly, won the 50/50 that was $101.50. He donated $10 to this newsletter, Thanks.

The "Cruise-A-Matic" rolls up to $200 next week. Cruiser #243 Mike & Chris Kipp were not out tonight.

"Cruiser of the Week" went home with "Trevor the Cruisin Dog" and his '84 Corvette. OK so it was Bill & Virginia Azar, Cruiser #12.

We have a dozen or so Convertibles headed this weekend to Harmony's Dark Skies event this Saturday night and many headed for Old Town as a regular haunt.

Here are some photos.

 Congratulations to the winners, See you all "Out There!"
