Holy smokes i could ramble on forever about this topic but i will try to keep it short guys! I personally am a fan of alot of the car genre's out....my coworker has a mazdaspeed 3 putting close to 300hp to the ground and it's a BLAST to drive! I've had several quick imports myself, hell my daily is an 07 mazda 6 with the 3.0L and it's pretty quick! However, my first car is my 87 cutlass i still have and my true car passion spans the old schools....i used to get dropped off to school in my buddy's brother's lowrider 73 caddy and it was awesome to see the looks when you come into the parking lot on 3 wheels throwing sparks lol!!!!!
With my dad being a true gearhead and veteran mechanic we learned to fix stuff ourselves and we used to take my grandma's 59
pontiac catalina to shows.
Here in Louisville they also have Cars n Coffee once a month and its a blast. Even the NSRA changed their entry rules several years back....it's now called Street Rod Nationals Plus which accepts anything 30 years old and older which drew in well over 10,000 cars this year!!!! I had some pics of g's there but just deleted them last week!
Like most said, it all depends on what the club putting the show on wants to do. My favorite local show is at the end of this month (boohoo my cutlass misses it for another year) put on by Louisville Street Rods. Anything goes with the exception of bikes and go karts and if the weather is nice there are easily 1,500 cars +.
Rant over lol!
