Hey y'all. The biggest car show in western VA is this weekend. Star City Motor Madness in downtown Roanoke. The cruise in is this Friday from 6-8 on Williamson Road and the Car show is this Saturday 10-4. Wide variety of vehicles particularly American classics and hot rods covering about 6-8 city blocks. Every year seems to have something different. In 2011 the Ghostbusters Car, 60's Batmobile, Starsky and Hutch Car and General Lee were all there. Last year they had a selection of euro race cars from the 60's-70s including Ferraris. I will probably be down for the car show on Saturday.
I wish I would have known more than 2 days before. I can't just ask off now :/
Last year there was some pretty interesting stuff out there, this one was my favorite:
(the cockpit of this thing was even crazier)

And the cruize-in 2 years ago was fun in the 2002, and even more "fun" getting chased home in hurricane conditions. Fortunately the 2002's falling-tree-limb-and-blowing-debris dodging abilities didn't let us down!
All that being said, I HOPE to be moving in to my new house this weekend and thus HOPE to miss both events.
