This Friday is the first cruise-in of the season in AJ that I like to attend. With gas prices like they are, it will cost $25 to put the key in the ignition of the Buick. Premium is close to $6 while Diesel is $6.29. My budget for Buick gas this winter will have to be $100 minimum per month. That, plus the cost of entering car shows, typically at least $50 around here, make the old car hobby a spendy one, at least this winter. Canadians who winter down here attend that cruise-in pretty heavily. I don't know how or if high gas prices will affect that any......
The weather was so warm in March last year for the BOP-C show, this year they are scheduling it on February 28. I don't know when the Florence show is, but with my luck, it will be on Saturday before the BOP-C on Sunday. It was like 112 at the BOP last year. I thought I was going to fry on my way home in a black car with no AC. I won't do that again this year.........
Life can be tough. It can be even tougher if you're stupid.....
OK, I think I hate you!, yours is just starting and ours is just ending. The last car show for this area is October 10 and is part of the Pentwater Fall Fest. It is usually a large car show with lots of eye candy to drool over. I just hope it does not snow!
I'm sure the car shows and cruises are winding down here too. We went from being way too hot to go to a show to very cool in the matter of two days. We had been having weather in the mid to upper 90s for quite some time and then it cooled down to the higher 80s Monday. It didn't get out of the 60s Tuesday and Wednesday and today it barely got past 70. It wouldn't be too bad if we had a little sun to go along with the cooler temps.
Gas near me is running anywhere from $4.06 a gallon to $4.19 a gallon. Diesel is running $6.29 and up in my area.
