Event: Saturday Night Car Show
Date: October 23, 2004
Location: Albertson's Parking lot at the "Y" in Oak Hill
Description: About dark-thirty, most of the cars had left the Oak Hill Neighborhood Associations "Hot Rods and Hot Music" event and headed over to the Albertson's parking lot for the weekly Saturday Night Car Show.  I joined the pack as well...

I drove the quick 1 mile or so to the Albertson's and found a spot to park.  I was surprised that many of the vehicles that had been at the event earlier had either departed or didn't show up for the weekly car show.

I fielded many questions about the jeep including several with a gentleman named Steve and his lovely friend.  Steve is interested in in restoring an M38A1 or other mil-veh.  I spoke with several other people about the jeep and wandered around to see the other vehicles.

A pretty tricked out black Camaro showed up complete with blower and great smelling fuel.  As it turns out, the car is about as close to a true quarter-mile strip car as they get and still be legal.  In fact, I watched him 'tune' the car from his laptop!  Amazing. 

There was one of the new Chevrolet 5.5L SSR's there next to what appeared to be the basis or platform for it's design.  Maybe a 40's Chevrolet truck???  I digress...  There were also some very nice muscle cars and newer street cars as well.  A few motorcycles were also tossed in.

About 8pm, I cranked up the jeep and headed home the quick 2 miles or so.  Dang it's not fun in the dark with these jeeps.  No side marker lamps and not a whole lot of light coming from the backs either!  Anyway, I made it home safe and the little jeep is home.
