Time sure has flown by this month. Back near the beginning of the month, Dad and I headed up to Fleetwood Country Cruise-in, near London Ontario. Although we could only bring our beater car, it was still a great day and there were lots (and lots) of really cool cars. Being a celebration of 50 years of the mustang, we had never seen so many mustangs in one place before in our lives. But they were not the only cars there, that's for sure. Seeing lots of familiar faces, as well as lots of different cars, it was a great day, and seemed like everywhere you turned, there was yet another field of vehicles to see.

We just so happened to time things just right to be able to see this Amphi-car launch into a pond, it was a really cool thing to watch! Better make sure the doors are latched.

Here are only a few of the thousands of cars and vehicles that were there.

Having been around cars my whole life, I'd like to think I can say I know my way around a car show. That being said, it's a really cool experience being able to share the knowledge I have already gained with someone who hasn't had the same opportunities as me, and shows an interest in it. Your first car show is an experience, no matter who you are and where it is you go. Whether you've never really understood cars or not, it's still an experience, and if taken with the right mindset, can be a lot of fun and informative. Everybody has a passion for something, and my family often shows it through their vehicles. Paris Unfinished was a great show to be someone's first this year, with good weather and a great mix of different cars. Talking to someone who had never been to a car show before and getting to show her the ropes was a really cool experience for the entire family.
Starting off the day with as much information as the car she drove was black, I hope she is able to say she knows a little more now. Asking many questions, such as "Is that really how cars sounded back in the day?" about a Rat Rodded Model A with open headers, to wondering about carburetors and suicide doors, it was really great to share such an experience with someone so interested, and I encourage everyone to go out to car shows and enjoy the experience, whether for the first time, or the four hundred and first time they're always more than a little fun.
