Corvette Express Show • October 12: I went to the Corvette Show at Corvette Express in Vacaville on Saturday. Lots of beautiful dressed up Vettes to take in. They remind me of girls on Prom night. Dressed up ‘to the nines’ with all the accessories and bling that you can imagine. Incredible amounts of chrome and airbrushed paint especially in the engine compartments. ‘High end expensive wheels and tires, carbon fiber, air scoops, exhaust diffusers and so many parts I didn’t even know that were made for Vettes….

October 5, 2024, Penn Valley: I went to the Lake Wildwood Show on Saturday, October 5. Some of the gang from Cars and Coffee cruised over to Larry Sellers for a pre-car show get together, He was a very gracious host and had coffee, donuts and Bloody Marys, if you wished.

The Crossroads show is always a good show. It is a little smaller but always a good time and well organized. It really filled up fast! and many of the cars came in early.
