I love cars! I will even admit that I dated several guys for thier cars. I married the TR 4A with over drive! Chuck had a Triumph and it was sooooo much fun to drive. We have a lot of memories in that car, they make me smile.
I remember driving up Provo Canyon to Sundance one time with my cousin Jill. She was in the fetal position stashed in the luggage space behind the seats. She started screaming when she saw Robert Redford following us up the canyon. she tried to get his attention and he was not amused; finally passing us, kill-joy! I found this photo on the web of Chucks car, it was dark blue and had a black interior with a black convertable top. I still remember the smell of the TR-4, Loved It!
Cruise Night comes to Emmett about the 15th of July every year and it is so much fun. It is the largest car show in Idaho. This year Patricia and I went as our hubbies didn't want to go. That was fine with us, had a blast meeting new people and talking to our friends that were there. There are actually two events; in the park in the morning is the Swap and Shine put on by the Lions Club. The park is full of cars, food, a swap meet & FUN!
One of my favorite cars this year and I didn't get a picture was a late 60's Cougar. It's body reminded me of my first car a 1970 Ford Torino with a 351 Windsor 4 barrel engine. It was a powerful V-8 engine and a few days after I had the car I got it up to 127 mph on I-15 in Centerville. Dad, if you're reading this I admit to a lie of omission becuase I never told you. Glade Johnson made me do it, grin:) I loved that car! It was green with a darker hard top, The first photo shows the color and the gold and white one is 1970 model that I had.
Back to Cruise Night: That evening Roeanns, Emmett's best Drive Inn sponsors Cruise Night where you will find a 50's band in the parking lot, plenty of people, awesome cars, more people and if you have a cool car you can cruise the main drag in Emmett all night long. People set up BBQ's and parties in parking lots and on the lawns of business then watch the cars till around midnight.
Patricia and I only went to the Swap and Shine, next year we migth be on the main drag having a party, who knows? Either way, it's a fun Saturday so if any of you readers like cars and are going to be in town next July around the 15th, you are invited to cruise with me!

I am having my 35 class reunion on Saturday the 2nd of August and we are having a car show...I am excited. LaDell and I drove a 1972 little yellow Capri when we first were married and boy did we think we were cool. We love to see the old cars too.
