    Went to a local cruise-in hosted by the Fall City Corvette Club.
    Had a good time and saw some nice cars. Noah went with me. We hungout for a couple hours and went home.

    *Gas=$20.00
    *ice cold soda for Noah and me= $4.00
    *The look on the proud owners face (who we were parked beside) when people walked right past his 09' Vette to look at "a maverick"= PRICELESS!

    Cool!

    I had the owner of a 90's vette tell me straight out that he wished his vette was half as cool as my Maverick. It made me feel good. Funny thing, sometimes I will take my cuda and the maverick to a cruise or a show. It always amazes me how much attention the Maverick gets. I have seen people spot it and make a bee line for it without even glancing at the mopar steel parked right next to it. Then again, some peope think the cuda is the cats meow and turn their noses up at the little Ford. I can tell you honestly I enjoy both equally.

    Thats awesome you get attention over the other stuff.

    As for the "Cat's meow" thats what I named my ole 80 XS 1100. Was talking to an older gentlemen about it once, as he's into old bikes and he kept saying "man that bikes the cats meow" lol

    Right... when they look at the Maverick, they are looking at the Maverick. And when they look at the cuda, they are still looking at the Maverick.:cry:

    Went to a new cruise in they started nearby. Its a brand new spot this year and this was the third week. It rained the last two Thursdays. Sunny and in the low 80's about 75 - 100 cars showed up. I took the day off today and licked both cars up real nice. I drove my 'cuda, and my dad took his 67 GTO, and my wife drove the Maverick. Parked the Mav between me and my dad. Its a good thing I love that Maverick cause it grabbed all of attention, AGAIN. LOL. Easily 2:1 over my Plymouth and it was even worse for the poor GTO.:cry: Forgot the camera this time.
