The next outing is in two weeks which is the annual RG#24 Valentines Luncheon on the 6th. We go to a French restaurant for a fancy meal followed by all the old guys singing an old song, "Let me call you Sweetheart", to their wives, its very endearing and a little embarrassing to be singing off key in a busy restaurant. Hopefully the weather is good as I'd like to park it front and center as many have not seen the car ever or it was a decade and a half or more ago.


The plan after that is to show it at the Georgia Tech Auto Show April 4th followed by the Avondale Estates Easter Parade on the 5th. The Tech show changed last year and was the best yet with the cars parked on the sidewalks in the area of the architecture and industrial design buildings. This was great as the students are in session and the high level of interaction and interest from them was a welcome change. I let about 25 of them sit in my black Fiero though "only" a 1988 it was older than all of them. One does not have to be an alumni to attend. The automotive design/history professor who puts on the show is a close friend and got GM to sponsor the show with keynote speakers from KIA design. The Easter parade is a lot of fun, I have done it about 10 times over the last 15 years. Its usually about 40 cars in a slow crawl throwing candy to waiting children while we snake back and forth in a police led formation through the historic district. We meet in the lot behind the police station on main street. Its put on by the Peachstate Cadillac Club with the V8 club as a supporting partner.


The Hot Rod Revival #6 is May as you know. I will definitely be there. I would like to make it to one of the Zealots Thursday night garage nights if I get a Thursday off, its the daughters bass lesson night and I'm the dedicated wheel-man.
