There\u2019s nothing better than enjoying the old past time of driving around town to local shows and cruise-ins. Whether you\u2019re an \u201cold-timer\u201d or new to the scene, it\u2019s always great to have a list to get ready after breaking out the classic car from a long hibernation. Either way, this list will help anyone navigate the car show scene like a pro.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

First, pick between a Car Show or a Cruise-In!<\/h3>

This is an easy one, find something local first. \nSupposing you\u2019re looking for something laid back to just \npark and show your car, pick a cruise-in. In the event \nyou\u2019re more serious and looking \nto win trophies you\u2019ll want to head to a car show.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you plan on entering your car, don\u2019t forget to register and bring your tag.<\/h3>

Gather your trophies, awards, show boards to set up with your car, maybe you even have one of those small dolls to lean against the bumper? If you don\u2019t that\u2019s okay people will still appreciate a classic<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the occasions you\u2019ll be cruising around the scenic routes, always remember to\u00a0bring tools, a battery jumper, and some extra gas, just in case you run into any trouble or even to help a fellow cruiser if they get stuck in a bind.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Don\u2019t forget the shine!<\/h3>

Once you get to the show you\u2019ll want to shine it up after the drive, so bring some wax, polish and microfiber cloths to keep it clean and show-ready.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Camera and photographs<\/h3>

Got photos of your rebuild? Bring them with you to show off the hard work and dedication you\u2019ve put into it.

Cash!<\/h3>

Lots of car shows have food trucks, vendors, raffles, and much more. It\u2019s always a good idea to have some extra cash on you to take advantage of these services and support local businesses. When you\u2019re cruising in, bring some snacks and drinks for your drive, or plan a stop at a restaurant along the way.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hang out!<\/h3>

Once you\u2019re at a show you\u2019ll want to sit back and relax a bit, so don\u2019t forget a fold-out chair, umbrella, and protection from the sun.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Dress to represent! With an old car show, vendor, or sponsor shirt you can let everyone know at a glance. And don\u2019t forget to dress for the weather, especially if you\u2019re in an area known for sudden weather changes.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lastly, don\u2019t forget to enjoy it. Car Shows and Cruise-Ins are all about enjoying yourself, reminiscing about old times, and making new friends. Everyone that attends these events comes together to share their hobby and passion with others that appreciate it in the same ways.<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
