APRIL
ARE YOU EQUIPPED? How often do you rush out of the house on your way to a show and think only about whether you have enough gas to make it there? That is me. I want to get that shade spot or a place on the end of an aisle or get in before the show reaches capacity. In my haste, I may forget that second chair for Steve (poor guy) or the chamois that I didn't need because rain was not in the forecast (it's Florida...). As best as I try, I have a crate with all the necessary items I may need, if only I remember to place it in the trunk of the car that I'm driving (I have several). A crate in each would be nice. Here is a list of items you may want to consider in your crate:

• The Absorber (best chamois ever)
• Cleaners & clean towels (for after the rain, road dust & bird dodo)
• Compact umbrella (for me) & disposable poncho (for him)
• Chairs (for each person in the car)
• Can koozies (also for each person in the car)
• Fire extinguisher (you never know)
• Hand fan for those women over 50
• Sunscreen for those men who don't think they'll burn
• Blue towels
• Small flashlight
• Small hairbrush & hair tie (I want to look good after being wind blown)
• Basic tools in a small box
• Compact charger that jump starts a car plus charges the phone batteries

Also, don't forget to put air in that spare tire that you think you may never use (been there before).
Have fun and see you at the shows!

Thank you for keeping FCS the #1 car show resource in Florida.

MAY
EMERGING FROM HIBERNATION

MAY
EMERGING FROM HIBERNATION For most of us that live in Florida now, we originated from "up north". May signaled the start of car season and Memorial Day weekend was the start of boating season. As a native Ohioian my Nova was locked in an old wooden barn from Halloween until April. Once in a while we'd get a day or two in the 60's in early spring and I'll take it for a spin only to have the cold drizzling sleet return.

When May arrived I knew I was in the clear and the weekends started filling up with shows. I would get a stack of flyers in my car announcing upcoming shows. Then organize them by dates and decide on Friday where I was going for that weekend. My biggest decision of the week. Life was simpler then.

October would come and the weather would change and I knew that the last show would be on Halloween weekend. That would be it for my Nova and me. We'd be separated for 7 months and I'd have to play Atari to bide my time until spring.

Have fun and see you at the shows!

Thank you for keeping FCS the #1 car show resource in Florida.

Article for Keystone Motor Club...Why Bob doesn't try to turn FLAcarshows.com into...Why Bob doesn't try to turn FLAcarshows.com into Mike Kelly's cruise news.
Why write this? I have more than one reason.

My most recent rejection slip for a car story.......a story is what I thought I saw them
asking for........... partially said this:
" I have envisioned editorials about the overall show, generally, such as “great show”, “lots of cars” “excellent venue", "featured cars and their owners" etc, plus photos of the cars. More like an article for a magazine..However I can appreciate the word you spread about the car scene."

If only I had known it would be so easy to avoid rejection.....All I have to do is copy any Mike Kelly's Cruise News car story, insert the buzz words , then substitute specs of a car and send photos. Gotta remember the buzz words though.
------------------------------
Why NOT make any magazine look like every other one?

Reason #1:
Because today Car and Driver magazine looks just like Motor Trend.
During the Brock Yates editor, era of Car and Driver there were a variety of articles
that somehow were related to the car scene. During the D. Randy Riggs editor, era of Vintage Motorsports there were a variety of articles also.

Today Car and Driver magazine is the same "road test" magazine as Motor Trend. I can count on the annual road test of Porsche vs Corvette, and I can tell you in advance that Corvette always wins.......and once I learned that? I have no reason to read either magazine any more. And I quit reading them...... before both of them became Consumer Reports where the value of a car is determined by price per pound.......
------------------------------

So now we get to the letters to the editor, which used to be varying and entertaining as well as
comments, criticisms, etc......and witty retorts from the editors, but when the letters to the editor say:
"The car scene isn't like it used to be" then we are all doomed.......

WAIT A MINUTE!
People say that now and have said that for the most recent 20 years......
which tells me that the car SCENE is constantly changing.

But the question remains.......Will the PUBLICATIONS continue with "We've always done it that way"? .......until people quit reading? Or will the rebels among us step out and dare to be different?

All progress is because of the rebels in society.
If you don't believe that Ben Franklin, (a writer of Poor Richards Almanac)
was a bit of a rebel himself.......against the trend, flying a kite in a lightning storm, If you don't believe that Ben was a rebel, then in 2022, unplug your big screen TV and go stick your finger in the outlet.......lol......

Tara, you rebel!
Keystone Motor Club does exactly that, and Life is still simple for us!
We listen to our music, we show our cars, we tell our tales,
and for a brief moment in time we don't get any older!

That is why people continue to have a good time at Keystone Motor Club and why we continue to grow.
Welcome to the Keystone Zone!..........you rebel, you....
