Okay, so me thought that the season was over except for Toys for Tots (which I didn't make it to unfortunately - stupid midterm grading), and I get this email about our local fire company having a car show as a fundraiser. Seeing as we're used to driving across state lines to show, driving around the corner (literally around the corner) seemed like a breeze.
So, Lady and the Tramp represented the VW crew, and also a large percentage of the import crew. The lot ended up looking like a Mustang show early on. But, most of the cars that showed up were domestic classics and antiques - old TBirds, Corvettes, Victorias, etc. And since the fire company sponsored there were the older fire engines and police cars there too.
Lady actually attracted a lot of attention from the children! They got so excited over the stuffed lady bug, mini-Beetle on the dash, and of course the lady bug floor mats and the flower vase. It was fun to watch them drag their parents over.
Here are some pics:

Actually, funny story, not for me at the time. Pulled into the lot, lady cop made sure I was showing and when I pulled up to two of the volunteer fire fighters (still in high school) they started freaking about how I didn't belong in the lot with the show cars, etc... They quickly changed their tone when they saw the trophies and the supplies start coming out. And the funny thing is - neither one of their "show" cars 1) had a display, 2) was stick (let alone 6 speed), or 3) was shown with the hood open! Gotta love the stereotypes that people come up with against female drivers!
