Well, I took the Anniversary car to 'Old Town' last night for it's first cruise. I normally go on Saturday nights, which is the 72-and-older only cruise nights, since most of my cruisers are classic Mustangs.
Fridy nights at 'Old Town' are for 72-and-up, so the late-model crowd is there. I knew I would not relate to all the 'rice' there, but I figured rthere might be a few oldsters like me.
As it turns out...they didn't want to let me in! Thier new rules are that any car of 1988 or newer vintage must have at least FOUR visual modifications, like rims, decals, neon,etc...
I thought they guy was joking! The whole idea of a cruise night is for people to show off a car(or cars) that are special to them, and have been maintained, modified or kept in a certain way.
I don't have any beef with allowing modifications, but to say you have to have modifications is asinine!
The fact that this was a:
a) relatively rare 'Super Coupe'
b) slightly more rare 'Anniversary Edition'
c) freshly painted and in excellent visual condition...
...meant nothing.
For someone else to tell me my car is not good enough to show because it doesn't meet their personal descriotion of worthy is about the biggest insult I can think of.
I have been taking cars to Old Town for many, many years and have participated in many of thier events over the years.
But, no longer.
I have made my last Old Town visit.
