Mecum Trip

[PBR]

Good time at Mecum Kissimmee yesterday. Too many cars I would have liked to take home. Here's a small little sampling of some of the ones that caught my eye. Only saw one 72, but didn't get a picture of it. Overall... a ton of GT 350's...and of course lots of Boss's. There was a Hemi Cuda on the floor as well at a mere estimated block range of 500k...but oh so sweet.

Outside of the outrageous $95 dollar food truck lunch (yes, with tip we had a Po Boy sandwich combo, two fish taco combo and an order of crab fries with two diet pepsi's for $108 bucks which I thought was absolutely ridiculous for a standing room only food truck area)...the show was a lot of fun. We definitely could have spent two days easily, as we were there for about 4 hours and still left without seeing at least 8 tents of cars. Good crowd too.

Gave me inspiration to spend my day today in the garage until I watch my Packers play at 4. Putting in new shocks today and getting the floorpan cut out and cleaned to insert the repair piece. More to come on that later this week. Have a good Sunday all.

Did you get her at the car show?


Update: Car might have been less expensive, LOL

 

[PBR]

Nope, that one I scored all on my own without an auction.

Wow, that's crazy on the cost of a food truck lunch!

I want all the cars in the pictures, including the Ford GT in the background. I just need a small loan of two or three million, can anyone help me out? I asked uncle Elon, he turned me down, said I should buy electric cars.

Are you allowed to bring in a back pack? Maybe pack a sandwich or two ahead of time.

We didn't think about it to be honest. We kind of assumed when they listed food trucks, that it would be your standard "fairground" type food. Next time we'll know. I spent more on that lunch than I did with buying some show swag. lol.

Yes, the ultimate car show. I Love the ambience. All car people, all happy. If you live in the Great White North, you can usually find cheap airfare to Orlando. Couple days in the sun with awesome cars... no brainer.

Great to hear this. It just happened that we were taking a short family vacation to Orlando next weekend over the holiday. This was planned long time ago and didn't even think about the Mecum. Watching a bit of it on TV last weekend I realized it ends next Sunday. I already got "permission" from the family to excuse myself on Sunday to attend. It is the last day so may not be ideal but they typically keep a lot of the cars in exhibit until the end, or at least I hope. I am very excited.

PS: sorry @PBR for the Packers. Leaving in WI I am also a fan. Funny that I couldn't watch most of the game because I was traveling for work at that time to Philadelphia of all places!

Yeah, game was a nightmare, although we didn't deserve to be there. Just not top tier yet.

Have fun at the show. Heads up...grab some food before you go in lol.
