Comments: My kids and my self have been out of the loop lately due to the economy. We attended the 4th annual open car show at the South Florida Tattoo Expo today (Sun.) Scott you did one heck of a job keeping the music going and keeping everyone cool on such a hot day. lol. Steve Shwartz you put on another great show and I commend you both. I just want to say to everyone and including the participants who brought out all their beautiful cars your such a great bunch of people and have a great family going. You guys and gals are such a class act. Alot of you we haven't met but associate your face with your car. We try to go to as many as we can. And after being out of the loop for awhile we can see what were missing. It stands out. Great Fun, Great people. You guys and gals stand alone to none. Having fun with great people and helping charities it doesn't get any better than that. Alicia Robert Chris |

Comments: On August 3rd, 2008 I attended my first show as Club President of Breathless Performance Corvette Club and let me say that it was AWESOME! The comradery was great, the music was invigorating, and being there on-site, was a must see event that couldn’t be matched. Scott the Music Man made sure we left completely entertained! Our host Russ G was most thoughtful to our needs. My advice to all is looking on the upcoming show lists, find out when they are going to be and attend them. Every weekend hundreds of car lovers pull their prized possessions out of the garage and head to parking lots from dusk till dawn rain or shine, 52-weeks a year, this loose-knit community comes together to celebrate cars. Show your passion and excitement that so many in Southern Florida have for vintage/exotic/performance cars. |

Name: Dave Weber Comments: Attended the World Ford cars of the world show Sunday. 150+ cars ventured out in the sun and heat to participate in the 1st ever show at World Ford. There must have been 60 Mustangs and 60 Corvettes there. If only we had a dragstrip close by !!!!!! Scott wowed us again with his magical tunes, reminding us all of our younger days. I have to say a special note of thanks to the people at Breathless Perfomance. They invited me to join their group without hesitation, not like the other [ ] clubs that only told me not to park with their clubs cars. Thank you to Scott and Mickey from BP, you so inspired me that I joined your club. Even my friend with a Mustang was impressed on how your club treated both of us. Thank you again. |

Comments: Thanks ! to all of you who attended our first Movie/Cruise Night. Over 75 cars parked in Huizenga Plaza, under star studded clear skies to see "Ghostbusters" (1984)... The city's choice of Movie....not mine. Cars in attendance ranged from street rods to Ferrari's to Cobra's to T-Birds to Muscle Cars to Packard's and a......Duesenberg !! Several Car Clubs were well represented including the FT. Lauderdale Region AACA, Starlight Cruisers, Mercury Club of South Florida, plus a dormant Club that is now back on the scene, the Pharaohs. A new Corvette Club, the Breathless Performance Corvette Club, under the direction of it's President Scott Argow, were very well represented. The "Drive In" Movie is 75 years old this month. The first drive in was located in Camden, NJ I am honored to have been a part of this memorable History in America. A special Thank You! to our own "Scott the MusicMan" for playing the Music we all love, and for the use of his large speakers for the Movie. Movie/Cruise Night was sponsored by Auto Nation, the Downtown Development Authority, and FLIFF (FT. Lauderdale International Film Festival) Also, special thanks to "Papa Ougots" our food vendor, not only did he have delicious Strombolis, Chicken Wings, Burgers and Hot Dogs, but at the end of the evening graciously donated all the left over food to the needy and homeless......... Next Movie/Cruise Night Saturday August 30, 2008 Flier Update:
Due to the overwhelming success of our first Movie/Cruise Night,
our Sponsor Auto Nation, has informed me that I may choose the Movie
selection for our August 30th Movie/Cruise Night. I am asking those that
were in attendance, or anyone else..........what Movie you would like to
be shown that evening. Contact me: Russ G
merklvr@msn at

Comments: A number of Model “A” Ford owners around the world have come together and declared Saturday, July 26, 2008 as INTERNATIONAL MODEL “A” DAY. This first year, it is coincidental with the eightieth year of the Model “A” Ford’s first model in 1928. There is a contingency plan for a local rain event date of Sunday, July 27. To celebrate the day and their car’s eightieth birthday, thousands of Model “A” Ford Restorers and Preservers will be taking their cars out for a drive, and to socialize with other Model “A” enthusiasts. The specific activities will be determined by each local group, found in all fifty states and about thirty other countries. Some groups will be driving to picnics; others will participate in car shows and contests to help celebrate the day. Our group has coordinated their activities with two Ford dealers, both of which will help support the day’s activities. We will be meeting @ 9:00AM at Maroone Ford of Ft. Lauderdale, 1333 N Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale (across the street from Bayview Cadillac) and leaving about 12:30PM heading north on US 1. At the same time a group will be meeting @ Maroone Ford @ N.E. corner of Linton & I-95 in Delray @ 8:30am and leaving about 12:30PM and they will head south on US1. Both groups are meeting @ 1:00-1:30PM @ Pompano/Mercury/Lincoln/Ford on 28th Street & West side of Federal Highway in Pompano Beach. We will be leaving there 3:30-4:00PM. If you have a Model A and wish to join us you are welcome to do so. Thank you very much. Very truly yours, Michael J. Vitetta Coordinator Name: Dave "Webhead" Weber Comments This probably will not be printed because it contains negative feedback, but at least Scott will be the judge, jury and executioner. I attended the Lauderdale by the Sea show on July 4th. I think for the 1st show there it was run okay. Many things can improve for next year, like help for Russ. If help was there it was hiding, Russ was pulled from entrance to entrance by people like me trying to find out where to enter, where to park, etc. Next year will be better. Now all Russ has to do is get some help to make it run smoother. I was parked in between Scott's sound system and the band playing in the tent. Who thought up that one? It took away from the super job that Scott always does. Thank you for allowing me to vent here. There is obviously a lot to putting on a good show...and Russ and the city certainly did a GREAT job for a 1st show! Your helpful suggestions are welcome... Thanks for the input Dave. Name: Nathan Comments Love the photos and the free screen cleaner!!! LOL It's always nice to get a hello from our "out of state" visitors Name: Visitor Comments Hello, Are there going to be any picture's posted of the Festival Car Show in Pompano in May (see reply below...) Name: E.JMac Comments Hi, Me and my friends really enjoyed the show and hope to see it next year, even with the high gas prices. Enjoyed the people and all the cars. Thanks PS When will see the pictures from the show? Soon...(I hope)....still working on them...
Comments Scott once again, you set the beat in the Heat and rhythm of the day paying close attention to all those details that make it a special day. My Corvette/Tower Shop Friends and I have been attending these great events for quite some time now and see why so many people keep attending. I continually look for when's the next show, anything to get out of the house. Even though we can't always win, but I did this time, The sense of comradery and brotherhood can be felt all day cheering on all those who do win those wonderful awards like me. I also want to acknowledge Jack, judges & supporters that put forth so much effort to make every show such a success. Shiny cars, Awesome music, Keep up the Great Work. Again I got to mingle with old friends, see the latest "Tattoo Art" and make some new ones. See you Friday Name: Chuck (Festival Show comments forwarded to show coordinators Russ G and promoter Dick Barton...) Name: SOMHawk2002 Comments Just a quick note to acknowledge the passing of one of the truly distinguished sports car gentlemen of South Florida this past week. George Bassett passed away June 11, 2008. He was a very unique and wonderful person who generously shared his wealth of knowledge with friends. George owned and more importantly DROVE some interesting vehicles including a era Buick Stage One, Porsche 911, and the vehicle that made us car show pals, his 1997 Pontiac Firehawk Formula LT1 Serial #001. He passed away far too young, and he will be missed. Name: Peter and Richard (The Brothers) Comments Hey Scott...still waiting for the 2007 Mardi Gras Casino Car Show to be posted. Can we purchase a copy of the show on disk? Thanks for everything you do!
Sorry, those photos will eventually get posted
when I get caught up. -Scott |

Name: JOHN ABRAHAM Comments: Hey Scott. Thanks for sharing your vacation trip stories and pictures. You can tell you had a great time. That's what vacations are all about. There's a lot to be said about southern hospitality and I guess you experienced it first hand. It's good to get out of Florida and see how the other half lives, but I was a little disappointed that you were sorry to come back, but I think that's because you had such a great time. Anyhow, welcome back and I for one am looking forward to attending many more car shows. Your music and photos are awesome.. John & BRUTE |

Name: Russ G Comments: "Now that the smoke has cleared"... by Russ G. A heartfelt thanks from Dick B and myself to all that attended the record breaking Festival Car Show in the record breaking heat. There were well over 750+ cars, including many that decided to enter through the rear entrance behind the mall, to bypass the registration fee, once the word was out....it was a free for all. Nice guys huh !! Because of the many complaints of parking and judging from last year's show (610+)cars, we decided this year to assign parking spaces (Dick B and myself worked till Midnight the night before chalking every space in the lot) and go to a point type judging system to make it fair for all cars entered. The problem began in the early AM when cars decided to park in spaces other than the ones they were assigned to (either to park under that one tree for shade, or to park with their friends, or another club. By late morning as hundreds of cars came in........you can imagine the tempers flaring when their assigned spot was taken. I tried with much difficulty to calm the situation.....but in the end....it was impossible. Because of this, the judges had much difficulty finding all the cars in a particular class to judge because they were scattered all over. The outcome.....late trophy presentation with not all cars receiving their awards. Since the show, (matter of fact that same evening), I have been receiving hate mail via the net, phone messages left on my machine with vulgar language, threats and even one person wanting to boycott all my shows. It cost over $50,000.00 to produce the show, for a Registration fee of $20.00 everyone received: Breakfast-Value $5.00, Hat-Value $10.00, T-Shirt-Value $10.00, Food Voucher-Value $10.00, Festival Dollars-$25.00.... Total $60.00! Music-Cars-Friendship... Priceless !!!!!! My Dear Friends.. join me for one movement, close your eyes....and just imagine if.....there were NO MORE CAR SHOWS OR CRUISE NIGHTS...... Life is to short ! In the last several years we have lost so many of our dear car friends......our car family....it is a good family.....let us all think of one another as family....and take care of each other...as family !!!! The judging sheets from the festival show are being processed....many of you won trophies. The winners will be announced on Scott's Website (Thank you! Scott !!!) Trophies and the Cash awards can be picked up at the Festival Mall office. Dick B and myself are in the process of making changes for our December 7th show. I welcome any input that some of you might have on the show.. please contact me. To all those that were unhappy with this show (you know who you are) The December 7, 2008 Festival Flea Market Mall Show will go on......with or without you !!!
Thank You! and God Bless ! -Russ G

Comments: Hi Scott, let me start of saying the “Music-Man” came through again at the Festival-Show … you really can spin them songs man. Scott I just read your comments on the festival show and I’m 100% with you it was absolutely a INCREDIBLE show. I hung out all day with the “Just-Us” car club we had a blast. The canopies were set up generator to power the fans, cold drinks, folding chairs and great company. JR and wife schooled me on antique cars, Anthony was educating my on models and years of classics, Big AL with those special cold drinks…. in his trunk, Gino, Mercy, Evelyn, Jr & wife, John hard - @__ Hardisson and I walk around harassing everyone we knew and tried to see all 700+ cars but don’t think we got to them all. In all it was good times I don’t want to get into the judging or car parking because it’s obvious 700+ cars is no easy task. Dick and Russ were outstanding from my point of view 700+ classic cars wow. That’s my 2 cents my thanks to all I shared the day with you know who you are and Russ, Dick and Scott thank you…see you next show! |

Name: Sal DeBellis Comments: Hello Scott, Just want to say I had a great time at the Festval show! As I write this I speak for myself, but others may feel the same way I do.It is a great achievement on Russ's end to pull off and organize such a large car show, his intentions are so that everybody there has a good time,and most of us did do that. I believe that if you go to these shows just to win a trophy you will be disapointed,first of all you arrive in YOUR trophy and you leave in YOUR trophy! If everybody got a trophy someone would complain about something else! Look Man just go to the show and have fun! Maybe Russ should stop giving out trophys and just give everybody a plaque or something for being in such a large show. I think the look on the faces of the people walking by your car and stopping to say WOW! is better than any trophy! As I see it, all the cars have the best paint.. the best engines..the best interior and so forth. Everybody needs to lighten up and have some DAM fun! Life is to short! Lets all be thankfull for what we have, not what we dont have! Sal |

Comments: Dick, Russ and Scott, Just a quick note to let you know what a great time the show was once again. The pre-registration was a great idea and the thought was obvious to organize the clubs and classes toward making everyone happy. It was an effort toward some degree of ease in judging and concluding in a timely fashion. We pre-registered and had a spot assigned but upon arrival were told that it had been taken. We didn't think much of it until it became obvious that the judging was going to be a major undertaking for the sheer numbers of cars. I couldn't believe the total outrage that resulted! For anyone to get that worked up over a parking space or, much less a trophy is ludicrous. Don't get me wrong as I take great pride in my car but, it's a hobby! Like most of us, I enjoy showing the car off but, I'm not going to lose my sanity over such triviality. I have enough of a temper that I usually expel (as all 12 year olds do) in my work and generally won't in my leisure. I enjoy the people we meet, the music, the cars, trucks and bikes (although, not especially the heat) at all the shows and hope to continue till some nut shoots me for a parking space (or trophy). Again, we had a great time and this brief posting is to let you know that we deeply appreciate the effort towards improving the show and hopefully, the next show will be an even greater success on the hope that all will honor the "honor system". Many Thanks and Best Regards, Ralph Kroehle |

Comments: Dear Car Friends, 10 days ago, many of you attended my Cancer Benefit Car Show at the new Frank & Patties Restaurant in Sunrise. It was a hot day ! not only from the heat of the Sun, but from the overwhelming financial support of you, the car owners. Over $5,000.00 was raised to help battle this illness, that has affected many of our close friends and families. The owner of the restaurant Bruce Horner (that many of you met at the show) contacted me to produce the show for him. He told me that his Wife Debra was suffering from cancer, and that he wanted all proceeds that day to be donated to the Cancer Society. I naturally agreed, as my Wife is also battling this killer illness. My dear friends, Mrs. Debra Horner has lost her battle, and has recently passed on. One of her last wishes was to see her Restaurant open and surrounded by Classic Cars. Thank you all from my heart, for making her wishes come true. Our prayers are with you Bruce. Frank & Patties is located at 3800 University Drive, Sunrise, FL, just North of Oakland Park Blvd. Russ G |

Comments: Scott once again, you set the beat and rhythm of the day paying close attention to all those details that make it a special day. My wife and I have only started attending these great events for less than a year now and see why so many people keep attending. My wife even asks me "Babe when's the next show" making me feel very fortunate that she likes to participate. Even though we can't always win "Best of Show" The sense of comradery and brotherhood can be felt all day cheering on all those who do win those wonderful awards. I also want to
acknowledge the hosts, judges & vendors that put forth so much effort to make every show such a success. I wish more events like these were held in Hialeah so that more people could enjoy and hopefully motivate them to participate in future events as was my case.... Shiny cars, Awesome music, Great food, Super people... What a wonderful place to be!...Keep up the Great Work!

Comments: Scott, Another great show and another fantastic job well done! I look forward to seeing the great new happenings with the website! I would love to see a car show at the Hard Rock. That would be a great place! Any way we could make that happen? I would be more than happy to help! Anyway, beautiful cars and wonderful new friends is what it's all about! Sincerely, John Sheppard |

Name: Dave "Webhead" Weber Comments: Entered the Cooper City Show this past Saturday. Nice to see Scott the Music Man spinning the tunes, of course he did a superb job. Plenty of cars in attendance, some outstanding beauties that I'd never seen before. All in all it was a fun day to sit in the sun and have a hot dog and a soda. Looking forward to 2009. Went to the Dania Beach Cruise Night right after the Cooper City
Show. We decided to have a bite to eat at the hot dog stand instead of
the restaurant on the pier,(which is overpriced and the service is
poor). |

Comments: A personal Thank You ! to all that participated in in my two car shows this past weekend. Saturday's night cruise at Ocean's 11 saw perfect beach weather and attracted over 50 great cars, some having never been shown in our area before. Special thanks to our car friends from Miami & Hialeah who attended to help raise awareness and financial support for ALS. Sunday's benefit car show in Margate for the Elks Lodge, to raise money for children's charities, had a total of 107 great cars, coming from Hialeah to the South, and Lantana to the North. It was a perfect (hot) day.. and a great time was had by all. A very special Thank You ! to Scott and his music for 2 great shows !!!!! On Sunday May 4th, I will be holding a benefit car show at Frank & Patties Restaurant in Sunrise , Florida for Cancer. I passionately invite all of you to attend and support this terrible illness that has affected our families and friends. Please check Scott's website for show information. Thank you again !!! Russ G |

Comments: I apologize! I really didn’t mean it! As many may know I do like to experience the 402 horses under the hood of my 1934 Ford Phaeton (that is why I buy the cheep tires). At the same time I do know that, while leaving a show, it is “definitely” NOT the time to burn rubber. I do know that it shows irreverence to the promoters, sponsors and property owners involved. Not to say, that usually there is police at most of the shows in attendance or for control purposes. That said: I must admit, that while leaving the Elks show at the Chevy Chase center in Margate last Sunday, I left half my tire melted and laying on the exit to the parking lot. Again I genuinely apologize; I meant no harm or disrespect towards anyone. I love attending these shows and wouldn’t intentionally do anything to jeopardize that in any manner. My defense; When building my car they kinda had a “oh crap” moment. They install the brake pedal then installed the accelerator against the tranny tunnel and had plenty of room for both until they went to install the steering column. That is when they said “OH CRAP, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS WHERE THE COLUMN SHOULD GO THROUGH THE FLOOR”! So in their infinite wisdom they surmised that they would cut off the pedal and weld it offset of the actuator shaft going to the brake cylinder. This solution seemed plausible until it was done and was flabbergasted to find that you literally had to wedge your foot between the brake pedal shaft and tunnel. I have dealt with this for years and had adjusted to it. At least I thought I had adjusted to it, because as I left the show Sunday I unthinkingly had my foot to high on the accelerator and I unknowingly wedged my fat foot between and when I pulled back my foot literally came out of my Boat Docker’s slip on shoe, and with the added factor of turning, allowing the tires to break friction and I left a strip on the road as well as leaving a strip in my shorts. Luckily, I managed to kick the shoe off the pedal before customizing the rear of a red 66ish Mustang that was ahead of me. Again I profoundly apologize to Russ, Scott, The Elks, the people of Chevy Chase center, along with everyone else involved at the car show. Jay, your "defense" gave me a good chuckle...but I believe you! I've actually been in your shoes (no pun intended)...so I can relate! An unknown broken motor mount once left me spinning circles in the middle of an intersection. Knowing you are an honest car guy, and in no way would jeopardize any show (intentionally)...you are (at least as far as I am concerned) forgiven! It was a pretty decent burnout! Thanks for "owning up" to what happened...I'm glad you didn't have to explain that one to the cops! LOL! |

Name: "Webhead" Dave Weber Comments: Reading Jay's e-mail got me to remember when I was going to back my daughters T-bird out of the driveway. I had back surgery and my right foot wasn't working too well, so I got in the car, put it in reverse and proceeded to spin the tires the entire 70 foot length of my driveway, out into the street and almost hit my neighbors truck in his driveway. I never realized that my foot was on the gas until the ride was done. It was sure scarey at the time, but we all had a good laugh, and still do even to this day. The hard part was getting those 2 thick black tire marks off of the concrete driveway. Thanks for bringing back some funny moments. |

Name: Sal and Pirjo Perna Comments: Hello Scott, I want to thank you for not only the great show last Sunday, but also for playing "409" for me. I really needed a Beach Boys "fix", and it hit the spot. I'm checking out your site for the first time, its real cool, and has lots of info on up comming shows and events, and the big surprize is that it is current. No more chasing those shows that are no longer running. Looks like I will be making some road trips, see you on one soon, Sal and Pirjo Perna Thanks for the kind words...I'm glad you "found" us! See you at the next show... |

Name: Scott Argow Comments: Scott, great show good giveaways we loved the hot dogs and beverages that were supplied all day. My family had a great time and it was nice to see old friends and make some new ones. Next time how about more classes in order to keep from the same people winning. I don't know how you can put an 1984-2008 Corvette in only 2 classes, how about by generation. Again great job, see you on Friday's and at the ocean's 11 show. |

Name: Dave "Webhead" Weber Comments: The Maroone Auto & Truck Show Crew; Another great show! Jack and crew ran a smooth, flawless, and enjoyable show, AGAIN. Scott was the funniest I've ever heard him be. The music selection is some of the best anywhere. FREE HOT DOGS & SODA all day long. Top that one!! Maroone Auto Plaza was a perfect host, no pressure or anything. Looking forward to the next show. |

Comments: Hi Scott We had a great time yesterday at the maroone chevy show, as always you did an "OUTSTANDING" job. I would like to hear maybe a little bit more 80's rock if I may suggest. The music format you used at "Cheetah's Show" was definetly down my avenue.... Thanks for everything you do in this great hobbie that we all share.... Albert |

Name: Tom Atk Comments: There was another gentelman taking pictures at the Cheetah adult club car show. Most of his pictures included dancers from the club poseing with the cars. would you or anyone else happen to know where I can view the picture, I know how to purchase and view the fotos from the official Cruising sites. This guy had a white hat and gray hair in a pony tail, black t-shirt and blue jeans. It might have said excite magazine or something like that on his shirt. We paid for some dancers to pose with our vihicle and he was also taking pictures at the same time. Just would like to see these pictures to see if there are any better. I've attended the Mustang supply, Mopar nationals, The Cheetahs and almost every friday at sr-84 and university so please help me if you could. Thanks in advance |

Hello Scott!
My name is Randy Fieler. I am the parts
manager at South Dade Dodge in Miami. The dealer owner has put me on a
quest to try to find a local Mopar club or such to put on a Show at
our dealership. At this point it would not be a trophy winning event
more of like a "show off show". We would section off a part of our
sales lot to allow space for the show cars. We would also supply food
& drinks (hot dogs, burgers, chips, sodas & water). The idea would be
to have it like a friendly monthly or ever other month gathering, a
place for friends and family to go and show off their
(Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth/Jeep/AMC) cars and hang out in our great
South Florida weather. I can see from the Cruisin South Florida web
site that your shows are typically large scale and they look great!
Perhaps you could help or point me in the
direction of someone who could.
Randy Fieler, South Dade Dodge,
16501 S. Dixie Hwy., Miami, Fl. 33157. 305-278-9994 x236

Comments: Hi scott, i would love to see some pictures of the girl with the checker bikini, that girl was lookin so fine as f!@! thanks Dear "Mr Racer": I am sorry to say...I was unable to get any "quality" shots of "the girl in the checker bikini", or any quality shots from most of the show, from my location behind the stage. This was my best shot of your "checker bikini" girl (on left). As you can see... many in the crowd had a pretty good viewing position... (photo right) > |

Comments Eugene, My hat's off to you and the rest of the crew for such an incredible job. This show was by far the best I've ever entered or even attended. Seeing Darrell again was exciting and my son getting to meet him for the first time was the topper. It was also great seeing several other familiar faces from the races as well. Then the trophy... it would have done my late father proud. I can't thank you enough. You won't have to twist my arm to get me back next year! |

Comments: I can't wait to see the pics from the Darrell Gwynn show. Unfortunately, I only took 6 then got busy. I would like to thank everyone that helped & also all that showed up. We all had a great time & even though the weather looked a little rough it turned out great. Jet Cars, Funny Cars, Pro Mods, Nascars, Gassers ... I was in awe. Great Times, Great Cars, Great People, Great Band, Great DJ, Great Guests .... GREAT!!! |
