For Folks in and around Austin, or visiting, here are some of the local cruise-ins and upcoming shows.
One of the reasons I totally love living here (in addition to being able to wear shorts all year, the music, the food, sunshine almost every day, friendly people, NO SNOW/SALT, and amazing salvage yards with nearly a total lack of rust within a few hours’ drive..) is the HUGE car-culture Austin has. You can find somewhere to hang out almost every weekend.
