The Appleton Octoberfest:
The Car Show

September 30, 2006

Octoberfest has begun here. Yes, I know it is not yet actually October.. It was a night when people came out to walk down the "Ave" and look at classic cars. Emily brought a sandwich, but I treated myself to a brat, a burger, and a slice of pizza. It was a real street food bonanza for me. And I dreamed about my future car, which will be an Austin Healey.

But I would probably settle for a classic Mustang:

A Wisconsin state trooper had his car there.. giving people the chance to look inside and talk cars with a real trooper. I didn't do any chatting, but I sure took a look in the window.

Quite the crowd showed up to the event.. Most, like me, probably walking around and imagining themselves sitting in a cherry classic. Personally, I feel like I have a repressed classic car side.. How can you care about old roads and not care about the old cars that drove on them?
