I put "NAV" into her first car show. Seriously, I didn't even see this coming; forgot that it was scheduled at the assisted living community that my 92 year-old mother lives at, called Pacifica (in Millcreek). The attendance wasn't bad. I asked the DJ, who was in charge of the show, what it took to enter a car and he said, "You drive in, park and register. What have you got?" I pointed across the street. "Stinger". He told me to go fetch it. I stayed for the whole show, which was about three and a half hours long.
That's my aged mother, and we were saying goodbye to her favorite helper, who is moving to Las Vegas tomorrow.
Here's a link to the folder with all the pics and three videos.

This car show is an annual thing, put on by Pacifica to raise money for the battle against Alzheimer's. I think the show took in over $5,200. I "won" a raffle item, but didn't collect: as the video indicates, I had to check my ticket. And a funny thing happened: while I was making the video, my mother gathered up the tickets off the table cloth and put them in her hand. And when I came back to produce ticket "255", the tickets were nowhere to be seen. My mother should have gone into sleight of hand: because nobody at the table saw her do a thing. It was only many minutes later that a friend sitting on the other side of my mother noticed her holding something and found the tickets. Gone was my chance to be a "winnah!"
Oh yeah, I did get a door prize, in appropriate colors, because NAV is a She.
1st oil change...bolts holding the plastic covers were rusted...I'd presume they all will....best to get them replaced with stainless steel.......there are 11 of them for the base model......some different length's but all 1 inch long bolts will fit...I replaced mine with neverseize til I get around to it....I hate rust.
