The NHRA Northeast Street Rod Nationals. Long name for, "CAR SHOW"!
Levi and I hopped into our awesome custom Chevrolet Prizm (it's custom because the muffler is held on with a piece of baling wire) and cruised over to the fairgrounds to strut our stuff......just pulling into the parking lot, we knew our ride wasn't going to turn any heads - some of the cars in the general admission lot should've been in the show!
As we kick off the picture parade, I want to make sure our readers notice that the first picture has NB/T in it. The post covering the motorcycles at Shelburne Museum was criticized for showing too many motorcycles and not enough Levi. (But I see him every day - not so motorcycles and street rods!) 
He's faking the smile: it was overcast and in the low forties as we walked among the cars. Northern Daddy was cold - Levi had on fleece lined overalls and a sweatshirt(and a winter hat, until he pulled it off and threw it at a shiny car one too many times).
We saw several hundred custom automobiles, and decided that this one is the one that Northern Mommy would most like to drive on a daily basis (yeah,...that's a winter car for sure...!).
One of my favorites. I love the old-style cars with curving fenders and acres of grille. And metal - I like cars made of metal. New cars these days have too much plastic - and no character. This car has plenty of character - and a price tag of over $50K.......
Daddy - make that one go VROOM! Levi was polite enough to look at the colorful cars, but his real interest was when a barely-muffled V-8 barked its way through the fairground. Every big block that rolled past, he was watching real close - and grinning his face off!
Seeing one perfect classic truck after another didn't help to convince me that I don't need one.
Enough with the cars, get me French Fries!
All of those cars, all of the noise, and Levi thinks the bleachers are the coolest thing?!

Very cool! We went to a car show this afternoon as well, but our weather was absolutely beautiful:)
Good to see that NB/T likes the loud engines - Jack still covers his ears and tries to get away...
Love the off center shot of the front of the red '34.(At least I think it's a '34-hard to tell)
