Mariposa Car Show 2016
Once again it was time for my hometown car show. All makes are welcome and there were a lot of cars despite the threat of rain, which thankfully held off until later in the evening. (Thank you Lord!) I had a really good time talking to lots of other fine Mopar folks about their cars, and the many visitors who came to check out my Charger.
It was a fun show!
Here are a few photos of my charger at the show.
People continue to enjoy the diorama I made to show major stages in my Charger's journey over the years.
One of the things our Chamber of Commerce (who organizes the show) tries to do each year is to invite a celebrity of some renown in the automotive world. This year we had the chance to meet and talk to "Horny Mike" from the TV show "Counting Cars". He was a neat guy and really likes Mopars and seemed to enjoy my Charger and its back story.
Here is my wife, daughter, and myself with "Horny Mike"
Getting close to time to head home.
Nothing like the tail of a '70 Charger!

Fresno Dodge / San Joaquin Valley Mopars cruise in 2016
One of the Mopar car shows we always try to go to is the San Joaquin Valley Mopars show in Madera, CA. The club also coordinates with Fresno Dodge to have a cruise in, show and BBQ at the dealership the Friday night before the show. This sounded like fun, and we had a good experience buying our new Dodge Caravan at Fresno Dodge in July so I planned to drive the Charger down and participate.
There were at least two dozen cool Mopars that showed up and some really cool folks to talk to.
Here are some pictures from the event, these were taken by me, with my phone, so they are not up to the usual high standards set by my wife with her Nikon.
