Recent Posts The Generosity of Car Enthusiasts October 26, 2009 One of the amazing “ah-ha's” I have had since I started the www.CarShowCentral.com website is recognizing the great generosity of car enthusiasts everywhere. It is very amazing and heartwarming to see the large number of Car Shows that donate their proceedings to various national and local charities and community outreach programs. I recently reviewed each of the over 300 car show on my site, and I found that well over 30% of those car shows have listed a specific charity that they are donating either all or a portion of their procedures towards.

How did all these scratches get on my cars? Who left their sticky gooey handprint all over my car? Read more The "dessert" of the car show buffet July 23, 2009 I love to attend car shows with my family. It is great to walk around and see each of the cars, all shined-up and looking good. But, there is more to a nice ride other than the outward looks. As they say, it is what’s on the inside that really counts… One of those most-important “inside” qualities is how the car sounds. In my book, that is one of the most critical aspects of having an all-around great show car. Although it may not be part of the judging criteria, it is one of my criteria for an overall great car.

Read more Car Show Central Comes Alive!! April 20, 2009 Enjoy the ride.. A couple of years ago, I bought a cherry, 1967 red Mustang. It was a fun car to drive, and was certainly in good enough shape to enter a car show. But, the hard part was actually finding some car shows in my area... Read more You Sold What for a Pinto!!! April 14, 2009 Oh, the stupid things we do when we are young. Well, it was 1973, and I was getting ready to get married. The price of gas was getting higher. It went from $.33 per gallon all the way up to $.55 per gallon, and I was going to become a family man. There were gas shortages, lines at gas stations, and rationing of gas. I was going to have responsibility. I needed to be able to support my family. How could I be so immature and irresponsible as to keep my sports car...

I recently reviewed each of the over 300 car show on my site, and I found that well over 30% of those car shows have listed a specific charity that they are donating either all or a portion of their procedures towards. What a great community outreach effort! I also guess that many more car shows are donating proceeds to charities, but just didn’t happen to list it on the website information. My hat is off to all those car show event organizers who have helped their communities and individuals in such a very fun and family oriented way. Here is a partial list of some of the charities and organizations throughout the US that benefited from car show this year: St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital Local Food Banks American Cancer Society United Cerebral Palsy Local/Community Charities Fire Departments American Cancer Society Ronald McDonald House Make-A-Wish Disabled American Veterans N.J. Blind Citizens Association Animal Shelters Humane Societies Special Olympics Children Cancer Funds Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation Meals on Wheels Organ Transplant funds Hospitals Boys and Girls Clubs Youth Mission trips High School Bands Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Muscular Dystrophy Police and Fireman fund for 9/11 American Heart Association Blood Drives Toys for Needy Children Breast Cancer Research Kid One Transport Prevention of Child Abuse Church Roof Fund Boys Ranch And the list goes on and on! The amount of money that has been donated to charities over the years from car clubs and car show event organizers has to be in the hundreds of thousand, if not millions. So, a big thank you to every car enthusiast who helped to organize, participate in, or attend a car show this year who donated some funds to local and national charities. By working together, we can make a difference in our communities and in the lives of individuals who are in need of help.
