Again as in the last few years, to just be thankful for another great year, I take my car out for the "last Ride of the Year" on Dec 31st. I am planning on doing it at about noon on Dec 31st and the long term weather forecast looks favorable. If you want to take part in this almost yearly tradition, I am planning on being at the South County Café in Deale, Maryland at Non on Dec 31st for a "Buy Your Own" Lunch and general BS session for about an hour. All cars are welcome, but I know of a couple of Shelby's within 25 miles (Hint, Phil and Corey)
No plaques, no trophies, no certificates, just a good time
Anyone interested ?
This will be followed up by the "First Ride of 2019" to Chesapeake Grille in Harrington Harbor on Jan 1st at about 2:00pm
Owned since 1971, NOW DRIVEN OVER 250,000 MILES, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

I am interested for sure. As long as the weather is ok and there is no salt or brine on the roads I will plan on attending.

I will be there  with or without  snow  LOL
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

It only snowed a little bit last year, barely covered the ground

Snow does not bother me so much as the massive amount of salt the dump on the roads.

I drove a Shelby yesterday and I hope it's not "the last ride of the year" yet...

We should get an East Coast "last official show of the year" thing....

Maybe in NJ
I know a guy with a parking lot and clean bathrooms

I am on a slow hunt for a car but here in Minnesota our driving season has ended.So for now I enjoy following along.

CSX 4133


I exercised both the Cobra and the Shelby today, bright sunshine and 48 degrees with remote undulating roads beckoning. The exhaust note bouncing off the tree lined curves of a once still forest. I noted the distinct differences in these two as I tested their limits, before slowly returning to their warm sanctuary this Christmas eve.

That's a great Christmas gift.

The best gift I got for Christmas - me and the Mrs. taking ole "Barnesy" for a cruise. Mid-60's, sunny and clear! Florida weather sure beats Central NY in December!  ;D
