    Every Friday, they have a big car show in downtown Wheaton. The show is 6:30-9:00 with music, face painting for the kids, etc. etc. Here's a few I took tonight, including some dope who put a 911 in the vintage show :p !! I'd love to see some FChatters out here in the farmland of the western suburbs!!

    I know there a small one every Wednesday night out at Joes Place in Marengo. News to me about all these other "regular" shows. Don't know how I miss them. I guess I'm not paying attention. Shame on me.

    I actually tried to pull in with the 308 once and was turned away! Downers Grove is a great one to go to if you get there before 5:00. Any later and you'll be cruising around waiting for someone to leave!

    I don't know. It seems with the limited time I get to drive and enjoy the car, I'm not sure I want to sit out at a show. Which reminds me, I have to get some pics up...

    I pulled in around 7:30 (show starts at 6:30) and parked in the heart of the show. We walked around the show, got a tiramisu shake at Graham's Chocolates, and drove out at 9. Do not miss Graham's!!! Piece of cake! When did they turn you away with a Ferrari? They're really looking for a full show these days so I'm sure you would be welcomed these days.
