Wow, talk about an EPIC car show!  Run to the Sun 2016 in Myrtle Beach was THE place to be for any car lover this past weekend.  We pulled in on Thursday and our cars were numbers 2,403 and 2,404.  By 8:30 am on Saturday morning the number of cars of 3,210  with more pulling in all day.  That's a hard number of cars to imagine so I"m just going to show you what it looked like for three full days.

There was nothing 'new' here. Every car was pre 1989 with most being much older than that.   It was GTO, 1932, 1934,  Mustang, Corvette, Wagon, Chevelle, Chevy II, Nova, etc. heaven.  Matter of fact, there were so many nice cars that at times it was hard to see the trees for the forest so to speak.  Talk about sensory overload.  I wanted to take pictures of everything, but instead just snapped a few of those that really caught my eye for one reason or another. You can see those pictures below.

We already have plans to return next year.  Here is our one piece of advice to those  who wish to go next year.  Make sure you rent a scooter early- they go fast.   We walked it on foot for two days before we gave in and got some.  Not only will you save yourself tired legs and feet, but the scooters make it a much faster trip to the bathroom and vendors as well.  

If you went to the Run to the Sun 2016 Myrtle Beach, we would love to see your pictures!

Traveling in the opposite direction of last weekend we enjoyed our early morning ride over to the Richmond Hill History Museum to meet some new folks for Cars & Coffee Richmond Hill.  (Clicking the link will take you to their Facebook page.)  Personally, I love the combination of cars and coffee first thing in the morning.  As the caffeine kicks in you notice more and more fascinating details, and sometimes find a new car to fall in love with.  By the way, I did find one I fell in love with, and it was for sale!   A deep blue, four door beauty from 1935, body was straight, interior updated to modern standards, and to top it all off- a corvette engine to keep it moving down the road nicely. Don't let anyone tell you a four door can't be a gorgeous hot rod.   I didn't buy it, but I did get a picture, along with some others that caught my eye.  Yes, I slipped in a picture of our Vette with its newly added stripes.

After coffee and a couple of hot dogs we headed down the road a bit further to Hinesville, GA and spent the afternoon at  the International Car Show walking among the cars and eating funnel cake.  The Chevelles really held my attention but there were a couple of cars you just don't see often.  You can check out the Studebaker and Anglia below.

Another great weekend, filled with travel, adventure, coffee and cars.  Life is good.
