Support local car shows. You know, the “any day that ends in ‘y’” show: drive to a location, have a good time, and leave without incident.

Support local car shows. You know, the “any day that ends in ‘y’” show: drive to a location, have a good time, and leave without incident.
No antisocial full throttle exits, commercial booths, judging, PA system or branded tote bags. If the vehicle was older than 1999 and not a total pile, it was allowed into the Epicure Classics meetup on Sunday May 29.
Give local organizers, Epicure Market (for hosting), and social media (for spreading the word) credit: I arrived shortly after 9am and the lot was pretty much full. So was my iPhone’s battery: so I opened the camera app and got to work.
Highlights? JDM cars, a few European unicorns, a memorable bumper sticker I want on my car, and…keep scrolling.
Hope you enjoy these on location photos from Epicure Classics. -mb

New policy: I refuse to get into or out of bed for anything less than a Renault Sport Clio V6.

Renault Sport Clio V6 • michael banovsky // speedster.news
If it means having to brunch with the well-coiffed Viva Bastardo crowd, sure—toss me the keys to a Renault Sport Clio V6 and I promise not to get hollandaise on the seats.

Are details important? To car people? Are you kidding me?
It could be an air freshener, choice of wheels, a sticker, old registration or stylishly-chosen seats: all are proof of life, expression, and experience.

after the show, I asked friends where they could get the sticker (middle) and Evan came through! Thanks! Get yours at @lesloupsmotoco (pronounced “lay-loo”) and check out Evan’s music also. • michael banovsky // speedster.news

Meeting strangers for a Sunday morning car show never gets old.
(Does it?)

ok ok the yellow Ford Focus was not a part of the show—however, its owner was clearly there to visit the show. A for effort • michael banovsky // speedster.news
Thanks to @epicureclassics + @romango3 for organizing the event and I look forward to the next time I can make it out.
Casual, no drama car meetups are where it's at. ✌
