Every year, car enthusiasts across mid-Missouri look forward to summertime opportunities to take their cars out without fear of road salt corroding their most prized possession. It’s also a prime time to clean up their cars and share their enthusiasm with other car lovers.
However, not being a car lover shouldn’t stop you from creating memories and going to these events, many of which are a family-friendly way to spend the morning. No one minds if you don’t know how much horsepower the newest Mustang GT generates (480, if they ask). Grab your sunscreen, earplugs, and sunglasses, because it’s time to hit the road to some car shows.
