So what do car enthusiasts talk about when they get together at car shows, "We talk about cars," Smith said. "We could talk for hours about our cars, about other people's cars, about car shows, about the history of the car, about cars in history, historical facts about cars, we invite each other to other car shows, and anything else we can think of about cars."

Sadly, Smith said, car show enthusiasts also talk about some of today's cars, and today's hot rods. "Kids nowadays love horsepower," he said. "Kids love their cars, and then you have the folks who love their electric cars. It's sad to admit, but there are very few of us left who love the classics as much as I do."

As a car show enthusiast, Smith said that he will travel far for a car show. Not all car shows are the same, but the people usually are. "That's my favorite part," said Smith. "Car shows bring the community together for a day of wholesome fun, music, good food and your neighbors. We can be at other events and never mention cars or car shows, but when you catch us at car shows, for sure, we're talking about cars."
