CABIN FEVER IN THE GREAT NORTH

During the winter, I get cabin fever just like many of us in the Northern part of the world. The days are dark, the snow is white, the wind blows more, chilling us to the bone. We all dream of nice, sunshiny days.

Since most who read my ramblings on Mike's Show-N-Shine are car lovers, we dream of the car show where our own car shines and might just win the award. Well, again, since I am the dreamer here, I am dreaming of this special show. It is now past the middle of January and I see February coming...a month of only 28 days, and then March, when, close to the end of the month, one might feel some warmer (50ish) days.

Then comes one of my favorite months, April. The daffodils are popping up on the sunny (60ish) days and crocus are peeking their little purple heads up to take a look for summer. The days are warm enough to actually take the cover off Big Red and see its beautiful poppy red paint. I open the door and sit in the seat, looking at the dash, dreaming of when the speedometer will show that he is actually moving down the road. Get the picture?!!

Thinking of the many things to do when spring arrives, I also think about the cheapest auto insurance. I know, in the spring, I must review the insurance on my PT Cruiser and renew it on Big Red. So, that done, I go back to dreaming about the first car show of the season!

Well, it ain't time yet!! Dream on little guy! But, Mike's Show-N-Shine has no lack of pictures of summer and the car shows that pop up all over Western Michigan.

So, since we have another 2-3 months of dreaming before it happens, let's look back at some of the beautiful cars from 4 years ago when Mike's Show-N-Shine first started posting them. I hope you have a good time looking. Before long, we will all be doing the shows!
