That's perfectly understandable. Most fire trucks are so inconspicuous that it would be hard to see one in your rear view mirror.

I'm imagining these are all related. Perhaps someone parked a stolen skid steer cockeyed in a drive through after smashing a Civic with it.

@whoistheleader I might go, I might not....
The annual Evergreen Show ‘N Shine is the local show car and motorcycle buffs wait all year for.

That’s because it has something for everyone, from all classes of cars to motorcycles and off-road vehicles. And anyone is welcome to participate.

This year’s Show ‘N Shine will be staged in the Conlin’s parking lot in Evergreen at 1441 Montana 35, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7.

“I think this year's Show ‘N Shine may be the biggest one ever,” said Rick Weaver, who is the chairman of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce’s car show committee. “ We expect cars from all over the Northwest. The cars at the Show ‘N Shine represent every make and type of vehicle you could imagine. It is a great family event, but please leave your pets at home.”

Traditionally the Show ‘N Shine also gets cars from Canada, but that won’t be the case this year as the border between the U.S. and Canada doesn’t open to Canadian visitors until Aug. 9.

Show organizers expect 125 to 150 vehicles at this year’s exhibition. There is no cost to enter your vehicle or motorcycle.

“Folks just need to show up and their car will be judged,” Weaver said.

@highlander You should bring the Datsun. Looks like a pretty good mix of cars there from some cursory internet browsing.

I won't be there tomorrow as the design-build I've been doing has been behind schedule and tomorrow is the last day we'll really get to work on it.
