East Valley Cruisers Friday Cruise In • December 12, 2025

Well, it’s been quite some time since I last posted about a car show, but today felt like the perfect opportunity to get out and reconnect with the local car community that I’ve missed so much. It’s incredible how these events bring together enthusiasts from all walks of life, and I was eager to immerse myself in that vibrant atmosphere again.

While my last post about the East Valley Cruisers Cruise-In in Mesa, AZ, dates back to April 11th, I want to assure you that I have made a couple of visits to the events since then, and this post is my eighth post tagged as “East Valley Cruisers” (click here to see them all). Each time I stop by, I find myself inspired by the incredible vehicles on display and the passionate people who come to showcase them. The dedication and love for cars in our local community never cease to amaze me.

This visit to the Cruise-In was particularly inspiring for me, as I was captivated by the variety and quality of the vehicles on display. While there is almost always an impressive showcase of cars, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there were even more extraordinary vehicles present today than I had initially anticipated. Among them were several unique models that I had not encountered before, each one showcasing the rich history and innovation in automotive design.

While we are technically still in the Fall season, and just a few days away from officially entering Winter, today felt remarkably more like a warm Spring day, with temperatures soaring to an inviting mid-seventies. The pleasant weather drew many enthusiasts and collectors, showcasing a stunning selection of vehicles catering to every automotive taste. From eye-catching street rods and powerful muscle cars to sleek sports cars, timeless classics, and robust pickups, there was truly something for everyone to admire and appreciate.
