It was a fantastic morning for Wheels & Wags, a fun, family-friendly community event bringing together pets, people, and cars for an unforgettable day in Tempe — all for a great cause!

The Eastside Road Runners hold a Saturday afternoon car show in Apache Junction that features an impressive variety of hot rods, custom cars, and an eclectic mix of music. The event, which is carefully organized and widely publicized, often takes place in collaboration with local businesses, such as Fresh Press Burger, creating a vibrant and casual meet-up for car enthusiasts and families alike in the East Valley.

Car shows abound in the Phoenix/Mesa Valley. From classic hot rods to modern muscle cars, sports cars, custom trucks, and rat rods, the variety is a feast for the eyes and a thrill for automotive enthusiasts. Most car shows here are morning events, but there is no shortage of afternoon and evening events. With yesterday’s afternoon temps hovering around 80 degrees (+/-), car show guys could hardly resist seeing their chrome colors change as time slowly passed with kindred souls.

Cars, trucks, and amazingly unique custom rods filled the expansive lot today at American Furniture Warehouse, which is conveniently located at 4700 S Power Road in the vibrant city of Gilbert, Arizona. Enthusiasts and families alike gathered to admire the diverse array of vehicles, showcasing a true passion for automotive excellence and craftsmanship.

What a wonderful day it turned out to be in Queen Valley, Arizona, as we celebrated the Fire Auxiliary’s Tenth Annual Car, Truck & Bike Show. Despite the weather forecast, the sun shone brightly, and the sound of powerful revving engines filled the air. This exciting event, open to all years, makes, and models of vehicles, drew an impressive, enthusiastic turnout from locals and visitors alike.

Yesterday’s Vintage Aircraft & Custom Car Show at the Commemorative Air Force Museum was one of the best car shows I’ve been to in a while. Presented by Southwest Street Rods, the show featured cool custom rods, antique aircraft & WWII war birds, food trucks, and a great crowd. As with many car shows, this one was a benefit for a charity organization, this time for MAM (Military Assistance Mission), which provided financial and morale support to our current Arizona military, their families, and post-9/11 Purple Heart recipients.

Last week was a bust for car shows across the Phoenix/Mesa Valley. We had massive rainstorms and flooding, so needless to say, there were no car shows. So, this week I checked out Lenny’s Burger Car Show on Saturday, October 18, which is typically hosted on the second Saturday from 8 AM to 11 AM.
