Many people might be offended by the name "Rebel" Car Club. Don't get "all shook up". We have no dark, sinister political agenda. We are rebelling against is growing old quietly. We refuse to sit at home in our rocking chairs and recliners waiting for the kids or grandchildren to call or stop by. Not us! We are going to car shows and cruise nights almost every weekend from March through October. Sometimes to indoor shows in the winter.
We do charity events. Last fall we went on a toy run to collect toys for sick children. About eighty cars was involved. We left Claremore at about eight o'clock. Stopped in Pryor for a little while then on to Vinita. After lunch at Cowboy's, the run completed the circle back to Claremore. By the time it was finished, a large enclosed trailer was stuffed full of toys and games.
The pictures in this post are from that event. As you can see, even Elvis came.We are rebelling against good cars and trucks being thrown away just because they have a few years and miles on them! Those "old cars" are a part of history and need to be seen and appreciated by everyone. Almost every child that comes to spectate at our cruise nights walks around in awe. When my grandson was about three years old, he would say, "Pick me up, Papa. I want to see. Wow! Cool!" Now that he is almost eleven, he is saying, "I wonder what kind of car Papa is going to build for me. I hope it's a Mustang". Oh, well. We love him anyway.
As the host says"we are rebeling but we are not really sure unless it is empty nesters that has a lot time on our hands and are now out enjoy some of our "cruisin orphans" money. That is what our kids say they are from March to October and all in between.
