When a guy starts channeling Car Talk, my brain tends to turn off. If you’ve ever dated a car guy (or girl) you know what I’m talking about. Gyroscopes, thing-a-ma-gigs, what does it matter as long as my car runs? Well, there’s an event this summer that can bring together both car lovers and normal people: the classic car show. Just like that perfect date movie blends action and romance (I’m thinking Public Enemies—Johnny Depp all dressed up as a gangster!) the perfect summer event blends big machines and pretty designs.Being an all-American tradition, there are classic car shows all over the state. From Newport to Medford, OldRide.com has compiled an extensive list of classic car shows in Oregon. And if you really want to make the car-lover in your life happy, buy tickets to the Portland Historic Races this weekend (July 9 – 11). When you suggest checking out the races or a car show, your honey’s going to think all those lectures on gaskets and spark plugs have finally sunk in.
