It’s amazing how it’s evolved! I still recall when they added the live music in 2015. That was a game changer!

I think the best part was moving to the larger venue in 2018. It allowed more people to join and really grew the community spirit!

Definitely! And then they started having themed nights, which made it even more exciting!

5

I loved the themed nights! The first '80s night was such a hit, I think it brought in a whole new crowd.

6

What was the first vehicle you ever saw at Mikey and Mel’s? For me, it was a classic Mustang. It blew my mind as a kid!

7

I still laugh when I think about the impromptu dance-off during the last Cruise In! It’s those moments that really bring everyone together.

8

I have to say, it was a mint condition Chevy Nova! Still the best car I’ve ever seen at the event!

I appreciate how inclusive it’s become over the years. More families can enjoy it now, and that’s really encouraging!

10

Agreed! But I have to admit, I really miss the old format when it was just cars and classic rock playing in the background.

11

I get where you’re coming from, Jennifer, but things need to evolve. More variety means more engagement!

12

I think the addition of food trucks was a huge plus too! You can’t watch cars without snacks, right?

I do agree, but sometimes less is more. It feels a bit different now, not in a bad way, just… different.

14

Well, every Cruise In has its highs and lows, I suppose. This makes it all the more memorable!

15

I’m really excited for Mikey and Mel’s Cruise In this year! I’ve seen everything from classic Mustangs to modern Teslas. Each car has a story, and the community vibe is unbeatable!

16

Totally agree! I remember last year a guy brought an incredible 1969 Camaro that he restored himself. It was a show-stopper!

17

Does anyone know if there will be any featured vehicles this time? I heard there might be a showcase for electric cars which would be interesting!

18

It’s not just the cars that make it special; it’s the people too! I once met an elderly gentleman who shared his experiences with racing back in the day. He had such a passion!

19

I love those moments! The stories behind the cars often reveal so much about the owners’ lives.

This event brings the community together! I can’t wait to catch up with friends and see their rides. I’ll probably bring my '83 VW Rabbit this year!
