Check out a ballot push in Arizona to limit the state's ability to track your driving habits for road tax collection. Interestingly, Colorado has a pilot program to do just that, according to the news story. See: youtu.be/0iQGQkV1e9A?si=Uliyk8Ao8d2zbCS2
Highlands Ranch Hot Rodders Car Show, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, Highlands Ranch, CO - Car show at the Kaiser Permanent parking lot, 9285 Hepburn Street, Highlands Ranch, CO, 9:00am - 1:00pm. This is a charity event, you can pre-register at: www.hrhotrod.com/ . The map locator is: maps.app.goo.gl/VAva3P7zAcXAS7Dx5 . The show is about an hour north of Colorado Springs, all along I-25 and W470. This show appears to be for hot rods, but since many of our club members also have non-EVs, give the show a thought.  The club hard-core road tripping members made the trek to North Platte, Nebraska for the annual Colonel Cody's Show and Shine. Much meat and meat by-products were consumed. Many conversations were had. One club member (me!) even went further into beef country and visited the Pioneer Museum in Minden, Nebraska. After that, a small car show was attended in Alma, Nebraska. Never neglect Nebraska in your car show considerations!
     Make this weekend a great one by going to Colonel Cody's Show & Shine in North Platte, Nebraska. Numerous club members are leaving on Friday morning to make it to the evening Pork Chop dinner at 6:00pm.  On the Saturday before Labor Day, if you're looking for a car show, there's the 719 Show.
719 Cars and Coffee: Saturday, September 5, from 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM at the Soccerhaus off Centennial Blvd. (4845 List Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919), welcoming all makes and models for a casual morning meet. The map locator is: maps.app.goo.gl/LzMKGPRWUis9n8Uy6 For those that read the Scoop Magazine, the new issue is available.
