Cruising Down Memory Lane: Join Us for Fall Cruise Night 2024

Growing up in West Texas was nothing short of amazing. Every Friday and Saturday night felt like a rite of passage. After cruising around Mack Eplen's, I'd find myself parked in the old Kmart parking lot (now Turn Key Storage), watching all the classic cars and trucks parade up and down the streets of Abilene.

During my teenage years, I poured countless hours and dollars into my muscle cars. I have to admit, I was a Chevy guy through and through. Camaros and Corvettes were my passion, and I had the privilege of owning both. Some days, I still kick myself for selling them.

Snap a Photo, Relive the Past  & Cruise from 5 PM - 7 PM

Now, every time I spot one of these sweet rides cruising around town, I can't resist snapping a photo. As I do, memories flood back, and I find myself wondering which high school buddy used to drive one of these beauties. I hope they bring back some great memories for you too. If you're longing to relive those days, mark your calendar for Fall Cruise Night Oct. 12th, 2024 from 5 pm until 7 pm.
