How long has it been since you went to a car show? If you’re in a northern state, the answer may be since last summer. The current international health climate isn’t exactly conducive to large meetings of like-minded enthusiasts. If you’re looking for a way to get involved in the car scene without leaving your house, has just the thing for you.
As some of you may know, I am one of the co-founders of the 80s and 90s automotive festival known as Radwood. We were really hoping to run a dozen great shows this year, but we’ve already been forced to push back our South Carolina and Philadelphia shows in 2020. Who knows when we’ll be able to get ‘back to normal’ again. We all hope it’s soon.
In the meantime, we’re going to put on a digital car show this Saturday on Instagram. If you have a car, truck, or motorcycle from the 80s or 90s you should definitely participate. So let’s have a fun Saturday online together.
On Instagram. Participate by posting pictures of your car tagged with , #VRadwood, and #RadAtHome

It should be mentioned that I am one of the four co-founders of Radwood, and I directly benefit from people participating in the show. Jalopnik has been extremely supportive of Radwood since the beginning, teaming up with us for events in LA, Philly, NorCal, and more. Every time the show has been extremely rad, and we hope this can extend to this digital version of the show. If it goes well, maybe we’ll do more of them. Hundreds of awesome cars, thousands of enthusiasts will be there. Will you?
