August 4, 2006 - Tower Shops cruise in, weather permitting. Tower
Shops is located at the southeast corner of I-595 and South University
Drive, in Davie. 6:00 to 10:00 is the official time for the event, but
come when you can. [Earlier is better, as it is easier to reserve a
space with a car rather than with a small traffic cone.] The first ten
VW's to come get free entrance for their car (but not for any For Sale
signs). Entrance is $1 per car, or $5 per car with a For Sale sign.
Bring your own refreshments, or dine at one of the surrounding
restaurants.
