This is going to be a great weekend with warm, clear sunny skies (finally!) and the Good Guys Spring Nationals Car Show at Westworld in Scottsdale.

I enjoy the Good Guys show events immensely.  These weekend happenings are really a big party in honor of those of us who love the automobile hobby.  There’ll be street rods, classic cars, antiques, muscle cars as well as a mind-boggling assortment of vendors and a swap meet for those enthusiasts looking for their dream car project.

Only cars built from 1972 and earlier are allowed into the show, and with the nearly 4,000 cars anticipated to be on-site there’ll be a multiple of sights, sounds, and smells to take in.  The artistic lines of the different models are masterfully crafted while the mingling of the leather,exhausts and oil smells are ever present with various motor pitches.

Actress and 2010 presenter Kate Winslet wore a pendant style necklace of emerald-cut white and yellow diamonds with matching earrings. They were on loan from Tiffany’s and estimated to be valued at more than $2.5 million.  WOW!  You can bet there was special jewelry insurance coverage on those gorgeous gems!

Tom Ford, a leading fashion designer whose tuxedos were worn by countless actors, sported as many diamonds as the ladies.  His shirt studs were each several carats worth of princess-cut diamonds.

Sound the alarms!
