What is it about jalopies that some of us find so appealing? Perhaps it’s just the idea that they’ve lasted so long and offer clues to what life was like in a different era. For whatever reasons, vintage-car shows are here to stay. And the annual Old Time Machines exhibit even benefits a good cause: Operation Tango Mike, a local group that sends care packages to deployed troops. See the Old Time Machines car display on August 14, 8 a.m.–4 p.m., at Library Park in Lakeport. For details, go to curbside.tv/lakeport-show.
