The Stories that Drive Car Culture

Por Adventure Science Center

Car Culture Car Show

So much of the fuel that powers the success of Car Culture is the stories and pictures submitted by YOU! We knew we wanted to bring in an interactive element to this brand-new experience and we're excited to share the funny, moving, and inspiring stories behind the pictures you see in the South Gallery.

Carl W. - Trunk or Treat + Chrome Cruise

Trunk or Treat

"Trunk or treat. Halloween candy handouts for local kids. The picture was taken at the Villages, Fl. Of course, the little red corvette has no trunk didn't bother the kids." - Carl W.

Chrome Cruise

"Every spring, the Chrome Shop in Wildwood, FL has a cruise in for big trucks. All the Chrome you can stand. Awesome machines on I-75 at exit 329." - Carl W. 

Mellissa M. - The Perfect Shade of Blue

A Tribute to Mom

"My mother passed away suddenly in the fall of 2019. After struggling through the holidays, we then endured a tornado and the beginning of the pandemic. As if it couldn’t get any worse, my car was stolen from my driveway last June. Mom had unexpectedly left me a small parting gift, which I had tucked away for an emergency. I used that money to help purchase a new car. I had to order it three weeks in advance because no other color than her favorite blue would do. I think she would be pleased." - Mellissa McKinley

Sara S. & Her Son Erik - A Life-long Passion

Behind the Wheel of a Dream Car
