Classic car cruise nights will take you back to a time when drive-ins were the rage and gas was 23 cents a gallon.

Throughout the summer classic car buffs get together to show off their restored vehicles. There are more than 100 cars at some events. Walk down the line of shiny cars with hoods up, ooh and ahh at the engines, and swap stories with owners and other car enthusiasts. Music from the 1950s completes the evening.

The monthly Cruise Nights held from April through early fall include:

• The first Saturday—Classic Cruisers Car Club, open to all makes and models, 6 p.m., Sonic Drive-In, 909 North Webster, Spring Hill. Distance from Tallgrass Creek: 17 miles.
