Unpopular opinion. I'm so frustrated I hate car shows/cruises.

My suggestion? Go drive your Dart... There are lots of great drives in your area... Go for a drive, maybe you'll discover other like minded people, if your not out doing something you wont see others out cruising & they won't see you... I'm betting there are others in your area looking for something to do... Maybe throw a message up on a billboard at the local Auto Parts store or even on C/L or Facebook... Organize a couple 50-100 mile cruises & see how it goes... First time I did it I had 17 cars show up... We've done some 300+ miles drives but you loose a lot of folks when you do the longer drives... Only the hard core types want to go on the all day or multi-day drives... Been doing it since 2006.. Did 6 of them earlier this year then it got hot... It's starting to cool off so we'll be starting up again soon...

Oh, I've also helped eight guys add A/C to their cars so cruising is more comfortable... You might look into it...

Another thing... I still do most of the organizing of the group, calls/texts/emails.. But picking the route is shared, different people know different interesting places or different routes to get to the same places... You pick the route, you lead the cruise...
Excellent idea
