There are also a TON of awesome vehicles in the car show — classics, customs, muscle cars, and more.
Beautiful weather, cool cars, and plenty to see today. Come out and say hi! 🚘☀️

DMACC Auto Club Getting It Done 💪🛣️
The DMACC Automotive Technologies Auto Club (Ankeny Campus) on Thursday April 23rd took part in the
