At the car show... Day 4 of 5...

I know, I know... "Car show"... oh well


This bike was worth it. Did you notice how long it is? Two lengths of chain running that monster.


Here is another monster... Usually a bug has a small engine in the rear. This one had a custom hood, as you can see, with a Chevy smallblock 305 in the front. The rear wheels on this thing were a good 2.5 feet wide, each!


Built for the autobahn... this Lambo had four carburetors on its engine. Pure speed.

Three things I love in no particular order...

Chopped low riders...


Chevys...


And Chargers...

At the car show... Day 1 of 5...

I always enjoy seeing the old hotrods and the fancy flame jobs. That is one badass custom hood.


I just wish more of these guys would keep the engines hummin'.


I enjoyed seeing the new Corvette...


But it's not what pops to mind when I hear "classic."

Bitchin' Camaro...

I came across some slides that I took in high school and the following were of my first true love. These pictures are about 18 years old.

I bought this cherry a month before my 17th birthday and dropped the plates on the day that I got my drivers license.

I had taken the day off of school for my drivers test and my first excursion on my own was to the high school to show off my ride and to pick up my girl.

This '77 Chevy had a 305 8-cylinder engine with a 4-barrel carburetor. It was jet black with chrome bumpers, dual exhaust and dark tinted windows. The interior was a deep-blood-red. It had rims that reminded me of the General Lee and air shocks in the rear that could give the car a little extra lift. The engine didn't purr... it GROWLED!





After a couple of fun years I sold it and bought my '68 Skylark...
But that's another tale.

California... Day 5... Part 2 of 2...

This town was all about hot babes, muscles, cruising down the boulevard, and out of shape tourists like me.


This is what it all about. Fun in the sun.


Then you find the guy in a leather jacket checking his pictures on a 1" screen. I love candids :)


I had been talking about wanting one of these recently and then I saw it... I've got to get me one of those!


I've REALLY got to get me one of those!


The town had some really nice shops and architecture.


And we even found a mini-me version of Chance is a Harley shop. And yes, the chicks in the shop let Chance in and adored him.


As we were gearing up to leave we noticed the seedy back streets of this lovely town.


And this image pretty much sums up my vacation. Odd.


At this point we heard that our ailing Chili-pep took a turn for the worst. We left early on Monday to return home and bury our dear companion.

Don't laugh... but upon arriving home to bury our Schipperke, Chi, I found an empty peanut butter container in my driveway. My wife later pointed out that it was a container of Skippy. A sign that he is still with us? And he lived to be 13... That number just keeps on popping up in my life. Maybe I'll wait thirteen years before vacationing again.

Back in black...

When I said I wanted to see myself in that car...


...this wasn't quite what I meant.


They were SO aggressive back in the day.


Pure muscle.


One of, if not "THE", greatest car ever to come off a production line.

VA-ROOOOOOOM...

Oh, the unmentionables I would do for any one of these rides...










...but I really want my '69 Buick 400GS back :(
