Cars

Last big car show of the year. We'll still hit one more local show, but this was the second and last Goodguys Show we go to of the year. This one was in Kansas City, KS at the Speedway: The Mr. and I have a little game we play after every car show. What was our favorite car? His was this one:

And this one. He likes the Camaros:
This was mine. I like Camaros too, but I saw this Hemi Cuda and the Camaros went out the window:
And the boys, being carnuts as well, decided that Twizzlers make good roads:


And you have to get "tatoos":


Fall is my favorite time of year, but I'm always sad to say good-bye to Summer and car shows. One more local show, then the '68 will be in the garage and The Mr. will be going over it with a fine-tooth comb and getting it ready for next year.

Hot Rods

We are a family of hot-rodders. We own a muscle car and we love taking it to car shows every summer. Our favorite one is the Goodguys Heartland Nationals in Des Moines. It's always held on or near Independence Day and this has become our new 4th of July tradition.



Here's a shot I took from the aerial tram looking down on one of the streets. It is street rods as far as you can see, it seems. We heard there were nearly 3500 cars attending this year! There's always cool stuff to see, like this. This was one of the picks for the Winners' Circle.
Check out this cool tricked-out bus. That's a surfboard on the top. That's one of my little dudes in the picture.
A custom-built truck. It even has a DVD player in the dash. Sweet!
Here's my other little dude. He thinks attending car shows is exhausting. That's what we're actually doing today. Attending a car show. This one isn't so far away, only about 45 minutes or so.

Peace. FF
