You need some rust holes, bullet holes and stop sign floorboards. Sorry Charlie, your car is just too nice.

Still in the throes of our weekend chaos I'll be brief.
Big article in the NYT? Another nail!
The reporter looks to have done some pretty decent research, but hey, there hasn't been an "Oakland" roadster show in over ten years.
Some little tidbits I find interesting, Kurt Jones (Billetproof founder) is the editor of Goodguys Gazette. Their main personal interviewee owns a NYC art gallery, and has a highly structured club complete with RULES!! Were it not so humorous it would be pretentious.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Not that Pebble Beach should mean anything to regular people..............it's just for the rich anyways.......Traditional Hot Rods are already featured there.

Accepted by the New York Times!!!! Does this mean Rat Rods have now become politically correct?????? IMO an endorsement by some fruit loop at the Times is just about the same as a kiss of death!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
