2013 Detroit Autorama Ridler Award
The Ridler Award given out each year at the Detroit Autorama for the past 50 years is arguably the most prestigious award a car builder can put on his shelf. The cars that compete cost more than some of us will earn at work in a lifetime. The video below not only recaps some of [...]
Getting Respect
I have found that most people, car folks or not, respect other peoples property. However, there is a certain portion of the general public that are absolutely oblivious to respecting others’ property; heck they don’t even know what a high quality object is. It is these people who make car shows stressful and leaving your [...]
Set Up Day at the 2012 Muscle Car Corvette Nationals
Every year we go to several car shows ranging from local to national events. We go both as spectators and as participants. It is always much more fun when we are showing. Unfortunately, most people who go to a national car show and never get the opportunity to display their own car at such an event. They never [...]
Kris Kringle Car Show
When the weather is warm and the sky is clear it is time to drive and cruise. However, when it gets cold with snow and rain in the air it’s time for indoor shows! Here are some photos from one such show we attended just before Thanks Giving. This was a smaller local show but [...]

Nashville Good Guys 2012 Photos; Saturday
It was a big relief to enter the grounds at the Saturday Good Guys event in Nashville. There were lots of cars and the quality was high. The turn out was a little less than previous years but was still well worth the visit. However, because I-24 was closed getting in and out of downtown [...]

Hot August Nights 2011
Hot August Nights in Reno is one of those big events that has so many vehicles you can never get a good look at all of them but that doesn’t mean you don’t see some great stuff. Such large shows can almost be overwhelming. Our friends Steve and Nancy Whitaker from Ankeny, Iowa made their [...]

Louisville Concours d’Elegance at Churchill Downs
At the same time the Forge Muscle Car Show was going on the Louisville Kentucky Concours d’Elegance at Churchill Downs was going on. One of the Talladega Family Reunion attendees immediately left the Forge Show and drove up to participate in the Coucours. That is way to much cleaning and polishing for me in one [...]

We recently received another link to a New Zealand car show that featured American cars from one of our friends, “Kiwi” Robert Pegler. I thought all you might enjoy this video. Now, for all you US gear heads remember they drive on the “wrong” side of the road down there. The first time I saw [...]
