    Is that the extra large peanut butter filled pretzel container I see? Good road snack! Have fun. I'll be watching too.

  13. Got married there in 2005, was a great show. Met George Barris and Bill Hines, that was cool. First and only time I went being an East Coaster. Looking forward to some pics, I bet a lot has changed in 19 years.

    I find it cheaper and less hassle to just mail them a check, saves all additional costs and time;)

    Well, I’m jealous. None of my heaps are ready for that kind of a road trip.

    I’m in Vegas to pick up a hydrostatick transmission just happened to coincide with the show. I swore I would never come back cause it had devolved into a rat rod freak show. They have really tightened up the entry rules and it’s a great show again! Lots of cool cars. Sorry, not one to take pictures.

    Went a couple of years ago on a Friday. What a joke.
    There were hardly any cars there and almost all the concession stands were closed. The pictures look like when I was there, one car for every ten parking spaces.
