    It's the other 99.9% of the cars along with the jacked prices that make it so nauseating.

    welcome to any major citywide event. Try getting a hotel room for the Pebble Beach Concours/Concourso Italiano/Historics and report back. $300-500/night with a 4 night min. Woodward Dream Cruise? similar story. ANY major event, not only auto events, is cause for the hotel industry to jack up the prices and grab what they can.

    thats the freemarket/capitalist system.

    as for tradtional rods... there are more than you would think. The popularity of the traditional style has not been lost on the attendies of Hot August Nights.
