    Here is the album: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?page_id=175

    Well every 5th Saturday they do a cruise and car show ($2 cover that goes to a local special needs athletic field) on Old 41 Highway- aka the Dixie Highway. I got to show my A for the first time and they put it right up front as everyone enters the show- I was honored (and a little confused they wanted me up front).
    Anyway, enjoy!
    My little POS:

    More proof the 80's are coming back- maybe the new fad in rodding?

    Yeah the Dixie Highway has a following here in Georgia- or at least from the Tennessee line to Marietta, GA. It is a wonderful stretch of old highway with some great scenery.
     
  7. I miss living in Georgia.

    Living in the South is so good that it makes you wonder why anyone is willing to live in snow and ice

    didn't ask, didn't question the claim.

    He was a cool dude anyway- could have been his dads and it was p***ed on I don't know. When you get that old you claim whatever you want to a kid like me. He knew it back to front; every detail, every ****ily replaced screw... everything.

    I guess some of these comments above (and below) the pics are meant to be private jokes, right...???

    It is just a local show that happens every 5th Saturday from May till October.

    As for the private jokes- No, the Mopar guys know about how their cars are- Mopars always seem to be 1 of 10 or some crazy thing like that because you could add and delete so many things on them. Things like cigarette lighter delete options do not make a car 1 of 1 and more collectible. It is just funny to see what some think make a car worth more money.

    And I just realized i put the indy cars in there- those are from The Mitty vintage car race they hold at Road Atlanta every first weekend in May. I went to that Sunday- the morning after the car show.---- That is something real racing/ vintage car enthusiasts should make it out to.
