A picture of My gas station

Well I got moved, and the town held a ribbon cutting for Me and My family yesterday, I would like to thank Hip, Greaser Frank, Rock Shop Dave, and Bob Baily for attending. I will be having a car show/ party soon and will be inviting all hamb members to come over and join us, I'm going to find out if I can block the street off or use the side street and what not like that , I will post the date when I get one. Hip got the info a little wrong My station is the oldest Texaco left, it was built in 1936 and has a 3 bedroom house attached in the rear, it became an independant in 1995. Here is a pic

 

That's just plain NEAT!
What's the address and directions from LA so we can come get a "fillup and the fluids checked"?

 

Awesome Doc lets get a grand opening party going. Let me know if you want to do something

-Bigdaddy

 

Drj, My address is 27195 20 Mule Team Road Boron Calif, At My place We pump the gas for the customer, clean windsheilds, check tire pressure, check oil and other fluids, just like the old days, it may be the last real service station in Calif. Bigdaddy, heck yeah, I'm not gonna have a party with out Ya, You will be one of the 1st people I get a hold of when I can set a date. here is a shot from last night, forgive the lighting or lack there of. Von Doc

 

Damn, that's nice!
Looks like we'll need to stop in Boron next time we're near there.

 

Congrats!

 

Lightened it up a little - very neat little shop. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you, but a 'service' station seems like a radical idea thee days!

 

Hi Doc- I cant come BACK again for a while!.....But it looks Real cool- By the way,Good luck with the bussiness end man......Later,Kenny

 

Congrats! Is Boron in the high desert? I'm planning a So Cal visit during the holidays, would love to stop by.
Good luck with it, man!

 

how mutch do you charge extra a gallonfor the old style theme???? You hiring anytime soon??? too bad im across the country

 

Kind of a long way for a fill-up, but if I'm ever in your area, I'll look for it. Good luck. If a place like that can make it anywhere, California is the place!

 

The first photo-thats how a service station bay should look- with a hot rod parked in it!!! Cool! Good luck with the business. Good thing about full service, back in the old days, when I was a high school kid, worked @ service station for awhile mid 60s- get to see a lotta leg cleaning windshields!!

 

Nice to see a post from you Doc. Congrats!

 

That is too cool dude!!!! I'm jealous as hell.

 

Congrats. Looks like a cool place.
Lot's of mining history in the area.

 

Congrats and Good Luck, Doc!!!

 

sorry couldnt make it out, if you look hard you can see the part across the top of the building in the pic where the texaco letters were. I only noticed now cause you showed me and Ryan before.

 

Holy***** that is cool! I want one of those

 

I think its cool you bought that place and are running it.. Like the first pic with the hot rod in the service bay.. Hope you do very well...

 

Way to go! Nothing like a bit of entreprenurial spirit (cant spell that word).

Love the name of the road, 20 mule team!

Been thru there a few times and remember that station, now I know I'll hafta stop there.

 

I'm going to San Diego on the 25th so I'll have to stop in for a fillup and a window wipe. That's a neat place you've got there.

 

Congrats. Great looking place. Looking forward to paying ya a visit one of these days.

 

You have done what i've dreamed of for 35 years!
Congradulations!
I wish you all success!

Congratiulations man!

Ditto with all the comments. One question, how the hell do we find you from LA by way of Phoenix AZ. And please let us know about the open house/party so we can make a road trip out of it.

 

Thanks everyone, I really have been enjoying Myself here at the station, and You can find this place right off the 58 freeway , I'm inbetween the 395 & 58 juction and the town of Mojave. so if a person was heading toward Vegas You would pass Mojave and find Boron 6 miles before the 395 freeway, it is a small town but it is on most maps, exit at the Boron ave exit and turn right then down to 20 Mule Team rd and make a left, I'm down on the left hand side and it is the only station in town. I've been lucky enuff to meet 3 hamb members since My move and hope to meet more, and if Ya pull in make sure Ya tell Me Your a hamber, oh My hours are 6 am to 5 pm mon-fri and 8-5 sat and 9-5 sun if You show up after hours knock on the door and say Your from the hamb, that way I will know not to shoot 'cause I'm allways packing, Pimemovers buddy Ryan saw 1st hand how I greet people late at night when they show up and I don't know'em bang bang bang. Hip & Prime, We gotta start planing the Rod*******s car show with Rock Shop Dave. Von Doc

 

Wow Doc, how many here can say they own a gas station? How sweet it is! The nite pics are as cool as it gets. Like Cadlights said, I'm jealous as hell. I'm just over the mtn. from you in Taft (oil country). Guess I'll need to head that way and topoff with some hi-test!

 

Way Cool Doc. I'll see you on the way home from the LA Roadster show swap meet next June. I gotta help support the new business...
