Cruising returns to Van Nuys Blvd

Last month, the Lamplighter/Corkys crowd had no idea there was cruising further up, when I said something to them about it. The now Corkys is so far from the main activity, it's like a separate event. We need to join or connect the two

 

hey Reid, still waiting on those VNCA stickers you said you mailed out last August.....hmmmm

 

shut up show up and cruise...

1 year anniversary since this things been started.

 

I'll be there representing 1935........

 

mschevelle, do you know what happened to the Saturday night Canyon Country cruise? Wasn't it a once a month deal?

thanks

alan

 

Hey Rikki,
Got a hair flip for ya.

=mzchevelle;5320091]I called today to verify that is it now called "Corky's" and the new sign went up Sunday. The location is still the same. Very confusing, but I am glad it is straightened out now. Reid, sorry I doubted you.[/QUOTE]

 

I think that Reid has backed out of this. Too much flak from city officials.

 

3rd Weds. of the month (a week from today)

 

There weren't that many cars cruising the blvd. last night. Whuzzup with dat? Last Summer, the lanes were jammed. Are the crowds falling off? Even the Mobil station on Burbank Blvd/VNB was quite empty. The gustapo was watching the parking lot @ Ralphs (losers). Like that overpriced store would fill up that lot with customers.
Thank you, Warner, @ Corky's for your use of the lot (again), the DJ (pretty darned good) and the searchlights (yeah, I felt like a celebrity!)
Can't wait for next month.
See y'all at Lyons next Weds. That's MY HOOD y'all.

 

what time was this at? mobile was packed all night long. you couldn't find a parking space on the blvd from the 4n20 all the way to oxnard, alot of people cruising, i think you need to get out of that lot cruise around it was a good night. Last Summer, the lanes were jammed. jammed of all the cars trying to get in the rydell

 

Ditto. Last night was pretty active...IF YA GOT UP AND CRUISED. Too many people were glued to the Corky's lot the 2 times I blew through. It's cool they let us hang there. But it's too far from the rest of the activity.

 

It was fun. We hit the boulevard, the lot, cruised through the packed gas station(it was intimidating haha), parked and chilled with some Strays and Panel Beaters, and hit the boulevard some more. We ended up back over at Corky's for a late dinner. My buddy Eric took this little vid on our final pass around 11pm.

Click on it, its a video.


Some pics.








I got a nice little bubble on my sidewall but the tire held all night. I might not be rolling on these 20 year old 5.20's next month though.

 

man, I wish we had something like this around here. we have some cruising spots, but it's mostly riced out imports and late model there is one big cruise once a year, but it just started last year.

i always said i was born in the wrong decade, but also on the wrong side of the country!!

 

too bad, he seemed like he enjoyed it.

 

that 67 cutlass is outstanding I love the work that went into it

 

Route 66 Canyon Country is THIS Saturday 6/12. $10 entry fee. Great band. Really great car show if you have never been, make this your year! Soledad Canyon Road.

 

BTW - it was about 8pm when we were cruising and it was sparse out there. Maybe it was still too early. Us "working" people had to cut out a bit early so we can get up early on Thursday for work.
Robert, hair flips still welcome. It's getting really long...and GROUCHO...GET OVER IT! YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS! LOL!
I wanted to see your VEGA last night!

 

Yeah....because none of us that stayed late have jobs. You're an idiot.

 

Thank you for the kind words. It aint done yet, but its getting there.

 

Wow.

I guess it's okay for those of us who live in other parts of So-Cal NOT to go to Van Nuys as long as "work" is the excuse?

Eryk came down from Lancaster, I came from El Monte, my buddy from Pico Rivera and our other friend from Manhattan Beach. I guess we should all stay home next time becuase we have the excuse of getting out of work late or having to get up early the next day.

BTW.... here's a snippet from post #1.

"The Van Nuys Cruising Association announced today that back by popular demand, cruising will return to Van Nuys Blvd on Wednesday, June 10th....8:00 pm and on......"

What time did you say you left? You always leave a party early and then complain about it ???


weak.

 

He's still there every time, just distancing himself from the organizing part of it...

 

Geez, these hambers are really touchy! See, I never mentioned RACE and they still get their panties in a bunch. This OLDER crowd isn't fun anymore! Old fogies!

 

Did someone say touch

 

Nice pics, love the Olds & A100.

 

yup i started work at 6am but was still out there at 1030 it was happening hated to leave.........................what i dont get why is it 10 dollars to let people see yur car ?? and groucho that a would have been kick ass at the vintage drags,, were you to scared to bring it out and run a bad time ?? or is it just for looks ?? you know slicks and all....

 

There's plenty of time to sleep when were dead.

 

1-)I was @ Pomona swap meet Saturday and Sunday. It's a place where I meet friends from miles away every 6 weeks. I really enjoy that.

2-)I'm a street racer at heart. I hate sitting in line to pass "tech", only to wait again in the staging lanes just to get 2-3 passes in 8 or so hours.

3-)If you have a street legal car with your name on the title, I challenge you to a standing 1/4 mile street race with my Model A. In fact, any car with your name on the title gets a FIVE car handicap from me. Deal?

 

...and I still never flipped it like a spastic fucking retard.[/QUOTE]

Dude, you got some deep rooted emotional problems. Go work it out somewhere else, not here. DICK!

 

I can never tell if you guys are being serious or not...

Still wishing I was down there with you though! That Chevy coupe Eryk posted is rad!

 

Wow, it was great to see all the old school cars out on Van Nuys the other night. We'd love to see some of you guys stop by our car show and check out the vintage drag cars. Even better show off your Van Nuys cruiser by entering it in the show.
