Picture after Viva show on side of highway

Here's a pic after leaving Viva show on Monday. We blew a tire almost getting hit by a van that wasn't paying attention. They slid off the highway skidding into the dirt. Luckily we didn't get hit. The wimpy four way that we had could not budge the impacted on lug nuts. Two guys from the show (said they are on the Hamb from Indiana) I think one goes by Von Dust, had a big floor jack and a breaker bar. They definitely saved our butts. All I can say is thanks fellas. This is what hotrodding is all about.

ouch. glad noone got hurt.

 

Killer photo.

 

So rad they were helping other before needing help themselves!!

 

The HAMB is like that! Best organization to be a part of. Glad to see you didn't get all fucked up.

 

Hey man! That's a friggin cool pic!
That's the last time that jack made it out of the trunk of the Desoto, but before our trip was over... or even before New Mexico, the tool box made it out many, many times with Mike in the roadster breaking down. It finally got to the point where he blew a head gasket and there was Metalman at our mercy, offered his shop to use that night. Karma is a good thing.
You guys are great and we enjoyed helping ya out. You're right, this is what hot rodding is all about, offering help whether someone needs it or not.
Hope your guys' trip went well the rest of the way

 

That is a cool pic. Saved it to the black box.

Dustin, Glad you guys made it home in one piece!

 

I'm digging those flames dude...

 

That picture should be duplicated, blown up, and sold. That's what HotRod memories are made of. Though it seemed fucked up at the time, You'll always remember that day. Great picture and BITCHIN cars!

 

Cool , glad they were able to help you out.

 

Worthy of being my new desktop picture. Cool.

 

Glad everyone made it out ok (including the shoebox!) Here's how I imagined it...

 

talk about luck

 

Yes that is indeed VonDust and Hoover, they were following a long Indy Road Rocket tradition. As Road Rockets we have been very fortunate to travel all over the country, never afraid to drive thousands of mile to reach a show. During this time of long distance traveling we have helped and been helped ourselves by some of the nicest people in the US and they all answer to the name "hot-rodder." We hope that this is all the trouble you had with your very nice shoebox (and yes the flames are awesome)!!! For those that may have forgotten I drove the Studebaker last year from Indy to Huntington Beach.

 

Great photo,thats all tradition right there.The HAMB is a great place aint it?

 

Great story! That is what it is all about, and yes hombres ruin, this place is AMAZING!!

 

Be a good pic for next years HAMB calendar. Maybe next years theme should be broke on the side of the road. There have been a bunch of cool pics like this posted.

 

great pic. lucky it didnt get to messy.

 

man i love your car, glad to see you guys are ok, wish i had a better shot of your car too!.....thats the last time i let me girl be incharge of taking pictures at a car show......

Got my vote for the H.A.M.B. calender next year!

Glad you had some fellow HAMBers helpin out and you all made it home safe!

This was what being a biker was like back before every yuppie got an evo. Always stop to help a brother out.....

 

Thats awesome in so many ways. Proud of our local guys and hot rodders in general!

 

Damn, thats the best my car has ever looked in a picture! I love it, and it is in the middle of nowhere off of 93. Very cool.

 

thats a badass pic , glad everything worked out and a HAMBer to the rescue!

 

Great story to tell, and you lived through it.

 

luv that pic say's alot about our lifestyle of hot roddin we are all brothers an are so willing to help one another!!great job!!

 

Bad ass picture, I remember slobbering all over those flames at the show......I hope my slobber did not leave water spots.

Glad you did not get whacked by the van and that everything worked out.

 

Glad you're OK with no damage! It's times like that you remember. Curious to what kind of tire you were running. They look pretty new, what brand and how old was it?
