End of the World Rod Run.

[lyrikz]

Anyone make it out to Longbeach for the Rod run??? Few interesting tidbits. I got to drive my great grandpas original 68 jeep around for the weekend. That was fun.

Also got to see a mid year corvette do a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear burnout right before he lost control and slammed into a parked car. That parked car was a 1940 ish vehicle. Just parked minding its own business. The guy in the corvette blew 3 times the legal limit. The good news is that by the next day the members aleady had a grill, and front fender for the classic that was crushed....

For all you that do go to the rod runs notice how there are 7 million cops every year. You cant breathe without a cop walking buy... This year it was different. VERY few cops. It was nice. I told my mother how there were very few cops and her being a head member had some inside gossip. Every year the cops get a "DONATION" 'from the rod run to have extra police on patrol. Well, this year they wanted 10,000 bucks. The club told them to go pack sand. The police in return tried to deny their permit for the event. Eventually they let the permit go through and the club paid 2000 bucks. Thats why there werent any cops. The police were trying to prove a point. It was very nice out there.

The car club would of "donated" that 10k to the police department if the funds were going into a charity fund but it wasnt. The money just went towards whatever they wanted to spend on it.... Anyways... Here are some rigs and random pics...


Favorite car there. original owner. Only defect is a bite mark in the dash from when his daughter was three.


Probably one of the few GMC's i saw.
Pretty grill.


A MONSTER C10. If you look close you can see my daughter hiding underneath. LOL.


A show winner.


Twin turbos.



The ride home we sat behind this truck... Weirdest thing ever. Half car half truck.
