Turlock Swapmeet January 2010
The January Turlock is always one of the best swapmeets I hit yearly, and this year was no exception! Great place to scrounge up hot rod parts and this year was important becausing I was relaying the Satellite to it’s new owner! We’ll start off on a hazey Saturday morning, about 8:00 or so. We’d all been up really late drinking heavily and barbecuing, and I personally...
Jimmy’s Old Car Picnic 2009
Once a year in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park Jimmy has a picnic, and invites all the car nuts from around the Bay Area to it. I had so much fun last year I decided it was one of those “can’t miss” shows. This year the admission was up $10 from last year’s $20, but that didn’t seem to affect the attendance of so many great cars. I’ll add more verbage...
Altamount Cruisers Car Show 2009
The Altamount Cruisers Show was huge this year, spanning three streets three blocks long, and on First street it was five blocks long. The weather was hot, and I was pretty pickled from drinking heavily at the Relic’s Bar Show the night before, but I stumbled on, running into lots of friends as I went. 1964 Chevelle convertible It’s the reverse of my truck!

Turlock Swapmeet 8.30.09
For years, I’ve always gone to swap meets with my friends. The last few swap meets I’d gone to I’ve gone with my Dad, and seen my friends there. This time my Dad couldn’t go, and it coincided with the Hayward-on-the-Hill swap meet, so my buddies were headed that way. I was going to hit a swap meet all by my lonesome!!

John’s Burger – 1970 Dodge Challenger Night?
Janelle and Andee were the first ones to show up to John’s Burger in Janelle’s F-1 Ford Pickup Truck. Andee’s Packard had a stuck float and flooded, so she couldn’t drive it down. While I was eatin’ burger, this guy shows up. Original owner (!!!) 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, 383 four barrel with a Shaker hood, rear window louvers, Go-Wing, and four speed! Only...
Lost Pics from Kingdon 2006
This bitchin’ set of photos were taken 10.30.06 at the Kingdon Drags out in Lodi. Most of them are featuring Dan’s 1954 Chevy with a hopped up 235 six popper. The other Chevys also feature hopped up Chevy sixes of the later variety and one of them is fairly quick! I don’t know who took these pictures, pretty sure it was our own Jeremy but it could have be Matt. Read More →

Mopars North of the Gate 2009
Wine Country Mopars put on a show every year at Infineon Raceway. It’s one of my favorites, because it combines all the popular elements us car guys like: Drag Racing, a Car Show, and a small Swap meet! This year I drove my Challenger up for a little drag racing. Kyle brought his Coronet, and we met Steve with his Belvedere there and Bill with his Coronet. This black on black 1970...
American Graffiti Nights – Petaluma – 2009
Downtown Petaluma puts on a show every year called American Graffiti nights. It’s a pretty big show with a lot of variety of cars entered. I snapped some pictures of the car show, I think they cruise around town later but if they do we missed it. We headed over to Steve’s place for his 30th birthday! Here’s a good looking early Vette that had a mild ‘gasser’...
