All my friends know the low rider. Okay, not all of them, but maybe most.
Well, some.
Okay, fine, I was just dropping names, I don't even know anyone who knows anyone who knows the low rider. I'm just deliberately wasting your time. Monday when I was leaving for the office, there was a car club loading up their rides for the trip back home. I don't understand, exactly, but apparently one does not drive these cars long distances, even when you've spent the money to buy the vintage window fan.
I guess I understand that, because damn, they're beautiful, and it would kill me to get a stone chip in my hand-striped, silver-leaf-encrusted 64. And note the chubby guy in the blue shirt reflected in the bumper on the first photo. It was almost like I planned to coordinate with my subject. I love the engraving, always so many new ideas, I'd love to have Ruby outfitted as such. And speaking of taking little trips, I leave in two weeks for the greater Cleveland area to train clients for five days, then I'm home again for a week, and it seems more likely than not that I'll be back in Germantown, MD again.
I'm really racking up those frequent flier miles.

Beautiful cars! Safe travels to Cleveland... I hear it's... lovely? This time of year?
;)
There's a little place by my house that does some classic car auctions. There's a teal 57 chevy sitting out there. My five year old wants to get it for me for Christmas.
Oooh, Cleveland. Autumny. There's a great little Chinese restaurant in Solon that still hand-makes their dumplings, I'd go just for that.
Mjenks, let me know how that turns out. The last three 'must-have' cars in my collection are all in Hot Wheel form. Of course, since my daily driver never sees the inside of a garage, I don't know what I'd do with something more stylish.
Have a safe trip to Cleveland... and to Baltimore.... (yuck on the Baltimore part...)
Baltimore's not bad, since I'm just leaving the airport and driving out of town, anyway. Maybe this time I can avoid the ticket for running a red light.
I'm from Tampa, we do that all the time!
Damn you Florida drivers!
Those cars are awesome! I think part of towing them has to do with keeping the mileage down, but what do I know.
Happy and safe travels!
