Safety Second

Screw 'em!!

Should have gone over to the OTB at Reno and Meridian and set up shop.

All the tire smokers ended up over there anyway.

Ahhhhh......rebellion................

One of yer best blogs (can't stand that word...haha) Ryan......

 

Ha.

 

The last paragraph about rebellion pretty much sums it up.
Robert

 

Good stuff....

 

Nice one!

 

I've delt with that word all my life..............I have a report card that can prove it lol....

 

Amen

 

LMAO... and here we are now. And the NSRA is still clueless.

 

hot damn!

 

Nice...

 

Rebellious.. and Dreamer..kinda went back and forth with me...its about 12:30 after Gmans great party, we discover that Gregg hasn't been for a ride in my Cadillac yet and He hasn't been in his car for a month, so in wet swim trunks, barefoot and with lit ceegars, we un-cap the dumps and go for a RIDE in the neighborhood..

 

Let me get this straight. You and a buddy of yours from Reno drove to OKC to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in his "traditional" Merc driver with a trunk load of screened T-shirts. You figured you didn't have to pay any vendor fees like all the other merchants there. You got caught and thrown out of the event and your buddy drove home to Reno.

Was his traditional Merc driver a pre-49 Merc or a later one?
If a later one they shouldn't have taken your money and let you in, should they have?
If a pre-49 Merc, then your big problem was your attempt to cheat the NSRA and other vendors by not paying the vendor fee to sell goods at the event, right?

This is a nice little tale about two young guys who drove a good ways to an event and tried to cheat the event producers but were unsuccessful, then went home.
The lesson here then is to do the right thing and your lesson was learned.

You established this magnificent website, sell advertising, pay for your school, meet lots of interesting people fro all over the world AND have fun with cars to boot.

Rebellion? I'm thinking good old American ambition, hard work and dedication paid off as it should have.

You certainly have my congratulations for being a student, a very astute businessman, AND a good old car guy, but a rebel?

 

As usual Ryan, "a word fitly spoken"....

 

"To me, rebellion is the cornerstone of hot rodding and customizing. Going fast and looking good never started with a Beach Boy’s A-Side, a set of Wal-Mart lawn chairs, and a nice sunny day at a Fairground somewhere. Rules aren’t set by a group of middle aged “industry men” that meet at a Chili’s in Louisville once a year. Nor are they set by the folks that think they know better because they run a magazine or a web site.
Rules are your own.
To me, this is hot rodding. This is customizing.
Rebellion."


This couldnt have been said better.

 

Viva la rebellion.
​

 

Very well said, Very well written.
Just the facts.

Ryan, I have enjoyed the journal and the H.A.M.B. more than anything for a long time, but what you wrote above hit the bulls eye. thanks.

for all you conventionalist out there.... Go F--K yourselves.

 

wow.

 

And Pasadena puts his usual stamp of disapproval on the whole shooting match.I think he carries a wet blanket around just for these occasions. Another home run Sunshine!!

Well in my most modern vernacular " I'm down with that".

Ryan I'm glad that you don't find the rules to be as important as the trip my friend because as you well know I'm just not very good at the rules.

You're golden bro.

 

Which one of those Skull and Bone dudes is Ryan? As Pasadenahotrod said "Let me get this straight" Say--Is that really Geronimo's skull? It's stolen ya know.

 

Which part of rebellion are you up with.
The being as different as everyone you hang with.
The being more different then the main but not so different as to get sent to NYC.
We got people on this site that are so different at being the same that they can't pick a color for their Just like everyones Traditional ride.

Ain't nothing different bout that.

 

Stamp of Disapproval?
Did you even read what I wrote?
Try it again... you'll get the picture.

 

got any of those dirty shirts for sale still?

 

Found the real picture that Ryan was hiding. Rebellious all the way.

 

Well well well. In one fell swoop, Ryan gave us metaphors, smoking jackets, transgressions, images of times long past, and a reference to Hunter S. Thompson.

Well done!!! (applause).

Now I need a drink. Bulleit Bourbon anyone?

 

Read every word. The negativity was weakly covered up with a sure case of "suck up" just before you checked out. Nice try!!

Frank

 

I'm going to rebel against the HAMB and build a rat rod.
