    dont kno how many people are bringing out the old cars but it should still be a good time to be had!!!!
     
  2. If the O is still around, I very well may be coaxed to take the 5-hour drive out to punish my gastrointestinal tract with a pile of fries bigger than my head!

    It is a great idea, but I think you should hold out for a colder day... The 18 degrees high they are calling for might be too warm for me... Just kidding ,,Have a great time..
     
  9. Well, considering they're calling for a high of 6 at my place on Saturday, Pittsburgh is sounding like a tropical paradise!

    Whitey with the rat motor Chevy? I know him to see him but he is at all the local cruises and I love that car! I wonder how fast that thing is. High tomorrow is somewhere around 20 somethin so not bad! Now if this were in Erie, PA you could drive your old car there...snow just never gets plowed there is so much so not too much salt! Least in the boonies its just snow covered.

    Well it's over now and a good time was had by all....
    Thanks Sacred Pistons for a great night, good food, good drink, and best of all a bunch of great people. Very cold but the burn barrels were oh so welcome, that's why they call it "Hobo Burn Barrel Spectacular"
    Thanks guys and next year a different place and time!
    I did get some pictures so I'll attach them, kind of dark but you'll still be able to see some cool stuff.
    Thanks again!:cool:

    Yea when you guys get up in the morning, you got snow everwhere, I got Banana leaves to deal with, does any one feel bad for me. I remember back in the 60s living in the Rocks, it was 18 below, and my daily was a 30 coupe, all stock. The starter would spin but would not connect to the flywheel. Had to crank it. One lift and she was running, Only had the manifold heater, Wow it was cold. Had to drive from West Park (Stowe Twp) to Elliott, even with gloves my hands were bout to fall off.I was the first one at work, and had to plow out the parking lot. Cold as a step mothers kiss.
