Event Coverage LA Roadster Show with my Dad in a '40 Coupe

We are leaving Richfield, UT

We made more friends at this stop!
This is Royal , he's got an old car too, a 1970 Caddy!



He wants to know why we are running two quadrates!



Cindy was sneaking a picture of the car when StNick invited her into the car. Doesn't she know not to talk to strangers?



Her husband is working on a 1938 Pontiac coupe. She thought her husband would like Josephine.

I cleaned up the windows







I said a blessing for all the roadkill and we were off!



The scenery is awesome !!

Keep em coming Mike. Alot of us are living vicariously through you right now.

 

This thread just brings a smile to my face.

 

We are having the time of our lives!!









Fire damage






I love the movie Cars, I love the trip to CA for the big race. They did a great job representing the country, and the landscape.

Where's a good place to stay in Las Vegas? Not expensive, not a Dive.
What should we do there?

As we get closer to Nevada we somehow got on the topic of the
Moonlite Bunny Ranch?



We laugh about the reality show. It reminds me of another father son trip......

My 21st birthday when dad and some friends took me to the Boobie-Bungalow. Yikes!

I think I'll stay away from the Bunny Ranch!
