    Good to see your enjoying your self Steve, and made it out of Vegas with gas money in your pocket! Missed ya at the Enumclaw show, but Kieth and Alan took up the slack! Spence had some lame excuse, (work/sleep), but we will all have to hook up later! Good luck on your last leg of vacation , and drive safe!

    Made it home. Laid down over 3000 miles total for the trip without any real problems. I did rip my bumper off dragging it down the strip in vegas one night but a couple new bolts fixed that ez. Billetproof was an awesome show! Great to see so many cars you've never laid eyes on. Great cars, people, weather and just a great time in general. So glad I made it part of this road trip.

    I had the best intentions of documenting the trip with lots of photos but turns out I didnt take a single picture. There were plenty of people who saw me though. when you drive an old car across the country be prepared to talk to someone every time you stop for gas, get something to eat, or use the restroom. #1 question....what year is it? I got plenty of "want to sell it" and even a few "swap ya for what I'm driving" I had a great time and I will make more of these trips! Thats why we build these cars, to drive the piss out of them.

    It was a one day show this year, so saturday. I was out back where there were some trees for shade, couple rows over from the Gambino crew. Saw your ride up front by the gate. you have your HAMB tag on your firewall?

    Not sure how I missed it...always looking out for Pontiacs

    Yep, high and proud.

    Hopefully next year I'll have my '37 Pontiac coupe moving under it's own power.

    I got to see a '37 Pontiac coupe there saturday. A real treat because you never see them. Sometimes a sedan, but never a coupe...
