Hot Rods Is your neighborhood hamb friendly

Man, can I relate. I live on Hwy 1 and moved here in the 80's, it was hot rod nirvana then but over the years everyone cashed out and moved to Sonoma county. The gentrification taking place has the impatient stick up your ass people moving in and tearing down perfectly good houses and putting up McMansions. We have a new Porsche dealership and a Ferrari dealer across the street from him. Streets are flooded with Teslas and Audi suv's. I'm the odd man out and just in everyone's way in my old stuff.

 

Not many HAMB cars, but a bunch of Muscle cars! I get teased that with my 375HP sbc in my coupe, I have a nice "training motor". Most of the neighbor car guys have 450+ HP big blocks!

 

Hey i grew up half my life in sonoma county. I loved it there used to be loads of old iron hiding ripe for the taking

It's still hot rod haven as is Bakersfield. My b-i-l lives in Bako and I'm always amazed at the cool shit on the streets. I found my big block 4-speed El Camino there twenty years ago, my DD. We've been to the drive-in you or somebody reference too, great spot, and of course Famosa.

 

Is there a code against painting your house in a zebra pattern using bright pink and exorcist green paint?

 

Live in the unincorporated part of the county, deep in the country, flanked by a railroad and a creek valley that nobody can build in, so isolated for nearly a mile in every direction. Weekends I hear gunfire on all sides from neighbors ensuring their accuracy when needed. I can work on the hotrod in the garage or out on the driveway pad and grind, beat on metal and cuss as loud as I want. I still maintain a tidy yard and don't have crap laying around.

 

Cussing good...

 

Thanks Wraymen.Bruce.

 

I used to piss off the back porch till the cows started watching me.LOL.Bruce.

 

3 cars...different owners within 100 yards of each other.

I guess i have to say yes. My Chevy on front and neighbours at the background.

 

My neighbors have asked me to park my '60 Falcon in my "own neighborhood", failing to see the neighborhood parking sticker, from the neighborhood, on the back window.

Houses here start at $1.6m. On the streets where the parking spots are most often available, the are $4m+.

If it were not for the cheap, rent-controlled apartment, we'd be gone.

 

I'd love to have a '60 Falcon for a neighbor!

 

I cannot surf the big waves of the Pacific, in Tennessee.

 

Sure you can..............Dollywood Mountain wave pool. They even have naked tubing night for the adults.

 

Clearly you have not seen a big Pacific wave. Google: Mavericks surf. Switch to images.

I'm married to a Russian model. I don't need to see anyone else naked.

 

Shy bladder? My driveway has a storm drain in it, saves me many a trip inside or elsewhere outside.

 

No I have not but I'm sure its very impressive. No disrespect intended. I'm just an old country boy that has a weird sense of humor.

I did date a girl from New Jersey once that liked Vodka, never understood a damn word she said. We got along great.

 

YUP you guessed it shy bladder.lol.Bruce.

 

Heres my neighbors two doors down across the streets gmc

I know EXACTLY what you mean; I LOVE candlepin bowling. When I moved to So Cal in the 90's all they had was ten pin. It was awful, I could barely function. Now I am back in New England, I am back in candlepin heaven. I will NEVER move anywhere AGAIN that doesn't have the little pins.






Sarcasm.

Surfing is a hobby, dude, just like bowling, that's how important it is. it's not cosmic. I surf too. I hung out at Zuma all the time. I surf in New England too. I would love to check out the nude tubing in Dollywood. I love TN ! Then hang in Memphis and Nashville.

 

Damn I live 20 minutes from Dolly wood and I never hear about the nude bathing!!!LOL.Bruce.

 

The cows and the coyotes don't seem to care.

 

My bladder isn't shy, I can pee pretty much anywhere.
I'm happy that doesn't include my pants

 

Give it time...

Give it time...

 

Blue One,i am getting to the point to where I go in to the bathroom and cant remember if I have to pee or poop. LOL. Bruce.

 

Sorry Bruce, I couldn't think of any other place in Tenn. that had waves. So put that speedo away and get back to working on your cars.

clunker, Blue, Bruce and George you guys are too much. Funny stuff

 

Wraymen.I KNOW YOU DONT WANT TO SEE ME IN A SPEEDO You would never be able to eat or have another beer again. LOL. I am glad we are having fun with this thread!!!Bruce.

 

They call speedos "banana hammocks" up here. I lived on the beach here in the eighties and a lot of local Italian guys would pull up to the breaker wall on their Ninja motorcycles, set up a boombox, stand there with their neon colored banana hammocks and do this macho sort of dance for the cars (girls) driving by. Kind of a weird mating ritual.

 

I wear a speedo..
