About dark-thirty, most of the cars had left the Oak
Hill Neighborhood Associations "Hot
Rods and Hot Music" event and headed over to the
Albertson's parking lot for the weekly Saturday Night Car
Show. I joined the pack as well...
I drove the quick 1 mile or so to the Albertson's and found a
spot to park. I was surprised that many of the vehicles that
had been at the event earlier had either departed or didn't show
up for the weekly car show.
I fielded many questions about the jeep including several with
a gentleman named Steve and his lovely friend. Steve is
interested in in restoring an M38A1 or other mil-veh. I
spoke with several other people about the jeep and wandered around
to see the other vehicles.
A pretty tricked out black Camaro showed up complete with
blower and great smelling fuel. As it turns out, the car is
about as close to a true quarter-mile strip car as they get and
still be legal. In fact, I watched him 'tune' the car from
his laptop! Amazing.
There was one of the new Chevrolet 5.5L SSR's there next to
what appeared to be the basis or platform for it's design.
Maybe a 40's Chevrolet truck??? I digress... There
were also some very nice muscle cars and newer street cars as
well. A few motorcycles were also tossed in.
About 8pm, I cranked up the jeep and headed home the quick 2
miles or so. Dang it's not fun in the dark with these
jeeps. No side marker lamps and not a whole lot of light
coming from the backs either! Anyway, I made it home safe
and the little jeep is home.
