Okay, send me pictures of the worst things you see on the road, I’m ready for them. Car bras, rims worth more than the car, bad stick on customization, rolling on the donut spare, cardboard or saran wrap windows, awesome custom airbrush vistas, driving while fat, get the idea?

I had been to the races at the venerable 1/4-mile oval at the Ventura Fairgrounds (literally a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean) many times in the past 25 years, but had never been to the big show – the Turkey Night Grand Prix. The Turkey Night race is actually the third oldest race in […]
For nearly a decade the Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard has been having a show featuring vintage travel trailer. One of the best features of the show is that most of the campers are open for attendees to go inside. This year the show expanded and was held at the performing arts center in downtown […]
Barn find Packard straight 8 motor for sale. I believe it is about 1949 (23rd series) and a 288 ci model based on the number stamped in the side (H220794). I believe it came out of a running car many years ago. I bought it from a landlord who found it in a garage to […]
I went to the OG Motoshow and shot both digital (full auto) and 35mm film (full manual, Pentax K1000, Vivitar 283 flash). Unfortunately I already had a 36 exposure roll of 100 speed Kodak Ektar film in the camera and know shit all about shooting with a flash. So of these pictures I would say […]
RadWood is a car show and festival of everything that was awesome, tubular and gnarly from the 80s and early 1990s. I did not had a car or bike to bring this year, but I did have a pair of black and day-glo orange raver pants, and a Lollapalooza 1991 T-shirt to wear, plus my […]
In conjunction with the High Art of Riding Low exhibit downstairs at the Petersen, their monthly breakfast meet was dedicated to lowriders as well. Hundreds of people and about 100 cars showed up to enjoy some coffee and bagels on the upper deck of the museum parking garage. Perhaps the oddest duck there was my […]
About once every six months, Pelican Parts, a well known place to get mostly German car parts, holds a cars and coffee meet at a mall in Palos Verdes, California. I got to this late and did not get pictures of a lot of the awesome stuff that was there, but here is what I […]
Who knew that the law enforcement, fire, and other first responders had a worldwide competition every two years that was 5 times bigger than the Winter Olympics? And also, unlike the Summer Olympics, or the Commonwealth Games (the number 1 and 3 international sporting events by number of athletes) the second most popular competition is […]
The fine people at Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, despite their new corporate beer overlords, put on a new event that is like drag racing tiny cars for beer and prizes. This is what the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby would be like if the adult all went away and left the kids a cooler […]
Seriously I have no idea what is supposed to be happening here, apart from the obvious. Strangely enough, the one image with words in English makes even less sense than the rest. I happened upon these during some trip down the obscure bike rabbit hole. At first I had just one image, but I hunted […]
