RAT RODS in Postcards 4

…without pictures:

Rat Rods. They are not really cars of trucks instead they are artistic creations. This one has a BMW engine. Tires, wheels, hubs, brakes, rear axle, engine and trannie are BMW too. There’s another truck on a Toyota frame. There’s real rust and fake rust, and an amazing amount of enthusiasm whatever for the creativity. Several of these creations are daily drivers.

I share this Dodge because I once had a truck whose drivers side floorboard had rusted away. George cut out the shape he needed from an industrial cookie sheet. Here, there just isn’t a floor board at all.

The show manager, Pandora, traveled from state to state to find these cars. They truly give us a wonderful and entertaining show…a perfect Valentine’s day gift for any car guy or car girl.

• Himself: He says he is really pretty good today.


• Me, myself, and I: Feb 12: I ate some peanut butter and was in agony from mid-afternoon on…even through the opening show. This morning I declared it a bread and butter day. Feb 14: Slightly better but still in pain. Feb 15: Got an appointment in March. That won’t do. Now on waiting list for both a gastroenterologist and my GP.


• Reading: Louise Penny….wonderful, captivating stories. Three more are coming from ABE books.
