new to me terminology "Cowboy Cadillac" means expensive truck

Are trucks better than cars? Should we admire four wheels, or MORE wheels?

Ignore Austin Powers 3, it sucked, but isn't in the video for more than a sound bite. Found on http://americaloveshorsepower.com/10-crazy-things-trucks-can-do-better-than-cars/

Mud Bogging doesn't always end well, so have a damn good roll cage.

Trucks at the Japanese Classic Car in Long Beach

Ford trucks, 1948-1972 visual identification guide

the NAS North Island Speedfest invited the San Diego chapter of the American Truck Historic Society, these 4 cool rigs were great to look over!

 the White is a 1941 that Gilmore owned originally. Posted here http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/09/1941-white-semi-tractor-trailer-that.html

the red white and black is a 1955 Kenworth

 this orange and black is a 1971 Kenworth

and this brown Kenworth is a 1969... I posted a couple photos last weekend of it, Jeff bought this at age 19, and worked with it for the next 20 years, getting 3 million miles under and behind him... he then converted it with the only stipulations from his wife that it have a toilet and a shower. They're both happy!

and they get together for convoys occasionally like this Route 66 news item in the San Berdo Sun Newspaper article: http://www.sbsun.com/ci_21552862

the vehicles in the movie War Horse

1911 Vauxhall C type

 the above bike is the only vehicle that has recognizeable nameplate or logo, it's a Premiere. It is a 1913 Premiere 500cc.  The above is a British character, the below are German

the Internet Car Movie database says the above are 1924 Triumph SD

Ever notice that movies seldom show the variety of vehicle relative to the fuel type? No alcohol, steam, or electric, and I doubt I covered the handful of other fuels... they just can't afford the cars or trucks that are that unusual I suppose. Anything that isn't gasoline probably isn't very easy to get ahold of

Coincidental parking of 3 1966 Chevy trucks let me compare short bed, long bed, and Custom editions

the reddish truck is owned by a guy with time and appreciation for woodwork, it's the custom, and has the crhrome work around the rear of the cab, and the big back window

Heavy Hitters, Nokturnal, and Swift car clubs had a car show at Hooters, some incredible paint and door hinge customization to be admired here

I should have got info about this Dodge Magnum wagon

It says Wounded Warrior Project down on the side

Nice upholstery job, not my style, but I appreciate the work and effort to make it look good

Check out all the different ways the hoods and doors are hinged, it's far out

I like the hood levering up over the windshield

$4500 dollars of airbrushing, wow!

http://heavyhitterz.com/ Our mission is to create yet another pathway for young marines, sailors, or civilians to get involved in something positive instead of falling through the cracks of life. In each heavy hitterz is the mind set of being a family and staying together we will be able to lift up anyones head who is slipping away. Not only do we give back to the community, to family, to charity, but we do it because we want to. We are smiled upon for a reason and over time we only what that smile to get bigger and bigger across more and more peoples faces.

Heavy Hitterz Car & Bike Club was established on the fifteenth of November 2009 with four dedicated members that all had a common interest as well as a common dream. The dream to create a family. Not just any family, but a family that didn’t look at the material things that one has, but what what each and every person holds within. Thats what separates the Heavy Hitterz from any other club there is out. When the word “family” comes into play its meant. After awhile people started seeing this and joined slowly but surely up to this present time which is about 30 members strong. HH is 99% military based with marines and sailors deployed to Afghanistan, on ship, stationed in North Carolina, or right here in Sunny California. We are a legit club that is recognized in the California Car Club Association and participate in a lot of charity car show such as The All American Car Show that gave profits to the Blind or The Toys For Tots show on MCRD. We also do family days, car washes, BBQ, and other events that just exercises the fact that we are all family. We fight, argue, and disagree like any other family, but we protect, look after, and help out just the same. So if you ever see one of us out throw some H H’s up and smile because I guarantee they are doing it right back.
