Some pics/vids from the cruise I went on this weekend.

[racecougar]

Some friends and I attended the Hot Rods and Handlebars charity cruise again this year. The 136 mile route this year started in Pacific, MO, and went through Union, Krakow, Stone Hill, Gerald, Hermann, Marthasville, Washington, Labadie, and a bunch of other small towns in rural Missouri. We made four stops this year, each of which were at bars or bar/grill joints. :zbeer:

Anyway here are some pictures.

The beginning of the morning gathering:

This is a 90's S-10 with a rather unique bodykit:

The kicker was that this year there was a trophy for the best burnout or act of stupidity. Of course my buddy had to try his best:

The guy in the VW Bug with a chopped top had something to say about that:

And then the cops came.....

Cougar looks nice and aggressive with the staggered wheel set up. Nice!!!

[mkeethler]

That is still the finest looking Cougar I have ever seen.:cool:

[racecougar]

Rod,

That's a nice looking Challenger parked by your car. Got anymore pics of it ?

David

[racecougar]

David,

I don't have any more pics of that one on hand, but I'll try to get some the next time I see the lady that owns it. It's actually not that nice. It's more of a "20-foot" car. I think her husband used that Challenger to learn how to do bodywork.

I just realized that the videos weren't working, so those will be fixed shortly. They are the most entertaining part of this thread.

Yeah, the VW is a pretty cool car. I know I have some pictures of it somewhere on my computer, but I can't find them.
