Earlier this month, I went with a friend to the 2005 Good Guys Nationals. This is one amazing car show that happens every year at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. Over 6,000 street rods, and custom cars. At every turn throughout the grounds there was another couple hundred cars, stationary and moving. We spent 6 hours there and saw maybe<\/em> half the cars. Amazing rides, I’ve posted a gallery of 100 of the 120+ pictures I took here<\/a>.
\nOf particular interest to me were the wheels on the cars. I wanted to both see the wheels I ordered<\/a> (I’ve only seen pictures) and see how unique they are. I saw a lot of American Racing Torq-Thrust II<\/a>, by far the most popular wheel. Second was Boyd Coddington’s Smoothie II<\/a>, lots of those too. But not a single Junkyard Dog<\/a>. Bummer, as I wanted to see them, but good that I picked something unique.
\nIt was also good to see my friend. We hadn’t seen each other in about 2 years when we wen to Good Guys 2003. He is one of those who used<\/em> to go to my church. He now goes to a ‘Mainline’ COC across town near his house. In fact, he’s since been appointed elder there. He shared about how he likes his church and how things are done. I shared a little of my disappointment at how things don’t seem to be moving in a new direction after all. But mostly, we looked at cars.
\nHe’s a car nut too, with a 1964 Olds Dynamic 88 Convertible, a 1965 Mustang coupe and a 1966 Triumph TR4. I think the Olds is the only one that runs, the other two are ‘in process’. It was a good time with an old friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
