A few years back at Dream Cruise they say a tornado was by Normandy around 13 mile sat afternoon a huge storm blew through, I go up the next day to get shirts at half off, there were those pop up things everywhere all mangled. Scrappers were picking up loads of them. Lol

Austin has had a Rat Rod rally in April for years, the town is consumed by pre 1963 cars and trucks all ratted out. I used to hate seeing these and didn't like them at all. I've changed over the years and now I really enjoy seeing them and can appreciate the work involved in putting one together. We go downtown and watch them run up and down South Congress by the Continental Club, it's a blast.

They've pretty much banned those things at most car shows up here, for good reason. I despise those things.

Anyone that's been to central and Northern Arizona knows we almost always have the wind blowing, sometimes light, but we have what they call dust devils all the time that kick up some serious wind. Mini little tornados if you will that are completely unpredictable. It'll grab pebbles off the ground, dirt and debri, and especially a pop up or a lawn chair and just toss it everywhere.

Last year with 3 cars shows in the area to choose from we decided to go to the only one that allowed those pop ups apparently. Sure enough a dust devil came through, grabbed a pop up and started tossing it all around the show cars. Of course it misses everyone until it ended up smashed into the front end of dad's GTO. I just finished painting it and it messed up the nose pretty good. The saddest part is how suddenly everyone that acts like your car buddy has no clue who owns the tent, no one claimed it. Talk about one pissed off old man, boy was he hot.

Ever see the big ball sack hanging under a car. I don’t get that, just nasty. I guess if you love huge ball sacks.....

I found one of those ball sacks on my personal car after a trip for dinner with my friends on my birthday. My one buddy thinks he is the funniest guy around. He got it back...
