Crawlmaro by Essentially Off Road, when a 69 Camaro is the coolest off road rock crawler I see, I take lots of photos

 http://www.eoronline.com/ for more about this cool crawler







 It was either brought to SEMA, or built by

1944 Mack Firetruck at SEMA, incredible, and with a Viper engine

 


 

 Built by Tom Stark of Precision Designs, the truck has been fitted with a 2005 Viper SRT10 V10 engine mated to a Dodge 48RE automatic transmission. The stock Mack axle remains up front, but the rear suspension and axle from a 2008 Ram truck resides out back. Other features include Dodge Ram SRT10 brakes, 24-inch American Force wheels and custom leather seating.

Hell yeah it's got a hemi, hell yeah it's fast! A 392 hemi in a Mini Cooper






 this is the shoehorn it took to get that Mopar Big Block into the MINI

Johnny Vegas made the most incredibly realistic looking faux patina on a 33 ford, with Cumberland paints, and they call it the Barn Find






the door jambs were still original paint, and it was in absolutely amazing condition, and a true barn find.

Johnny is pretty damn good at getting and selling barn finds, check out this 1941 Buick Estate Woodie, one of 16 known to exist... he found it and has sold it already, but it had been stored since 1958
here is a full gallery of it http://hispeedcustoms.com/IMAGES/CARS/1941%20Buick%20Woodie/index.htm

but go look through the other cars he has for sale http://hispeedcustoms.com/forsale.html and you'll find the stablemate 1933 Ford Woodie for 45 thousand doallars that Johnny also has among his many cars for sale in Tucson

Have you heard about the Yeti?






this is on the tire... because I was curious who made such tires. Mark emailed me to let us know that Titan Tires (the Grizz) and wheel rims are manufactured in Des Moines

When driving through Barstow California, don't get gas at the Chevron on Barstow Rd Exit, it's 60 cents a gallon more than the Valejo station across the overpass... that is 12 dollars more for 20 gallons, wasted

 I've posted before that I believe that some gas stations change the prices highest left to right to get you to accidentally buy the most expensive gas  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/09/do-some-gas-stations-try-to-trick-you.html
above are the reversed from normal levels of price gouging at the Chevron, and below, in the normal arrangement, is the Valejo gas station prices
