Charger Steve's Wild Rides

August 24, 2014

We ended up with 3 cars here, Cindy & I in our BBG, Jay with his BBO, & Richard in his Aqua'ish Blue.
This show is in the very heart of Pacific Beach, on Garnet, one block from Crystal Pier ! I can't believe he can do this show here, but hey, I Ain't complain'n ! Every other door is a bar or restaurant.

We were here and parked by 8am, we had no choice, the street is closed from 8am till 3, NO Leaving, Period !
So we spent half the day Cruisin' (on foot), and half the day on a bar stool.

Jay has an Immaculate Real Deal 1969 BBO AMX, with all the bells & whistles, even a story board, needless to say, he got one of the few trophys from this show, that's that 3 foot tall thing on top of his car ! NICE ! AMC still Rocks !

just a few shots of the show, too many show cars here to post them all, you will just have to come next year to see it for yourself.
This is a shot down Garnet, it covers 3 blocks, and to the alleys on the side streets, and I got this shot in before it got swamped !

Charger Steve has a bunch of Hollywood cars, besides the paddy wagon, the Bandit, Green Hornet, Petty car, Starsky & Hutch, and Christine (scarey), I know he has others.

Here's Christine in front of Lenny's, next to the Batmobile, the light at Mission Blvd (close to where I grew up), and the arch to Crystal pier at the end of Garnet.

I don't know who the owner of this Batmobile is, but it's pretty well tricked out.

Someone said this used to be a Porsche, but what the hell do I know about foreign cars, but I do think it looks Cool.

This is a pix I had from another show, when they had one of these monsters doing this on Garnet, there was no way to get anywhere near it to see it, other then a little flame over the crowd. So here's my shot with flames from Both sides ! Not as easy as it looks !
