TOMBALL (TX) HIGH SCHOOL (STADIUM) / APRIL 24, 2022

TOMBALL LIONS CLUB

Due to the Pandemic and a family medical issue, it had been two years since I had covered a Houston area car show and I used to be out and about every single weekend! This year I started back up again and every weekend, the shows keep getting bigger and better. I guess two years would make a difference.

After missing the 2021 HOT WHEELS LEGENDS TOUR here in Houston, we plan on covering the 2022 edition this coming weekend just north of Houston in Spring. On

the right I've posted images we took at our last Houston Hot Wheels event back in 2019.

ROTATING GEAR CLOCK / FIXOAR.COM

Here's an imaginative use of small block Chevy engine parts. A double roller timing chain and gears rotate and are mounted on a 3D printed connecting rod with a brand-new piston base. Power for the rotation comes from a USB connection or a 120V household outlet with provided adapter. Handmade clock is quartz movement powered by a single AA battery. Clock face is available in gold, black, copper, blue, red, orange, purple or grey (a few are posted above). Clock is 6" wide and stands 12" tall. Clock is currently in limited supply and is available for $39.98.  

FREE Cartoon Coloring Pages

I've always been a big fan of automotive caricatures ("CARtoons") and recently I joined a Facebook Group where artists post their work to share and be downloaded for PERSONAL   USE   ONLY   (free  to  the  

public). It's not to be used for business purposes or copied and sold. Basically just download them and have some fun. 

I'll admit it; the headline caught my eye..."Michigan Car Owner Sued After Jeep Kills Mechanic During Oil Change". A man in Michigan left his 2019 Jeep Wrangler at a dealership for a routine oil change and tire rotation. After the service was completed, the 19-year-old lube technician attempted to start the vehicle and it "jumped forward" crushing and fatally injuring a 42-year-old co-worker. The deceased man's family is suing the car owner and young mechanic for over $15 million. According to the family attorney, this is a similar situation as if someone lends another person their vehicle, they would be liable for any negligent acts (???).  

It had been a week or so since I had checked the Mecum Auctions site and with their big auction coming up this weekend in Indianapolis, I decided to check again for any late additions. The four vehicles posted below all caught my eye. 

Here's a 1968 CHEVY C10 CUSTOM PICKUP that's had some wild modifications done and it's all steel! Stout 377 Chevy engine puts out 450 horsepower.

Another vehicle with some wild modifications, this time a 1969 PONTIAC FIREBIRD CUSTOM. Vehicle features a complete interior from a 1995 Trans Am. Power comes from a fuel injected LT1. Additional specs listed include a Vintage Air system, four-wheel disc brakes, aluminum radiator and a Pioneer sound system.    

1968 PRO STREET CAMARO / Blown 468 BBC

I had seen this truck posted before but it wasn't until I noticed that it was listed as a 1961 CHEVY 3100 PICKUP that I decided to give it a second look. The "strange" looking 1961 Chevy pickup was manufactured in South America and is understandably rare in America. Truck is powered by a 4100cc inline six-cylinder backed with a five-speed transmission. Truck even has power front disc brakes and steering.  

More of my old images that I shared recently on several Private Facebook Groups. 

(FACEBOOK)..."Pro Street  Classifieds"

I've been updating my website a little late recently and decided to quit posting "FOR SALE" vehicles that are posted on a couple of Facebook Groups that I joined. I mean it's not like I can afford any of them! So my mind is made up but then blown PRO STREET  vehicles  like  these are posted...sorry, I just

can't help myself. The 1967 CAMARO (right) is out of Missouri and is listed for $65,000. The 1975 CAMARO (below, left) is out of Alabama and is selling for $42,000. The wild looking 1998 CHEVY S-10 (below, right) is from West Virginia and it can be yours for $30,000.
