What a fantastic show! This is one of the few that is always on my calendar. I'm here from the beginning until they are kicking us out at the end. So many cool hot rods, so many good friends, great bands and more.

Every year I get up early to get all the cool rides that roll into the Ventura Nationals Show. This year I arrived before the sun was even up and the line was already huge.

Friday I headed up to Ventura for the Ventura Nationals. Friday's are always so much fun. The town fills with traditional hot rods and customs in anticipation of Saturday's show.

Last event of the day! After a nap and downloading all the pics I had already taken I headed down Whittier Blvd. to the East Los Angeles Whittier Blvd. Sign.

3rd Show of the day! The Dukes Kustoms OC car club invited me to the kick-off picnic. This is a new chapter of the Dukes Car Club.

2nd show of the day! After Donut Derelicts I headed over to The Zimmerman Automobile Driving Museum for Gassers 7

I haven't done a full day of shows in awhile and decided last Saturday was going to be that day so to kick it off I started at 6am at the world-famous Donut Derelicts. As always the parking lot was packed with all kinds of cool cars and trucks.

On Sunday I headed over to the beautiful Lacy Park in San Marino for the fantastic San Marino Motor Classic. This is always such a wonderful event.

After Donut Derelicts and Ratfest I headed over to Torrance, CA for the Jarel Built Shop Party.

Saturday after checking out Donut Derelicts I headed over to Chihuahua Cerveza in Newport Beach, CA to hang with The Rattys, a club, well really a family, with a love of old cars and a good time.

It’s always a great Saturday when it kicks off with a stop at Donut Derelicts, the world-famous Donut Derelicts.

Saturday afternoon I headed up to Oxnard, CA to the Murphy Auto Museum for the opening of the Fireball Gallery 3. There were some great artists that were part of this one.

I left the Reunion Show early so I could catch the Dukes Car Club on their memorial run for one of their fallen members. I caught up with them halfway on their run at Duke’s Burgers.

There’s a new show in town and it’s awesome! On Saturday I headed over to the Automobile Driving Museum for the Reunion Car & Moto Show.

What an epic Saturday at Mooneyes Open House. My buddy Shiney picked me up in his awesome Model A Truck and we headed to the show. It was a great day of all kinds of cool customs and hot rods.

The second part of Saturday was in Pasadena, CA on the world-famous Colorado Blvd. for the Customs Cruise. Now the fun thing about the Customs Cruise is it moves around. It’s always in a different location, the last one being on York Blvd.

Saturday was going to be a full day for me but in a great way because it was going to be filled with cool cars. The day started at the Variety Car Show at the Original Roadhouse Grill in Whittier.

Saturday I headed over to a newish (since March 2021) show just 10 minutes from my pad in the wonderful city of Whittier. The new show is Gas & Glaze and is in the Avocado Heights area of Whittier. A fun event with some cool cars and I got to see a couple of friends there too.

Sunday morning I headed up to Oxnard, CA, about an hour drive from home, to the Murphy Auto Museum for the twice-monthly show, Muscles & Mojo. It’s always so much fun visiting the Murphy.

Sunday morning I headed Culver City to checkout my buddy Jason’s new business. He recently opened up a Detail Garage and his first event was Rides & Coffee that morning. It was a blast.
