The Hot Rod Power Tour came to town!!

I have serious issues, so I'm
We live in the boonies and were surprised to learn yesterday that the Power Tour was scheduled to go right through our small town.

We took our Duster and Dart and went east to a small town called Britton. We met some friends and watched the cars go by. The house we were hanging out at had a sign that said "BURNOUTS WELCOME". Piggy asks if he could drive my Duster home because he wanted to do a big smokey. But as he buckled our daughter in the car the police showed up. Husband and the officer had an interesting conversation that went like this.

Cop "Excuse me are you the one doing the burnouts?"
Hubby "Nope, wasn't me."

Cop " That's funny, I've got a report of a green Cuda doing burn outs here."

Hubby "She's green but she ain't a Cuda. Who ever it was must have had good taste in cars."

Cop "The neighbor here video taped the whole thing and I'm going to go see."

Hubby "Have fun, By the way why you driving a Crown Vic? You know the Charger is a better car!"

Cop "Well I'm not the one who orders them, You sure you were not the one doing the burn outs?"

Hubby "Wuddn't me, How hard is it to get the job of ordering the police cars?"

As the cop was leaving a new Charger from the Power Tour drives by and my stupid husband yells to the cop, "Hey there's a Charger, go pull him over and we can throw your light bar on the roof so you cruise in style. I got tools in the trunk!"

Luckily the cop had a sense of humor and didn't look for a reason to put my idiot husband in jail.:bwuhaha:

I was talking about our Dart and Duster, I always call them crappy, it's a dumb joke my husband and I have. Long story.:shifty:

So, are the Chevies in the next picture A-bodies too? I dunno anything about them. :D
 
Another observation about the Power Tour was that the people in the old stuff, no matter the make or model, would wave out the window at us. The people in the new stuff (there was a $hit load of new Mustangs and Corvettes) would ignore us. I thought it was really interesting that the tour wasn't divided by brand, but by the age of the vehicle.
 
Sounds like fun, great pics. seems the "new car" guys are in it for the lookit me factor and not part of a "community". Wonder of which bunch would stop and help if they had trouble??

After the cop left....you can see that my husband was proud of himself.
The skinny guy is a buddy of ours who was cracking up about the whole thing.

(thank goodness I had cleaned all the rubber off the quarter panels from my last trip to the dragstrip!!)
