Was a Swell Tom shot taken somewhere in Tejas. It's subject is Jim J. Cobbs and his '34 Fordor highboy. You'll see more of it in Austin coverage and...it'll prob'ly show up in a town near you anyway..if we know the owner.....
Same trip, taken by Gabe, and symptomatic of the surreal episodes you have in 3000 miles or so. Even a pisstop is nostalgic, looking back on it.
Let's leave tonight.............
Hop Up Magazine recognized the first 'PASO VERITAS' award at the annual West Coast Kustoms swindle in Paso Robles, given to somebody who (whose car) symbolized truth, tradition and timelessness. We 'spect y'all will appreciate what we're getting at here: there is a state of the customizing art that.....ah, shit, you guys taught us! Why we tellin' you?
This'll be an annual recognition.
See ya there, especially Saturday, when, at 11:00 sharp - or when Lance gets around to it- Hop Dogs will be charred for all of us wearing Company Colors. Hop Up, Rattle Can, 100 MPH Club, Reliability Run or any other garment that originated from the Hop Up Towers (you know, the expansive complex of hi-rises in River City in which taste, fashion, and Hot Rod policy are determined each year by our highly paid but anonymous staff; the arena where the bar of cool is raised continually in its' pursuit of ....

Yeah, we go it on ya, alright...........sun shines 12 months a year and we drive the dog poop right outa our hot rods, but the State.....and the largest percentage of its' employees .wanna shut us down, Dad.
The new one is a test deal where they're gonna smell our exhaust with infra red lights and bust us for pollution......yeah..........even............. US............Hop Up Guys!!!!!.
The fuckers.
Yeah, Man, the US we're blabbin' about here is you n' me an' our pitiful little 470 mile a year (blush) hot rods who are destroying the rain forests or some other hysteria...........so then ...they been thinkin', ya see.......one a their big answers is ......they want to reward hybrids with car-pool lane privilege..............COOL!!!
Ain't a car with nitrous a kinda hybrid????????
