How does anyone feel about cleaning there rigs. Find somewhere around KPT. Park from say 6:00pm to about 8/9:00pm. Like at K Mart
on Stone Dr. Just an idea.

Yea, I like that one. If you don't get there early. You cant get a spot. I like to park and let everybody else do the crusin. Can you tell I grew up on Broad St.

Maybe, those years are a little blurry. Back in those days I ran a '72 orange Vega with 327 or a '69 IMSA Corvette or a white '66 Chevelle or a black and white Plymouth "Bluesmobile" or a '75 Chevy truck with tunnel ram and 2/4s or a copper V8 Vega. I traded alot back then as well!

Why didn't you leave the wheels on it? It would have been easier to push :tongue3:

I was running a black and green hot wheel in the 70's. it had a brake on one of the back wheels so I could do a spin out. :icon_mrgreen:

I wouldnt care to cruise and meet a few more members from here. That would give me a good reason to clean the truck up.

Best peddle ride I had.

Can't remember the name of it but had the one where you sit between to big red wheels. The wheels had a handle on them. You could go straight or turn them in opposite directions and spin around and round.

I think you misunderstood him. He didn't say. He would not want to meet us. A vega is a chevy mistake. Good body. First aluminam (misspelled) block. Don't fill bad I graduated in 80.

Elizabethton may only be doing this once a month instead of every weekend. Something about higher crime. I've been there a lot an have not seem anything, so I'm not really sure what they're talking about.

I think after the local businesses see a big drop in revenue they will pressure city hall to reverse that discision. Several spoke about it on the news last night.

What does clean your rig mean? I take take the trash out when it gets to the top of the body tub, or if I'm going to take the top off, don't need a ticket for littering. I wash the drive train, but if I washed the body needed parts might fall off.:icon_lol:

Cleanning : Wipe the mud out of the seats.
: Scrape the windshild. ( Enough to see out )
: Make sure to drive up an down Stone drive twice.
( Or till mud is dry enough not to fall in parking lot )
You know basic stuff. The muddyer we look, the better the
street rodders look. Other cleaning tips welcome.
