 ALOHA, TACO: I’m back from Hawaii, and I got the chance to experience some very fine island ganja. Very tasty, stinky, sticky Hawaiian skunk. It tastes and smells just like pinetrees, it’s OG outdoor kine bud… so good we smoked about 3ozs in two weeks. Stay Irie!!  

This past weekend the first major custom automobile show of the year took place at the LA County Fairgrounds. The Grand National Roadster show is the oldest running indoor hot rod show and is in its fifth year at the fairgrounds. The event features hundreds of hot rods, customs, motorcycles, muscle cars, street machines and lowriders. The top builders compete for top honors. This year like previous years it was going to be hard to award the best because the show presents the best of the best and the stakes were again raised. The top prize is “America’s Most Beautiful Roadster” which is presented to most beautiful and exquisite hot rod roaster. Along with the title a nine foot trophy and a cash prize is awarded to the winner.

The majority of the show entries are hot rod roadsters.

The legendary lowrider club Lifestyle was in attendance and as always their display had alot of traffic so it was very hard to get a clear shot of the cars.

Fireman’s 63 Impala “Two Face”

Joe Ray’s 79 Lincoln Continental “Las Vegas”

Danny Lugo’s 68 Impala “Strip Teeze”

Danny D’s 66 Impala “Panty Raid”

Motorcycles of all types were on display at the show.

Well, look who’s back! It’s our old friend Weekend Events. Well, at least for now. Once it gets to drinking, we don’t know when it will suddenly “go out for cigarettes” only to disappear completely for weeks, never calling, writing, or sending money. Don’t let a little rain scare you, SoCal, there’s a lot of cool stuff to do this weekend, so don’t dawdle in bed too long while the streets flood. Have fun, and be safe!
