Went to the BC Vintage T ruck S how which for the first time was combined with a vintage hot rod show. I didn’t take the truck this year, just didn’t get around to registering.

Way, way to many nice cars sacrificed at the altar of Chip Foose & chinese chrome. Howev er, I had two great conversations with owners of two great cars. First, a long talk with a Buick Reatta convertible (1 of 600) who found the car in a farmers field . Car was in rough shape, but we chatted about the touchscreen which was kickass for 1990. He turned the car on so I could have a first hand experience with the screen. Pretty retro!

Second great conversation was with a 1989 Bronco owner. Like my truck, it has been a daily for much of its life, i t has been repainted but is otherwise stock and has never seen a garage. We chatted about his 25 year ownership, the light off roading he’s done and the common wear items between our trucks.

My second car was a 1989 Riviera with that touchscreen dash. Even in 1998 it seemed downright futuristic; I can’t even imagine getting one when it was new.

Oh man, I completely forgot about this show. Not that I would’ve been able to make it anyways, but I’ll have to go next year. That’s a lot of cool stuff.

Well, it's probably safe. I mean, a Nash Metropolitan isn't exactly the best car for kidnapping. No room to stuff the victim, right?
