Old school pics from Heatwave 97

wow i Have Chills Cause i havnt Seen some of them rides in So Long, some of them dont exist anymore i think thats what gives me the Chills lol...
i remeber Carlton's Old Orange Mini-van that Thing was Wild....

i sometime wonder wehere some of these have ended up .. stashed behind someone garage growing weeds in them or something..

Chills? C'mon Ryan...get real. It's just sheetmetal. Yeah, there cool and nice, and somewhat nostalgic for some, but "chills"?



I guess I just don't get to attached to that kinda stuff.

well some of them Rides i Seen Buildt with my Own eye's from Scratch, its what made me get into Custom trucks and cars so much... to see how they where turned into what they are these days....
sure its just Sheetmetal, but alot of work went into it....
its kind of like watching a Child Grow, going from Stock to Full Blown Custom ride....

some people dont feel the Same way about but some people dont Respect the art of it....
guess that what seprates some automotive guys from others.....

Well, if your saying I'm not an "automotive guy" because I don't get chills when I look at cars/trucks, I don't think I agree with you.

I like cars and trucks, I just don't put them up on a pedestal. There's a lot of other things in my life that move me. Feeling the love of my wife is one of the biggest. The love I have of my country is another. Watching my kids being born was a biggie. Somehow, auto worship just doesn't seem to make my list. It's just pretty sheet metal to me.

I guess I just have my priorities all screwed up.

^^^^yep, sounds like that to me. I could have done w/o actually "watching my son be born. I love my son more than anything, but could have done w/o seeing the delivery.

I kept my head up top with my wife. Didn't look downstairs while mine were born.

if you were to see you woul dbe asking the doc if he could sow that up a lil titghter when he gets dont so it would feel right again... and not be like throwing a hot dog in a hallway....

awesome! I love all those rides, I read countless mags with them in there, it's the reason I'm into the scene today!
