It was today where I work.

One guy went through all the paperwork, security and admin hoops to get this done. About 25 cars showed up and many in the crowd had cars but haven't had them out in years. (my buddy with the '68 Mustang fastback 428 stick car got beat down by Mrs. 914)

It was a successful by all accounts. I'm not allowed to have a camera here, but there was someone from the PR office. If they put out a report I'll put it up.

Five Corvettes, some old domestic iron retroed with small blocks, my 914, a few kit cars and some showed up from people that I never would have suspected as car guys.

Everyday is bring my hot rod to work day.

I like to make it a point when i get here early to park as close to the elevator as possible, so everyone sees the hideousness.

Free advertising for GRM, though, it's all stickered up!

I was gonna do that today... but A.) it's not a hotrod, 2.) I felt lazy and didn't want to unload it from last Sunday's auto-x.... so I failed.

I guess i'm in the same boat.

I call it my hot rod just because it's funny.

I wonder how your 1st Gen RX7 would like a 100 mile run carrying your 350 pound client.
