Junior Brown played the very last Hunnert Car Pile-up. I got to shake his hand after the show and get him and the whole band to autograph the 10th anniversary poster for the event. Very nice man and one hell of a steel-git player.

I think they have a cool kind of Space Ark vibe going on.

They look better than those weird heavy duty Chevy / GMC box cabs from the '90s where they clearly took the retired panel stamping dies from the '80s regular vans and just kind of put a 4" extension around the perimeter of each panel to stretch them big enough.

Eye of the beholder ......

"Ungainly" is the word I can't shake, even though it's not a word that lends itself to the necessary level of superlative... "Spectacularly, epically ungainly"?

The Dork Fish of motor homes?

The HUNNERT CAR PILEUP was the greatest car show ever when it was in Morris, Illinois at the fairgrounds.

We consumed several beverages as we discussed each build.

I heard Iron Invasion is a close second. Sadly I cannot make it once again....

You can do worse than The Blasters, too!

An interesting break from the usual supercars I see roaming around Manhattan.

I can't tell if that's a DC-3 nose or a DC-4 nose.

Origin of the term "The Whole Nine Yards", ammo belts were 9 yds. long.

Do you know if the expended shell cases are captured or ejected overboard?

I can see some farmer getting binged by terminal velocity brass.

But the phrase is older than belt fed guns. I heard it from putting the 9 yards of fabric into a 3 piece suit.

9 yards to make a kilt was my understanding.
