Default 2010 HOTROD Power Tour pics

As promised in my Alcoa pics thread, I took some pictures at the HOTROD Power Tour in Mobile, AL and posted them to photobucket. In 7 hours of walking around, I saw maybe half the cars there. It was massive in scale. They shut down the heart of the city (I'm guessing 10 blocks by 10 blocks approx) and had the police set up barricades, and the only way in was to register your car. There were too many amazing cars to see, and I liked talking to people which slowed me down. I only took pics of maybe a 6th of what I saw, and I only saw half the show at best. Still, I have a lot of good pics, of AMAZING rides. Here's a link if you're interested.

If anyone else went, please put up some pics and link here, I'd love to see what I missed. There's some pics of my car in here as well with her new shoes.

Yeah, unfortunately you did. It was an amazing show. The best show I have ever been to. Since it was the HOTROD show, almost everyone I talked to was very knowledgeable. I went to a show in Houston once and a guy showed up with his brand new G8 GXP with a 6-speed. It was really nice, and respectable, but bone stock and the guy didn't really know what he had. Right after I was directed to my spot at this show, a guy pulled up in a 6-speed G8 GXP. I thought to myself "yeah, I've seen one of those before," then he popped the hood to expose the fact that his 6.2L V8 had a super charger sitting on top with long tubes out the side. That's when I realized this show was different. Not only were there a lot of exotic 32 coupes and other such old hot rods and customs, but even the more pedestrian looking G8's and GTO's, and even a Lincoln Navigator were packing serious firepower under the hood. It was just awe inspiring. I can't wait to go to another power tour.

Plus there was the sheer volume of cars. Just blocks and blocks where they lined the streets, filled the parking lots, surrounded the parks, I mean they were EVERYwhere. Amazing day.
