Good effects. Better than some of the artwork that I have seen at some of the big car shows and auctions.balinwire wrote: photo shopped Auburn at keels making dizzing blue from red car.

The Checker was ACD-related! Cord Corporation owned Checker Cab for a few years, although it was before this model was produced.
We've got to stop letting Evelyn take a blow torch to these Checkers. I think Jim has bought her 4 of them now. It is unnerving to see what she puts them through.

Thanks Mike, the hat is actually made up entirely out of beer cartons and bottle caps. Proceeds go to support the Beer Can House which is also part of this whole wacky community. www.beercanhouse.org/
If you look closely, my choker is made up entirely of beer can tabs.
I will bring the hat to Auburn, and I will wear it to Friday night's Ninth Street activities, but I don't think it is appropriate during the parade!
Yes you will need to come down and attend a show. Some of the cars have been directly influenced by Gordon Buehrig's Evil Twin!! This car is more interesting than some replicas I've seen.

Club member, Jim Fasnacht's wife, Evelyn, was participating with her Cabernet Cab which is quite dramatic at night. All of the grapes light up and it is a wonderful sight to see.
Since I was not riding in the car with her this year, Shelli and the rest of my family left around 10pm as the cars left for their annual cruise around Houston. The accident happend after midnight when all the cars returned.
I know exactly where the accident happened and it is mind boggling that someone could be driving so fast that they could cross the railroad tracks 75 yards away, and then hit a car that catapults into the victims. The accident happened on the street right behind the "Evil Cord" in the next message.
My prayers are with this man and his family. It is a tragic ending to what was a wonderful weekend.

I don't have words to express how tragic and said I find this to be. Read the sad story here.
