Had a great time at the local cruise night. A ton of weird, never before seen trucks in addition to all the normal musclecars showed up. Looked what parked next to me: A vintage Mack semi. This guy just restores old Mack trucks as a business/hobby. He ships them all over the U.S. It was quite a spectacle seeing him maneauver that thing into the parking spot. It has manual steering. No wonder the guy was built like fire hydrant. He had Popeye-sized arms from driving old-school Macks all these years. Cool dude. There were some Unimogs, a half dozen WWII Jeeps, a Command car or two, and some weird Euro military recovery truck in attendance. It was fun seeing stuff you'd never seen before
I had a bunch of people come up an ask about the 30 year old 'Burb. This is the new vintage station wagon. Every who came by said they grew up in one of these Old Body Style (OBS) Suburbans. To our age group, the station wagon was THE family car of our childhood. To the newer generation, it's the Suburbans. I had one lady really trying to buy it. She had to recently junk her 99 Suburban because the frame was so bad there was nothing holding the rear diff in place any more. She said if she won the mega millions this weekend she was going to hunt me down.
I did point her across the lot to a 55,000 mile 1992 Suburban 1500 with 350 in it, that was for sale for $15k.
