Yes, and Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose was another legendary 'Main.' That one and North Main in Walnut Creek were both separate "Cruisin' USA" features in Car Craft. Man, it just doesn't seem like 25 years ago.

As a 1980 high school graduate one of my favorite "flashback" movies is "Dazed and Confused." That dude with the '70 SS Chevelle kills me! We all looked like him back in The Day. That movie got it right in many ways.

I miss my high school auto shop class too. On nice-weather Fridays we'd clean up our cars in preparation for the main that night. We'd get credit just for washing and "tuning" our cars (opening the hood and fiddling around). Whoever had tunes in his car would crank up KRQR ("The Rocker"--S.F.) or KOME (San Jose) while we worked.

Man, where did the last 25 years GO?



[/ QUOTE ]Ah, yes... I'd forgotten about Stevens Creek, we only did that cruise a couple times. Gas was fairly expensive back then especially for a high school student on a limited income. ha. ha.

Yup... listend to KOME, KRQR and KSJO (which is the only one that has survived all be it a few format changes a while back.)

Where have the days gone?

I really dig that term "Street Freak" Street Freaks Rule!

Hey whitetop or whoever did they ever do a Crusin USA feature on the Chi-town area? If so I would have to imagine that it would have been Archer ave.
