PCK’s Shine-Runner - Dream Car in Rod & Custom

Friends sometimes make it easy on ya. Here’s one of those times. Dig this hot rod art from Brian Stupski, my buddy from G-town (Gilbert, Arizona, but it’s really not that hip). I’ve said before that making new friends in the hot rod and custom world is one of the coolest parts of making and [...]

Labor Day on the Coast - 2008 Primer Nationals

Written by: Erock805 (Erick’s Garage) -Primer National Show Pictures also by Erock Not sure if there’s a better way of spending a Labor Day weekend then in Ventura, California at the Primer Nationals.

September Pinup of the Month-Victoria Vengeance

These pictures of Victoria Vengeance posed next to Bo Huff’s 1950 Mercury custom say cool and caution at the same time.  Heavy on the caution cause the MyRideisMe.com pick for September Pinup of the month is only partly a pinup model.  She’s primarily a burlesque performer and a lucha libra wrestler!  In her words, “Yes, [...]

Church of Hot Rod II - Congregation’s Growing!

Ah brothers… It was another fine couple-o-Sundays. Cool morning air and hot coffee strong enough to peel paint off our vintage rides. After notifying a few people at the Chandler/Gilbert Community college car show, I expected there to be a few more members. I’ve also been fulfilling my duties as an elder [...]

16 Years old on Woodward Ave Circa 1968

This story is written by Paul Schram. I met Paul after he left a comment at one of my first (and most read) blogs at MyRideisMe.com: The Real “Silver Bullet” - 2007 Woodward Cruise. The comment said: “True, not true, fact, fiction, legend, Only Jimmy and maybe I know. I have heard many stories…” Being a curious (and [...]

2008 Route 66 Car show, Flagstaff, Arizona

Written by AZAmber (Amber’s Nash Metropolitan “MetroSxl“) There’s nothing better than saying goodbye to the Phoenix heat and heading up to the pines to look at some cool rides. The 2008 Route 66 Car show was held Sept 5-7 in downtown Flagstaff, and I have to say, this historic town was a great backdrop to showcase [...]

Scott Fisk, Car artist and Car-tooner

The artists and illustrators I’ve featured on MyRideisMe.com all are super talented and I could easily recommend them. In talking and getting to know them, I’m seeing a trend in the people that make art, especially car art, their living. In talking with Scott Fisk from Studio 669 and CAR-TOONER.com, I’ve found some of [...]

Lead East 2008 - Customs, Music, & Non-Stop Partying

Lead East in Parsippany, NJ is definitely not like any other car show that I have ever visited. Actually the guys and girls over at Appleton Productions Inc., the company that produces the show, like to say “Lead East is NOT a car show, it is a party, a 50’s party!” And you had better [...]

How long has it been since you were excited about a car movie? Looking back there were a few good car movies, (Who remembers Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry) especially my all time favorite “American Graffiti”.  Has there been or will there ever be a car movie with such massive appeal and with [...]

Church of Hot Rod - Sunday Cruise

Whatever you do on Sunday, it’s always a great to meet friends and go for a drive. We’re pushing it here in Chandler, Arizona cause it’s still damn hot, even at 8 AM in the morning. This was a special Sunday cause our better halves joined the normal Sunday coffee run and we made it [...]

Artistic Photo Effect Applied to Hot Rods

A person seeing my photography for the first time usually pauses for a moment, gazing, trying to understand just what it is they are looking at. I start to smile, knowing what is coming next. I say, “No…It’s a photograph”. The reply is almost always, “Really, I thought this had been airbrushed or something.” The beauty [...]

240Z Street Racer Oil Cooler Install

When I had the 289 CID motor in this car, engine oil temperature was not a problem and at times it ran cool. The installation of the 383 (stroked 351W) changed all of that. Any extended driving or repeated hard acceleration would push the engine oil temperature up to 240º, and sometimes to the end [...]

A rocket ride to oblivion…

…and a trade that rocked the world. Twenty years ago this week, the Edmonton Oilers traded Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky to the LA Kings, marking the day that Hockey stood still. August 9, 2008 is a date that still elicits a response in any Hockey fan, and for good reason. I’ll throw in another date: [...]

George Trosley: Krass and Bernie Visit the Garage

If you have ever been to a large auto swap meet with commercial vendors or flipped through a car catalog that offers automobile collectibles for sale, then you’ve probably seen the art of George Trosley (Troz). Troz started his career the traditional way by attending Hussian School of Commercial Art in Philadelphia, PA. After schooling, he landed several well paying commercial jobs working for various studios. But Troz felt that something was missing in his life. Illustrating commercial...

Kids and Hot Rods - The Youth Crew

If you haven’t figured out what MyRideisMe.com is about, maybe this story will help. In speaking with Kai, also known as falconizer_62, I found out he’s having a few kids from a local church’s youth group help him with (you guessed it) his 62 Falcon Wagon Project. Kai’s written a few blogs in his garage. Did you know you can do that? He’s quite the craftsman, or maybe as you’ll see, all the credit goes to the kids! I’ll let Kai tell the whole...
