Hey everyone,
I just got back from Los Angeles this afternoon after attending the Fabulous Fords Forever Show 2010 in Buena Park with my 96 Cobra. The show was awesome, plenty of great cars, weather was warm and sunny, lots of people, ran into some familiar faces (CobraTerritory, EPIK, Streakmatt, etc), and just had a blast in general. Before I get on to the pics, just a few notes:
- That I-5 drive can be pretty brutal on the front of a car given the amount of 18-wheelers running around. I think next year I will use some temporary bra or cake the front end in wax before driving down. I'm not surprised that some of you guys don't want to do that drive or decide to use a trailer instead. I also had about 500,000 bugs commit suicide on my front headlights and windshield, lol.
- The Cobra performed great, layed down 21-22mpg with the 4.30 gears, and gave me no problems at all. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
- On the way home today, I got pulled over in San Luis Obispo for tinted windows along 101-N. I'm obviously not happy about this considering I have to get the door tint removed and ticket signed off. I will probably end up going with a lighter shade of tint in the future (50% maybe?). The CHP officer mentioned that any tint is illegal on the front doors, no matter the % transparency. That was a suprise to me as every damn car that I passed along the way after that had at least 50% tint, lol.
- I lived in Los Angeles for 5 years (99-04)while at UCLA, and this weekend reminded me why I left. What a concrete jungle clusterfuck that place is. It's smoggy and congested. On Saturday I drove 20 miles along PCH in Santa Monica and could not find a single place to pull over along the coast for a photo opportunity.
Anyway, on to the pics!
First, a few of my car :
I also have to admit that this light blue '63 Falcon ended up being my favorite car at the show. Stunning paint, sleek body, enlarged rear wheel-arches, custom interior, & deep dish TT2 wheels. Left me breathless, and I don’t even care for Falcons!
