Last weekends fun

Like many Autologgers not all I do involves being on a race track or burried underneith the hood of some hot rod. There are times when boating or other motor driven activities arise and I must indulge in the larger passion of speed.

Last weekend I was invited to bbq that a buddy's boss was throwing at their work for Arlington's annual a href="http://www.nweaa.org/">Fly In/a>. Situated right on the run way, next to the bad, near the food and even closer to the beer, my buddies and I had a great view of the acrobatitics and high performance planes. What a hoot but the surprising part was not the loops, hammer heads and barrel roles. It was the host of hot rods that showed up.

The last thing I expected was to see vintage American muscle at a airshow, ya know? It was cool non the less. There were a range of cars and my personal favorite was my buddy's boss's 2008 Z06. It was so savory but the heart stopper for many was the 65' GTO.

Another car that caught my attention was a California Special Mustang.

It was fun to see a host of old rods making there presence felt at an air show. I took only one picture of a plane over head and not worth posting but maybe next time.
