World of Wheels

Tonight Robb, E-Rye and I attended the World of Wheels car show here in S'port. We met up with Jerry, Angela and their son, Justin. It was really nice to spend some time with new friends. There were all kinds of cars there - hot rods, dragsters, classics, customs.  We had a great time, but I have to admit that we have been spoiled by the Concourse d'Elegance at Sean's course on Amelia Island. There is just something about being out on the 18th hole on the island in the spring with all those amazing cars - not much is going to compete with it. 

               This show did have a few things that we've never seen on Amelia Island - Clawed the Crawdad for one. He is the mascot for the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs, our minor league hockey team. We have been to one of their games, and can't wait to go back.

Emma had a good time posing for pictures. She especially liked the Nascar style go-carts.   

                                                                                                                                                                          

I was very impressed that she was brave enough to stand next to "The Beast." All the other kids we saw were walking way around this car, but Emma reached in and touched the skeleton!

My favorite car of the night was the General Lee. "The Dukes of Hazzard" is one of my all-time favorite shows EVER! When I was little I wanted to own this car ..... still do!

We also had plans to meet Mankind himself, Mick Foley. Unfortunately, an ill-timed dinner break on his part and an overly tired 4 year old worked against us. I did get a pretty decent picture of Mick and Socko from a distance. All in all, it was a great night out with my 2 favorite people.
