Car Show :: It's a Wrap

OK, show of hands.... Who wants the play by play of our 0-3 baseball tourney from the weekend? OK, now who wants more photos from the car show??

Oooohh. Not even close.

Here are more photos of the car show crowd -- and maybe even some cars!

Herbie Rides Again: In the sequel to the Lindsay Lohan remake, she gets so drunk she forgets where she parked the car... at the Iola Swap Meet. That's possible sober, too!

If you are dragging your kids to the car show, you might as well do it in hot rod style!

Saw so many real mohawks, this one caught my eye... And yes, Mom did buy one for Carter.

This Wildcat was for sale right across from my vending window. Now that's nice!

Eenie, meenie, miney... Mustang! So hard to choose. Why pick just one.

This guy knows how to keep his cool.

They are upgrading their signage at the show. Typically we see people with cardboard signs around their necks. This seems to catch the eye a little better. Good thing people were already wearing their sunglasses.

Paging Dr. Who??? OK, second "doctor" in two days. They must have gotten the memo that Grey's Anatomy was shooting an episode in Iola. People were definitely McSteamy (and not in a good way).

Mixed Messages: His shirt that says "This is what awesome looks like" might be out of order.

Oh, Shania Twain, what nonsense did you start with baring the mid-drift? Someone should tell this guy that was so 15 years ago.

My view on Friday afternoon. Nice modified selection!

Uhm... A case could be made for age limits on some things.

Caddyshack 2012: Carl Spackler in the house??

 

Look again... I mean it could be, couldn't it??

I don't know if I can blame Shania for this one... Tying the shirt at the waist was fashionable decades ago. On women, at least.

Making a case for skinny jeans? Or no?

Oh no! My ship has sailed.

This Fury was fired up about every 15 minutes, scaring the dickens out of me!

It always drew a groovy crowd of onlookers, though.

Where are the Fashion Police when you need them? Dude 1, please borrow the belt from Dude 2.

About that age limit...

Very cool clouds on my way home after Friday night's rain shower.

Texting while driving might take a backseat to photographing while driving. But I got the picture!

Boy Scouts for Rent... Well their services anyway. As a fundraiser, they charged to help people carry their heavy goods from the swap meet to the parking lots. See the brown, brown hay-like grass? That's why we needed (and still do need) rain!

They typically tell people at the show, if they get lost, they should meet at the Tower in the middle of the grounds to find their missing friends. This approach works, too. Again, good thing we had sunglasses on already.

Purple hair? Please tell me she's not a Vikings fan. Just this once.

Hey, Glee fans.... Coach Sue Sylvester made a surprise incognito appearance!

The cars weren't the only things modified. In this case it almost looks like a wheelchair modified into a shopping cart. I could be wrong.

This cart also was modified... with a built-in swimming pool! Sweet!

My view Saturday out the back door of the Tower.

Yummy.

Checkin' under the hood to see if it's drool-worthy. Usually is!

Staples had a sale on ink cartridges... Uff da. The dark on the woman's neck is also a huge tattoo. Ouch.

I blame this woman for walking by and prompting the 30-minute conversation about women and tattoos.

'Nuff said, I guess.

Another Mustang for sale? Shoot. I forgot my checkbook.

I was alarmed to see this on my way out of the show. It has been so dry, there had been a burning ban for the entire county so all the show campers could not have campfires or use charcoal grills. They even discouraged attendees from smoking in public. However, the Iola Old Car Show wouldn't be the same without its famous chicken dinners... So after they were done grilling for the day, the fire department made sure all the coals were doused. I think the firefighters got to eat for free, too.

Until next year...
