Hot August Nights, Reno, NV (Aug 5-8, 2021)
It's sad that I now walk right past concourse-restored 34 Fords and gleaming Tri-Fives to admire a tiny right hand drive ice cream truck as seen in the first pic, but I've learned I'm a sucker for the odd stuff. This little unrestored delight from my childhood brought back all sorts of pleasant summer memories.. damn, I'm getting old
// The famed city where badass Johnny Cash once shot a man just to watch him die.. The Reno Arch spans a downtown street, and again, reminds of a time gone by. I want to pause here and make sure I don't oversell Reno.. it's a little city that happens to host a monster-big annual car show that I like, but don't let all of the romanticism sway you, this place has it's issues.. // Now here's something you might never see again- a Tri-5 12-passenger 'Limo'.. again, I'm drawn to the weird, and this little, ahem, big car is firmly in that club. // I also love those with a sense of humor, like this guy, driving a land barge, not afraid to tell the world that he's paying nearly 5 dollars to go every 9 miles
// In Sparks, NV (the next town adjacent to Reno), they have "The Nugget Casino." This one-tooth giant, known as "Last Chance Joe," is the public face of the company... I'm betting he's the guy driving that white van
