Whining about gas prices and bitching about glowball warming is for wusses.  Real men and women don’t give a rip, and in fact, they get together to celebrate the uniquely American icon, the custom automobile.  Last Saturday night, Boise’s “Capitol Cruise” happened in downtown.  Close off the city core, bring about half of the cars from the 1000 or so gathered at the annual car show at the fairgrounds, and let them cruise for three hours or so… yeah!

I thought about making this one into a “motivator” type post, but I just haven’t found the perfect words for it yet.  But the title of the post says it well enough for now.  Is this “in your face AlGore” enough for you?

    A friend who does fabrication like this spent some time checking this car out on Sunday when they were back on display at the fairgrounds. He said there was all sorts of trick stuff going on with this car, aircraft tubing in stepped down sizes, technically challenging weld joints, and the like. Said whoever did this knew what he was doing, and had a lot of fun doing it.

    There was another one with it. I’ll try to post another picture later on, maybe hit my “backward Idaho hicks” theme. :-)
