“the fun starts here”….
Custom Jeep Personifies Super 8 Campaign The Super 8 hotel brand has conducted $100 million in renovations at more than 1,800 hotels across North America. To promote the hoteliers’ stylish new look, the company rolled out a custom Jeep Wrangler—nicknamed ROADM8—at last week’s New York International Auto Show. ROADM8 was commissioned by Super 8 as the ultimate road trip vehicle, as the company targets economy travelers. “There’s a new demand for economy hotels—gas prices are low, enabling road travel,” Super 8 stated in a news release. “According to MMGY Global, 39 percent of U.S. leisure travel in 2017 was by road trip, a 17 point increase from 2016. Super 8, known as the trusted roadside companion, sees this as an opportunity to meet travelers on the road, literally.” Pulling its style and amenities straight from Super 8’s newly refreshed and elevated rooms, ROADM8 fully embodies the sleek, new, modern look and feel of Super 8 while bringing the best of the brand to the open road, according to Super 8. Outside, the vehicle features the red and yellow of the iconic Super 8 sign, while inside are innovative amenities like a built-in, on-demand coffee machine, custom center console mini-fridge, touch-screen entertainment, and more. But why did the hotel brand roll out its custom Jeep at the New York Auto Show? “Super 8 hotels are rarely a destination in and of themselves—rather they allow travelers to go out and see the world,” according to the Super 8 press release. “The brand took an innovative approach to connect with guests and their passion points. The New York Auto Show is a way for Super 8 to celebrate the role as a trusted roadside companion, unlocking the possibilities of the open road for a new generation of travelers.” Following the New York Auto Show, ROADM8 is headed to be with thousands of Super 8 franchisees and associates at the brand’s 2018 Global Conference in Las Vegas. This summer, the ROADM8 will embark on a multi-city tour to meet guests and owners.

APR 2018 APR 6: BUDA TX: LSRU GARAGE CRAWL: The 2018 Lonestar Roundup Garage Crawl. This year we will start in Buda, TX (just south of Austin) and will stop at several shops that are new to the crawl. The starting point for the crawl will be Murpho's Rods and Customs. Please note that Murpho's has moved from the Austin location
to a new HUGE shop. The new address is 1131 South Loop 4. Buda, TX 78610. To find the shop from Interstate 35 take exit 219 (Robert S. Light Blvd) which is just south of Cabela's. Turn west at the stop sign onto County Road 132. Go about .08 mile on CR-132 and arrive at South Loop 4 (AKA 967). Turn left onto Loop 4 and Murpho's is immediately on your left. Allow plenty of travel time to arrive as Austin traffic on a Friday can be a challenge. PLEASE NOTE...parking is very limited in front of the shop. Plan to park behind Murpho's. We have permission to park in the Connection Church lot there. We will have members of the Buda Gearheads on hand to assist/direct parking. They will park you in rows facing the road for an easy exit. Currently working with local law enforcement to assist with traffic flow and safety. I have arranged for the incredible breakfast taco trailer that we had last year to be at Murpho's. Food will be ready around 6:30 am. Arrive early and come hungry! Plans are to have the driver's meeting around 7:45 am and we will depart at 8:00 am. This start time should allow us to avoid school zones and buses as well as the morning traffic crush. Direction sheets will be passed out as we start the meeting. General information for participants...Everyone is welcome on the crawl and there is
no charge to participate. Crawl participants do not have to be registered for the Roundup. FYI...some shops are brand new construction (my new shop included) that may not be completely finished so some rooms or stairs may be off limits. I also ask that if you are in a late model vehicle or a rental car please stay at the tail end of the pack.

FOR SALE: 1940 Packard coupe. This is the last year of the freestanding headlights. It looks a lot like a ’40 Ford coupe except for the grill and hood. The car is original, very solid, in good shape. All of the chrome has been re-chromed, some still in paper wrap. All new tinted glass, as well as the original glass, a roll of upholstery material, but the seats and headliner are in nice shape, (door panels need some work. The dash has the instruments removed to re-wood grain, (I have vinyl wrap burled wood that I was going to use to cover the dash), but all of the instruments are in good original shape, wires are tagged and everything comes with the car. I also have paperwork and history that dates back to the late ‘60s. Going with my plan, I figured I’d have it back on the road with a few weeks work. Reality is, however, that I have no time and must get the house in shape to sell before April. If you are interested or know someone that might enjoy this fine car please have them give me a call, (256) 665-3345. (3-15-18)
FOR SALE: 1986 Mazda, RX7. This is a one owner car in nice shape but has been parked inside for about 8 years. It is all original with the original rotary engine and 5 speed manual transmission. There is an easy conversion kit made right here in Lacy Springs, that lets you install a LS engine if anyone wants to make a street rod daily driver out of it. I’ve seen this done and it looks like factory equipment. (256) 665-3345. (3-15-18)
