“All these wonderful types and styles of the cars and trucks”
We’re halfway thru 2021...flyin’ by….
This week’s issue tells me we are 1/2 way thru 2021. Issue 14 is in front of you now.
As we head into July, America’s birthday is upon us. July 4th...our Independence day. HAPPY 243 Birthday!
With our independence as a nation, comes many people from many backgrounds and countries. No I am not going all political on you, hang with me now.
Our nation is a diverse one. The diversity makes us better and stronger as a people and a nation in my opinion.
That diversity plays out with our car hobby, love of cars, trucks, motorcycles and way of “car life” too.
Hot Rods, street rods, muscle cars, originals, customs, restored, trucks, Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, pro street, clones, fat fendered, no fenders, hi-boy, lo-boy, billet, cast, steelies…..it goes on and on for our hobby!
This is the diversity I am talking about. All these wonderful types and styles of the cars and trucks we love, go together so very well.
Now everyone has there own certain likes and that’s what they are driving or building to drive one day...and that’s ok. The other part of this deal is appreciating what someone else likes, and respecting what they do and how they do it too
All the choices available to us is what makes our hobby and way of life so great. Think how dull and boring a car show would be with nothing but 1 kind of car in one color and style. Early on this was Henry Fords motto...you can have any color you want as long it’s black. What did early hot rodders do, modify the model T and later models and even put some other color on the car. Ol’ Henry finally came around with different styles and added color to the order sheet too! It’s wonderful in my eyes, that we all get along so well at all our events across the USA. We accept each other for who we are and what we drive and what we do. This is what the founding fathers envisioned and wanted the USA to be. We in the car community live it everyday.
This independence we have, came and continues to come at a price. It is not free. Many men and women have served to earn our freedom and serve today to keep our freedom and way of life for us. Many of these brave military members have given their life in the pursuit of our freedom. When you are enjoying the BBQ or fireworks on the 4th, remember these folks too.
