“ You don’t have to preach to people. You don’t have to try to straighten them out. Just be happy, be friendly, be a person of excellence. That’s how you let your light shine, with your actions, not just with your words. ” …… Joel Osteen Cruizin’ in the passin’ lane By: Jimbo As we slip into May you only have to look at the following pages to see what an active month April was. This month will be no different. The warm weather brings out most of us to the shows and cruise-in’s. Clubs are working hard to get us to attend their event. Flyers advertise the charities that are counting on donations from the car/truck/motorcycle community. These clubs help with supplying the goods for their organizations and money to carry on the great work they do. It is impossible to attend every event but it is important that we help when we can. For those of you who belong to more than one club, your membership is a contribution to that clubs mission. Active club members, (the 10% as some say) realize not everyone will be an active member. It is important to show them appreciation when they show up at your club event to lend their support. If you need a little extra help ask them. This may be what turns a non active member into part of the 10% plus you have been looking for. New members usually join because they were invited by a friend or they are new to the area and looking for folks that share an interest. Club activities should include social events like dinner runs, picnic's and tours to your clubs supporting garages and business. These are the times members get to know each other and form the bond all clubs strive for. Every club has a core group and they may be the driving force behind the scene that plans most of the events (remember the 10% + 1), hopefully this group is made up of people who understand to importance of all their members.

The Gulf Coast Auto Show (1st Saturday in April each year) is hosted by the Coast Cruisers and shows exactly what we do as a car club family. This is the fourth year the Coast Cruisers have given a handicap accessible van to a family with a special needs child. This years recipient was Brayden Ceuvas and his mom Devan. This project was funded by the Coast Cruizers membership from Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas. Their yearly dues, along with money made at our cruise-ins and the Gulf Coast Auto Show along with the donations and help from great people like Dean Brotzman owner of Dean's Towing. A lot of hands are involved in getting this done during the year including everyone who spends money at the cruisins/shows. But when you have people like Dean step up it's great community involvement. Dean refurbished and made this ride dependable and reliable for this family. So I want to say thank you to ALL the Coast Cruisers, (active or not) Dean and everyone involved. Jimbo Hello Jimbo, I received my copy of the Motor Sports Magazine in the mail today, each new issue is better than the last. The best magazine I have purchased for the price. I have a suggestion that would help all readers of the magazine, how about listing the car shows and cruise nights separately by date. If someone is only interested in car shows it will save their eye balls a lot of pain. Same thing if you only looking for cruise nights. Just a thought that would make the magazine even better for every one. You and your team do a great job with the magazine and promoting the car and bike culture. Thanks, Guy Boudreaux Jimbo, All good Southerners already know these, but in fairness to those Yankees who came to stay down here are some of the rules of the Southern Lifestyle 1. Don't order a steak at a Waffle House. They serve breakfast 24 hrs a day, so let them cook something they know. 2. Don't laugh at people's names. Merleen, Bodie, Luther Ray, Tammy Ann, Mari Beth, and Inez have all been known to whip a man's butt for less than that. 3. Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda -- this can lead to a merciless beating. Down South it's called Coke, even if you want a Pepsi. 4. Don't show allegiances to any college football squad that isn't an SEC team. All the others are a bunch of wusses who get to play Wyoming every week. 5. Don't refer to Southerners as a bunch of hillbillies. Many of us are/have been more literate than you (e.g. Welty, Williams, Faulkner), better educated, and generally much nicer to boot. We've got plenty of business sense (e.g. Turner Broadcasting, MTV, and Netscape). Naturally, we can have lapses of judgment from time to time (e.g. Clinton, Duke). We don't care if you think we're dumb, we know better!

6. We are fully aware that the humidity is high. Quit your fussing, spend your money, and leave if you can't handle it. 7. Don't order wheat toast at the Cracker Barrel. If you do this, everyone will know you're from Ohio. Eat the biscuits like God intended and for goodness sake, don't put sugar in your grits. 8. Don't attempt to fake a Southern accent. Nothing will incite a riot faster. 9. Don't go around talking about how much better it is back home. If you don't like it here, take your Yankee butt back home. 10. We don't play lacrosse, hockey, or any of those other sissy Northern games, so don't ask about the scores. We...simply...don't...care. 11. We know how to speak proper English, we talk this way because we want to and we can. It's like playing jazz, you have to know how to do it right first. 12. Last, but by no means least...DO NOT try to tell us how to Bar-B-Q. This could lead to permanent expulsion and revocation of your work visa. Consider yourself lucky that we let you come down here in the first place. Don't push your luck! easycajun@
Jimbo, Here’s something for everyone and they are some great conversation starters‌.. 1 A rat can last longer without water than a camel. 2. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself. 3. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle. 4. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. 5. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate. 6. A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why. 7. A 2 X 4 is really 1-5/8" by 3-5/8". 8. During the chariot scene in "Ben Hur," a small red car can be seen in the distance (and Heston's wearing a watch). 9. On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily! (That explains a few mysteries... .) 10. Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants. 11. Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood.

12. The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564, 000. 13. There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver. 14. The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan. There was never a recorded Wendy before. 15. The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. 16. If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Who was the sadist who discovered this??) 17. Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down so you could see his moves. That's the opposite of the norm. 18. The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen' s "Born in the USA." 19. The original name for butterfly was flutterby. 20. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

21. The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola. 22. Roses may be red, but violets are indeed violet. 23. By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot sink into quicksand. 24. Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. 25. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest. 26. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. 27. Sherlock Holmes NEVER said, "Elementary, my dear Watson." 28. An old law in Bellingham, Washington, made it illegal for a woman to take more than three steps backwards while dancing! 29. The glue on Israeli postage is certified kosher. 30. The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from public libraries. 31. Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them. 32. Bats always turn left when exiting a cave! Now don’t you feel smarter already…….. giff1500@
New Location for Misfits Cruise-In!! ------------Our first Cruise-In of the year was moved to a new location in the Bay St. Louis Harbor and it was a great success. We had a nice turnout and everyone enjoyed having so many restaurant options to eat. And the ladies were entertained in all the specialty shops in downtown BSL. At the end of the night, we picked a beautiful car owned by Bill & Debby Brumfield from Picayune. They were in their lovely blue '65 Malibu SS and were presented a Club Choice plaque. They enjoyed the show and are planning to come back again. Hope to see everyone there! Thanks, - Donna

You Can Drive Away in the CTC Raffle Truck! Drawing Sunday, October 8, 2017
During my time on this planet we call Earth, I have learned and experienced many things. I learned early in life from helping my Dad, how to trouble shoot early TV sets, repair washing machine transmissions, also how t o f i x wi n d o w t yp e A i r Conditioners. Most all of this came under the guidance of my Dad. So I only learned things his way. Later upon entering the job market (in my late teens) I had to learn how to do things, either the bosses way, or from the other folks that were hired prior to me (most likely still the bosses way). As I progressed along in the work force I started figuring a better or an easier way (at least in my mind’s eye) how to accomplish the task at hand. As I got jobs that were far more challenging, I had to once again learn how to do things from the most senior employees in the group. This worked for me for quite some time until I started once again to figure a better way to do the job. Now let’s move further along and I am now one of the senior employee’s and there is a new batch of young folks that enter the work force, in the same position as myself. Some of these folks were very good at their trade, so it was a pleasure most of the time to work with them. They had their own way of doing things, and from time to time I would share with them how I did things. Many times they had better ideas, and I am not ashamed to say I learned a lot from them as well. I guess the point of all of this rambling is, most of my generation learned from the generation before us. And I am not saying that is a bad thing. But so much can be learned from those that came after us. They are smart, computer savvy, and instantly go to a better and easier way to do a job. My experience with them was most pleasant. I guess they were teaching this old dog some new tricks. I guess we all learn things in different ways, but lately I learn a bunch from the younger guys. I respect the skills of the younger generation, and more often than not I look for them at most automotive events. I think we all should try to do the same. It has been a productive month for me, getting closer to finishing the tile in the Queens bathroom remodel, also lots of progress in the painting of Chases Big Truck project. I am thankful and Blessed to be celebrating another Birthday this month and also one of my Grandboys, Bryce will be 4 as well. Until next month from the Carriage House, Later Gizmo

IN NEW ORLEANS After years of doing so, 2016 was the last year Championship Auto Shows presented the World of Wheels in the New Orleans Superdome. When Championship Auto Shows announced that they would not be returning, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome personnel reached out to Lionel Dowling and Dowling Productions to see if they would be interested in putting on his own premiere show. Lionel presents the Boat Show every year in the Superdome and he stepped up and took on the task of bring a premiere car show to the City again this year. Wild Wheels Car Shows had Kal Smith as the Show Chairman. Kal brought his wife, Aline and son, Jonathan in as part of this team and put his 5 years of running World of Wheels Shows to work. Wild Wheels made its inaugural debut March 17-19. 2017 and brought in what they dubbed “a new experience in car shows,� featuring 251 custom cars, hot rods, race cars, motorcycles and more. Cash awards were made to some of their exhibitors whose vehicles were deemed outstanding. The Jim Johnson Award, sponsored by Vicari Auctions, was presented to KEVIN GOITIA and his 1961 Chevrolet Impala, Audrey. This award was available to entries from within the State of Louisiana and included $2,500.00 Cash. The Walter Carter Crescent City Cup Award, sponsored by Peake BMW, was presented to STEPHEN & MICHAELE GILES of Dallas, Texas, and their 1957 Buick Roadmaster. This award was available to entries from outside the State of Louisiana and also included $2,500 Cash. Of note, Michaele does all of the detailing on their beautiful car and was even presented with the Companion of the Year Award from the International Show Car Association this year for her dedication to ensuring their car is always at her best.

Foot Notes - March 26 By Lynne Lightfoot The Westwego Police Benevolent Association hosted a fundraiser on Sunday, March 26, 2017 at the Farmers & Fisheries Market in Westwego, Louisiana, benefitting the family of, Michael Louviere, a Westwego Police Officer who was shot and killed January 20, 2017.
Entrants included Shelby Juneau, the youngest at only 18 years of age. Starting at age 5, Shelby has been working on his Ford F-150 with the help of his dad, Larry, and his “understanding mom, Sandy. He is very proud of his truck and all the work that they have put into it over 15 years.
The Wild Wheels Tool Chest Award, sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts & Martin Senour Paints, went to JOE CASHIO and his 1966 Chevrolet Nova. This award was available to entries from within a 100-mile radius of the Superdome. And included a tool box valued at $2,500.
Michael Louviere, 26, was a U.S. Marine who served in Afghanistan. He and his wife, Ashley, have two small children. He had ended his shift with the Westwego Police Department at 6:00 that Friday morning and was headed home when he saw what he thought was a traffic accident near the intersection of Ames and Barataria Boulevards. Louviere stopped, called in his position and what he thought the situation was, and got out of his car to help. He found Simone Veal suffering from gunshot wounds inflicted by her estranged boyfriend, Sylvester Holt. Holt was recently released from prison and was angry to discover that Veal was 8weeks pregnant for another man. Sylvester Holt shot Michael Louviere in the back of his head as he was trying to help Veal. Both Louviere and Veal died of their injuries. Holt shot himself later that day after a seven-hour standoff with police officers on the Crescent City Connection Bridge. He, too, died from his wounds. Fellow police officers and the public have been stepping up to help Ashley and her children in any way they can. Ashley Louviere said, “Michael was such a loving person. All I can do is picture him smiling down on us. We are so grateful for all the love and support in the community. The outpouring of love is amazing. It means the world to us, that the community is pulling together for us.” The event included food, music by Tet' Dur', Faith Becnel & The Music Krewe, Cypress and Category 6, and both a silent and live auction. There was a Poker Run that morning with more than 300 motorcycles participating. The Car Show also held at the event, had 138 entries. Charlie and I entered The Turtle, our 1952 Chevy Styleline, and my brother, Herb, entered his 1989 Dodge Pickup. We were very proud to have been a small part of this good cause. We stand with the men and women in blue.
The Baja Bandeeto, a custom, bubble-top hot rod created by renowned designed Fritz Schenck, whose vehicles have been shown worldwide, was also on display. The weekend of the show was a tough one for the Show as there were many events to compete with throughout New Orleans including St. Patrick’s Day and Irish-Italian Parades. Attendance was not what they hoped it would be but the exhibitors brought some truly outstanding vehicles to the show floor. Aline Smith said that indoor car shows are a dying industry. There is nothing else like it. Aline is right. I hope they can get the sponsors they need to bring this Show back again next year.

The 39th annual Dixie Rod Run took place on March 17th, 18th and 19th and this was the first time it was opened up to a pre 74 show. This was changed due to a decrease in cars from years past as well as declining weather for the last three years. This year was however different, at our meeting in March we asked Mr. C.W. "Chicken" Willie Smith to send up a prayer for good, if not better, weather. Well he stands in good with the Lord. This was proven by the EXCELLENT weather we had to host this years event. We could not have had any better, cool overcast skies for Friday, partly cloudy and warmer for Saturday, and Sunny and warm for Sunday. Had this not have happened, the club considered changing the name of this show to the "Dixie Rain Run." Friday saw registration open with a waiting line to get things started. Pre registrants picked up their packets. Participants abounded from Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. At the end of the day ten states were represented. Friday evening the Mississippi Street Rod Association served up a free meal for all registered participants that included, pulled pork, smoked chicken, smoked sausage, hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, breads, and a table full of homemade desserts from our lady members that would be the envy of Emeril Laigasse. The meats were prepared by our own "Bald Man's BBQ" Chef extrodenaire Mr. Vic Boggs, with help from other members. (we had taste testers from the whole club to show up, as usual, Funny how that works huh.) When all was said and done and everyone was full, fat, and sassy, the remainder of the food was donated to the Pearl Police and Fire Departments for their support of our event, see, they provide security and fire protection for our event for the whole weekend. Thanks guys and girls of both departments, great job! Saturday morning registration picked back up and ran until noon, Games started at 9:30 and ran until 11:30. The "Ladies Tea" was held at the Holiday Inn across the street from the show, this years theme was "Western". ( no men allowed, unless you wore a dress, didn't see any takers.). The club raffled off an AR-15 and the proceeds went to the Little Lighthouse School for children with Down's Syndrome and special needs. CARA was onboard holding a food drive and you could adopt a new pet. Vendors sold food, pork skins, The Chrome Guy, as he is known, was setup selling his wears, Robbie Grant was painting cars in the parking lot. (This Guy is a real Artist!) The swap meet was held in the back of the stadium where parts were traded and sold. T-Tommy and Miss Cynthia sold event T-Shirts and it seems they under estimated the

turnout and late Friday evening had to make a mad dash to the shop and print more shirts. (good problem to have, huh Tommy.) Participants of the show walked around and filled out their voting ballots turned them in and all the votes were tallied up for the winners to be announced at the end of the day. Club members picked their choices for all the homemade trophies. Seems they are more sought after than top ten or best of show. (Great job on the homemade trophies guys and girls, some of you are really talented, others are in need of therapy.) Governor Phil Bryant came in his Nomad and made his choice for the Governors trophy, stayed for a while and socialized. Always great to see him support our show and the car club. Garry and Sharron Adams made a surprise visit to the show, that was totally unexpected, Garry, one of the members of the Mississippi Street Rods has been at M.D. Anderson undergoing treatment made the trip for the weekend and had to be back on Monday to continue his on going care. Sure was great to see he is doing so well. The only thing missing at the 39th Dixie Rod Run this year was a certain individual named C.W. "Chicken" Willie Smith who had a family outing that he just could not plan around. (no matter how hard he tried, begged, pleaded his case, ect.) But he called me on Sunday night and got a full report. I just had to tell him how the power of prayer that he laid down for us had come to fruition, and thanked him for it, as he stands in good favor with the Lord and how He blessed us with great weather for this show. ( Now, I want both of ya'll on my side.) Jerry Cuevas from the Gulf Coast was in town for the show doing NSRA inspections and having a good time, or at least looked as if he was. I know he got his exercise because every time I saw him he was in a different place. Maybe a good investment would be a fit bit to keep up with all those steps Jerry. Makes your heart doctor proud, anyway. The club did something a little different this year in the awards, they had a top ten and best of show for both pre 49 and pre 74. This worked out great as none of the street rods were in competition with the pre 74 guys. The sponsor trophies seemed to work out about even with around 45 trophies given out. (Thanks to our sponsors for stepping up for us and there are just to many to list individually.) Thanks go out to two of the members for their efforts on beating the bushes for these, you know who you are. Great job from you guys, keep up the hard work. Sunday morning there was a devotional service led by Rev. Cherry as guest speaker from Crossgates Baptist Church. He was a stand in for Larry and Louise Teal as they are our regular speakers, but due to Ms. Louise recovering from a stay in the hospital, were unable to attend. He did a good job as their stand-in. Thank you Rev. Cherry. It was an uplifting message. The major awards were to follow with top ten for both pre 74 and pre 49. Then on to Best of show for both. (Thanks go out to Mr. Vic Boggs of Leonard Sheet Metals for the top ten and best of show trophies those really turned out great.) Finally the drawing that everyone stayed for, as you had to be present to win, the giveaway motor supplied by the biggest sponsor of all Union Auto Parts. When the drawing was over there was a mass exodus of cars and the club members as always lined up and gave them all a farewell wave and a "THANK YOU FOR COMING and SEE YOU NEXT YEAR"! The next will be a really memorable and special show for the Mississippi Street Rod Association as it will be the 40th. Look for information on the website, e-mails to you, and in Gulf Coast MotorSports Magazine. It promises to be one of the BEST EVER! Oh Yes, I was just informed to "NOT" to forget to remind ALL the Ladies that the theme for next years tea is going to be 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's, so bring your time machine dress and look your best!

This month we take you to the 2nd Annual C10 Round in Gulfport. The Chevrolet C10 Truck is a Chevy truck made from 1960 to 1998. The C-10 is the 2 wheel drive truck, the K series is the four wheel drive version. These trucks are getting more and more popular. Last year Paul Cuevas promoted the first C-10 Round Up Truck Show on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The first year it was part of the Gulf Coast Auto Show (2016) and they had 78 trucks. This year the C10 Show was held at the Harrison County Fairgrounds on Saturday April 8, a perfect spot for a truck show, this year there was 100 registered trucks, the weather was great and they have plenty of room to grow at the fairgrounds. Dereck Ladner and Wade Cuevas also helped promote the show. The Top 25 trucks were awarded trophies, Best of Truck Awards were handed out also for each era and 25 Specialty Awards were handed out. Trucks came from Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital was beneficiary of this show. The C10 Show was open to all Chevy trucks, plus there were camp sites available. A Corn Hole tournament featured a $100 cash prize to the winner. Southern Favor catering out of Gulfport and Big Boys Bar B Q out of Hattiesburg were the food vendors. Plans are already underway for the 2017 C10 Show in April of next year at the same location.

The Southeast Nationals Car Show was held in Tampa, FL, from March 31st through April 2nd. This was the second year since the show dates were changed from October to April and there was a great turnout again this year. There was even an increase of vehicles from last year, a trend we hope will continue. Our trip down to Tampa was nice - the weather was beautiful and lots of traffic. I guess it was because of Spring Break. Registration started on Thursday at the hotel with an informal 'Meet and Greet' throughout the day. Friday was the opening of the show at the Tampa Fairgrounds. The NSRA Safety Inspection station was set up under one pavilion, where they inspected LOTS of cars with the new 2017 Inspection stickers. In another pavilion, the Circle of Winners - cars picked at past shows - were on display. Saturday was a full day for everyone in the family. There was a model car assembly station for kids to put together model kits that they got to keep! There were also games for kids of ALL ages (even the grown-up kind) too. Saturday evening there was a ladies tea and yes, they do serve tea, dessert, lunch and entertainment. Saturday was also the Rep Pick day. There were 13 NSRA Reps and some teamed up with one of the 6 NSRA Inspectors on hand. We drew numbers in order to pick the cars of our choice. The odd #s picked pre-49 and evens picked 49 and up. It's always fun looking at all the cars, talking with their owners, and trying to make the perfect choice. I chose a 32 Roadster owned by Cliff and Joan Wicks from Spring Hill, Florida. They drive their Roadster to all the shows and I do mean ALL the shows! This will be their 4th year to attend the LA Roadster Show in California, they were in Panama City in March, and they do Cruisin' the Coast every year. They have a top and windshield wipers, but no windows! So they bring plenty of towels because they said the DO get wet, but Cliff Wicks with his 32 Roadster from Spring Hill, Florida they love it! Sunday closed with a non-denominational church service and presentation of awards. It was a fun show with good friends!

The safety of your street rod is of vital importance. If the street rod does not meet a certain set of guidelines, an accident can cause more than just replacing the parts. The NSRA or National Street Rod Association is the organization doing the safety inspections. Keep in mind that these safety inspections are completely voluntary. In most cases, safety inspections can be done at many of the street rod shows around the country. Generally, when a safety inspection is done, it is good for one year. www.streetrod101.com/safety-inspection.html

W, Hare & Son
James Polk was President of the United States of America when W. Hare & Son started, and cars were nowhere to be found. It was 1847 and founder Wesley Hare began what would become one of the largest carriage and wagon companies in the Midwest. Cars were half a century away. Today, 170 years later, Hare bills itself as America’s oldest transportation company. It is also one of the oldest Chevrolet dealerships, selling “Bow Ties” since 1921. Now the sixth generation, a pair of sisters is at the helm of Hare Chevrolet. Courtney Cole and Monica Peck bought majority ownership from their parents, Dave and Jackie Cox in 2008. Monica Peck remembers watching her Grandpa Jack Hare making coffee and greeting customers. Hare’s business advice to his son-in-law Dave Cox and granddaughters was that people enjoy doing business with people they know and trust. Back in the old days potential customers would come in and sit on a park bench that was a fixture in the showroom. They would come in and shoot the breeze about sports, the weather, family, or other topics. It wasn’t until the third day that the topic of buying a car was even brought up. To do so sooner would be considered too brash. It is different today when people want to get on with their business as quickly as possible. “Not much has changed,” says Monica Peck, who manages the operations of Hare Chevrolet. “I make coffee every day and thank customers for their business with a hand shake.” The family business plays up its history with an 1879 buggy hanging from the ceiling and a 90 foot long mural depicting the history of the company hanging on the showroom wall. W. Hare & Son is not only Noblesville’s oldest business, it is America’s oldest continuously family-owned transportation company! Wesley Hare, the son of German immigrants, started it all in 1847 building wagons, carriages, and buggies with 45 employees. It was named the “Hamilton County Wagon Works” then. In 1900 Wesley turned the business over to his son Elbert (E. M.) and renamed the business “W. Hare & Son”. Hare was producing 700 buggies annually when automobiles first arrived on the scene. Within a few years they were selling more cars than buggies. Between 1909 and 1915, the third Hare generation came to work. They were E.M.’s sons, Frank, Albert, and Willard (Bill). Now, the sixth generation piece of history has been sold to Asbury Automotive Group, Duluth, Georgia. It was a family decision that became necessary with Courtney Cole’s fight against stage-four lung cancer. Sadly the era of the Hare’s as car dealers ends. The saga of the car dealership ends just as a new one begins, as the great granddaughters of Wesley Hare continue as pitch persons. Since 2010 Monica Peck and Courtney Cole have been known to local radio listeners as “The Sisters of Savings” through their commercials. Those commercials will continue well into the future. Uncle Ezra says: It’s what you do that determines how you feel!

The Amish Buggy By Candy Cocktail Not unlike the cars packing our metropolitan roadways, the Amish buggy is the way of life for most Amish. While they use scooters or bicycles for short distances, they still consistently use buggies to get around just as they always have. Yet much to ones surprise, the Amish buggies are much more similar to our cars than you may have thought, with customizations to make each one unique. This past fall, my mother and I (and my dog Sugar) made a fallage trip to the northeastern part of our great country to see the leaves turn and visit several new places. I had never been anywhere in the northeastern United States, but Pennsylvania ended up being one of my favorite places. It was so versatile, from the historical busy city of Philadelphia to tranquil Lancaster, there was so much to see. We made a 3 day detour to Amish Country or Dutch Pennsylvania, as it is known. It was somewhere I suggest everyone visit; it is beautiful and quaint, with lots of wonderful shops selling handmade Amish goods, delicious homestyle cooking and pastries and a large number of friendly Amish and Mennonite residents and visitors. We even opted to take a buggy ride ourselves to get the authentic Amish experience. You can hear the click of horses' shoes trotting the pavement as they pull their carriages throughout the town. While visiting the primarily Amish towns of Bird-in-Hand, Intercourse and Lancaster, we opted to get the full Amish experience by doing an Amish Country tour through the Plain & Fancy Farm. Since 1959, they have been Amish Country’s original destination for memorable tours of their incredible farmlands. In an air-conditioned 14-passenger guided shuttle, we took a tour of the Amish locations you would never find on your own and were given a unique glimpse into the customs and way of life of the Amish. While on the 3part tour, we visited a working Amish dairy farm, an Amish home where the family welcomed us and told us about their way of life, and the third part, which I knew our readers would find particularly interesting, was that we visited the local buggy maker. The tour stopped at the Leola Coach Shop in Leola, Pennsylvania. The carriage shop specializes in new carriages and repair and restoration. The shop is owned by Paul A. Stoltzfus and his family works closely with him. His son gave us a tour of their workshop. Inside there were carriages in various stages of completion. It typically takes about a week for the shop to complete a carriage for an Amish family. Even though the carriages are simply the common mode of transportation in the area, the Amish craftsmen of the Leola Coach Shop do not work solely on Amish carriages. They have crafted sleighs, restored antique carriages and have on occasion done restoration work on vintage cars. While I was there, there was an exquisite white antique funeral carriage that they were working on (pictured below). You may notice that there are only photos of the work they do at their shop. The Amish religion does not allow the Amish people to have their photo taken.

While abstaining from things that we "English" (as the Amish would call us) use daily like cell phones and the internet, the carriage shop has customers around the US. So how do they receive carriage orders and show their work to potential customers, primarily Amish consumers who refrain from using modern day devices? They use good old fashioned mail to send their catalog to potential clients. The catalog displays their high quality workmanship and custom items that can be made to specific specifications. Power needed for the shop comes from a fuel powered generator. The carriages, sleighs and even buggies are sometimes sold to non-Amish buyers. Despite the old fashioned exterior of the coach, it is still a modern day mode of transportation. The horse and buggy are used for daily transportation, but what about for far distances? We asked just that and if the Amish had an exceptionally long distance to travel, they typically travel by train. The Amish can travel by plane in emergency circumstances if given permission by their bishop. In addition to the buggy, Amish travel by bicycle, which is popular in Florida, or by scooter, which was extremely popular in Pennsylvania. The horse drawn buggy is intended for the Amish ideal that journeys away from home are less frequent and not far away so that the family stays close. The technology in these buggies is surprisingly modern for an 1800s method of transportation. Primary components of the carriage are the torsion axle gear with air bags, a battery box which is placed on the side for

easy access, wheels, a switch box and underdash (the customer can choose a custom combination featuring various colors and styles), stains and finishes for the interior in over 20 different shades, custom shapes of brass, nickel and bronze knobs and handles, an air compressor and air compressor gauge, a wide selection of patterns and colors of sculptured carpet and absorbent mats, a clock, speedometer, toggle and rocker switches, mug holders and various colors and shapes of mirrors, marker lights, tail lights, strip lights and fog lights. The 40 inch wheels come in four types of composition: wood, fiberglass, and aluminum (all three types weight 46 pounds per wheel) and steel which weighs 54 pounds per wheel. The wheels contain a thick rubber that helps to reduce the sound of the tires on the road while cushioning the impact of potholes on their carriage. The windshield wipers are there but they must be manually twisted from left to right using a small handle or knob inside the buggy's
22

front windshield. Brakes are automotive-style, non-powered drum or disc brakes mounted to two wheels. These carriages will typically cost around $8,000 (horse not included). The price is about the same price as most of us spent on our first car, yet because these buggies are made in the high-quality way that the Amish have become known for, they will last a long time. Typically a buggy can last for 20 to 30 years before any major rebuilding needs to be done. Even then, it is not uncommon for the same buggy to be used for 50 years, being rebuilt several times. States with large Amish populations, such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, require drivers to turn their lights on when using public roads shared with cars. As long as the local church approves, an Amish community is allowed certain forms of technology. The battery can be used to power the lights as well as kerosene or gas lamps inside. A single 20-volt/6-amp battery, the type that powers an electric drill, runs the whole electrical system for two to three hours on a charge. Those traveling for longer carry spare batteries. Most buggies have a front console, much like our front dashboard, with a switch box that contains all of the electrical switches a driver would need (headlights, taillights, interior lights and turn signals). A horse and buggy's vintage looking exterior is similar to that of the average car. The exterior can be made from fiberglass, aluminum, oak, wood and other fabrics or modified wood. In the Amish world, the carriages come in different colors and those colors correspond to what variation of religion the Amish are. Designs designate specific communities and groups. In places where Amish and Mennonites live side-by-side, like in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, there are different styles on the road; the Amish drive gray-topped buggies while the Old Order Mennonites have black buggies with a boxier shape. Gray buggies are the most common although they can be yellow, brown, white, etc. and range in style from carts to open wagons to enclosed buggies. Interiors may vary based on what is accepted in a given Amish church, and the age of the driver, in which you would be likely to find the more creative interiors found in the vehicles of the younger generation. Amish youth further customize their buggies with interior and exterior decorations, woodwork and even music systems. Just like English youth, Amish youth typically get their first buggies at age 16. Purchased by the parents, they will buy the horse, harness and a used buggy. There is a strong demand for good used buggies because of the Amish youth. Some buggies enable passengers to enter through a sliding door, while others use roll-up curtains. Buggies can be two-seater, fourseater, half-enclosed, completely open and so on. In Amish areas, many businesses, from mom-and-pop stores to McDonald’s and Wal-Mart, provide buggy parking areas and hitching posts. Crucial to the Amish lifestyle, the horse and buggy come to be a symbol of the plain people. Amish feel that the horse-drawn carriage
www.GulfCoastMotorSports.com
promotes a slower pace of life and a greater reliance on community. Amish cannot own an automobile, but most Amish are allowed to ride in a bus or car. Amish not only use horses for their buggies, they additionally use a number of horse-drawn devices in their daily lives, especially for farming. The Discover Lancaster website said it best: "The Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County are America's oldest Amish settlement, where thousands still live a centuries-old "Plain" lifestyle. Arriving in Pennsylvania Dutch Country allows you to step back in time to enjoy a slower, more peaceful pace - one where the horse & buggy remains a primary form of transportation, and where windmills dot the landscape, providing power harnessed from nature."
I cannot recommend a visit to Dutch Pennsylvania without also suggesting a wonderful accommodation! If you do decide to make a stop in the lovely little town of Intercourse and are looking for a place to stay, I would highly recommend making a reservation at the Best Western Intercourse Village Inn & Suites. The hotel not only has an ideal location, but it is beautiful, clean, charming and the staff are some of the friendliest I have encountered. We were so impressed with the hotel that we ended up staying there at both the beginning and end of our trip!

I'm sure we all have seen the iconic poster from the War World ll era. The famous "WE CAN DO IT" poster. With the young women posing with a rolled up work shirt on. With a polka dot bandana in her hair. After watching a documentary on how this movement started. I was moved to share what I thought some of you might not know. Kind of like me. See Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of the United States. Representing the American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II. These women took entry level jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. Rosie the Riveter was used as a symbol of feminism and women's economic power. Rosie the Riveter wasn't just one women. It was a number of women the stepped up to support the United states during the World War II. Like these two real-life "Rosie the Riveters", they are getting recognition for their contributions during WWII. Phyllis Roullier and Mary Jezowski-Serge built planes at Willow Run during the war. They were honored at the Yankee Air Museum. Not even a mile from where the original plant stood. Phyllis Roullier told Highway Media she's proud of the work she and her fellow riveters did. "I was really proud to be Rosie the Riveter and be an American and doing my part for the war," Roullier says. Women workers were widespread in the media as government posters, and commercial advertising was heavily used by the government to encourage women to volunteer for wartime in factories. Millions of women were encouraged to work in industry settings and take over jobs previously done by men. Nearly 19 million women help jobs during World War II. Many of these women were already working in a lower paying job or were returning to the work force after being laid off during the depression. One government advertisement asked women: "Can you use an electric mixer? If so, you can learn to operate a drill."[ Although most women took on male dominated trades during World War II. They were expected to return to their everyday housework once the men returned from the war. Being able to support the soldiers by making all different products made the women feel very accomplished and proud of their work. African American, Hispanic, White, and Asian women worked side by side. Kirstine Vrooman shares about the time when she decided to take action and become a riveter. She got a job building B-17s on an assembly line, she shares just how exciting it was saying, “The biggest thrill — I can tell you — was when the B-17s rolled off the assembly line. You can't believe the feeling we had. We did it!"[ In 1944, when victory seemed assured for the United States. Many women returned to traditional work such as clerical or administration positions, despite their reluctance to re-enter the
24

lower-paying fields or the role of the housewife. However, some of these women continued working in the factories. According to the Encyclopedia of American Economic History, "Rosie the Riveter" inspired a social movement that increased the number of working American women from 12 million to 20 million by 1944. Even after the men returned home for the war. Although the image of "Rosie the Riveter" reflected the industrial work of welders and riveters during World War II. The majority of working women filled nonfactory positions in every sector of the
economy. The experiences of these women was that they proved to themselves and our country that they could do a "man's job" and could do it well! For some, World War II represented a major turning point for women as they eagerly supported the war effort. After the war, the "Rosies" and the generations that followed them knew that working in the factories was in fact a possibility for all women. So when you see the iconic "WE CAN DO IT" poster, (designed in 1942, by a Pittsburgh artist named J. Howard Miller that in later years would be called "Rosie the Riveter") you should stop and thank each and every "Rosie" that stood up and took action to help support the United States of American. In a time and place where the women were housewife's. Dinner on the table by 6, and cleaning the house was the only thing they were told they could do right. They showed up in great numbers to support our troops. Doing this was unheard of for some women, but a challenge to many others. And that is something we should all take a moment to be grateful for. So with my closing, Id like to say thank you to all the service men an women that have not only made the United States of America what it is today, but what it will be for our future generations to come also. And thank you to all the Roise's of the world. I know that this movement changed the way many people thought about the women. The Roise’s of America allowed other women to be strong and show what we really can do. They did it‌. And we can we do it, too!! XoXo

Caffeine and Octane in the Morning By Cassie Mullins - Shadow Rose Photography Saturday March 18th, I woke up and realized I needed my daily dose of Caffeine and Octane. I hopped in my car with the lovely pinup model Shevi De Lux and we took off for Jekyll Island in Georgia to one of the biggest car events of the year. The amount of vehicles were insane. There was everything from mustangs to Allards. There was also a large collection of motorcycles and other fabulous cars built by the Fuller Moto Company. I have been photographing car shows for some time now so this show was no exception. Shevi De Lux and I both came in full pinup and had a wonderful time talking with car owners, browsing all the vendor booths, and even getting a few pictures taken by Joe Valicenti, who is one of the show’s creators. Everyone was awesome and I cannot wait to attend the next Caffeine and Octane car show.

Hallowed Ground! Photos & Story by: Brian Barsema Any show that can display over a thousand rides, is a site to witness. Standing In the infield of one the most historic tracks in racing brings awe to all that enter. Welcome to Mega Show Weekend in Florida! March 25th! Living in Florida comes with hard choices for any car lovers. Massive Mustang shows to the North and Central Florida, Billetproof at Don Garletis Museum in Ocala, Spring Turkey Run, and many more little shows. We decided to get our weekend dose of car show fun in Daytona, Florida. The 28th Annual Spring Turkey Run. Turkey Run is a very large tradition for my family. I remember coming to the track with my father usually during Thanksgiving. Truck or camper always full leaving with a bunch of new car parts, every time. The shopping is always great. The clubs are always welcoming, especially to out of towners. Out in town, is so welcoming with more great cruises and people loving the cars at each cruise. For my kids to share the same tradition it is priceless. This show is mostly contained within the historic track. The different car clubs usually park together around the different turns of the track. It is a good time had by all. It is a very large show that takes a lot of hard work from the track and all the clubs to make it successful. Rat Rod, imports, antiques, whatever your heart's desire can be found within these walls. Grab a map because this show is monster of a show and you never know what you might miss out on. This particular show, I spent time near the AMC club. Owning my father's old Nash Metropolitan, they are few and far apart these days. Any knowledge is useful! This show is so big I had multiple friends from as far away as Louisiana and South Carolina in the track walls. I still missed multiple people inside this track that I have met from everywhere inside this massive event. Bring walking shoes, good clothes, and sunscreen. Spring or Fall this event is completely another level of show. Be prepared bring cash and be prepared to lose the cash on goodies because once the fun starts you will either be dead tired or not wanting to leave. I will continue to visit this massive show year after year. Time and travel are well worth the trip. I cannot wait to see what the future of this show holds for this Mega Show on Hallowed Grounds!

Shadow Rose Photography's Pinup Shootout Story by Brian Barsema March 14th, 2017 Twice a year, I have the wonderful privilege to work this event. This event is to help pinups, photographers, and car owners learn from one another and build contacts within each other's communities. This time we hosted it in the beautiful grounds of the Trout Creek Fish Camp in St Augustine Florida. (A Photographer's Dream Site for picture taking.) We have held this event a couple times in different locations. It keeps growing! Our family of car and pinup culture keeps growing. We have the best car owners around who try to support us time and time again. Everything from Hot Rods to Rat Rods to even our first imports to the list. This time we needed all the support we could get. We had a couple clubs schedule last minute shows, one being a bigger show. Our event was held the last day of the Concourse in Amelia Island and they cancelled completely due to strong storms rolling through our areas. We decided to gamble and roll the dice. We held it despite. We lost a lot of big tire Drag Cars and Rat Rods because of the storms. We found a way to make it work. We put the large Jeepers Creepers and all the cars under the pavilion during the rain kept on shooting. Our farthest traveling Pinup lady Shevi De Lux came all the way from Texas to participate. It was quite a pleasure to get our family of misfits together. We had reappearances from: Jeepers Creepers the 850 plus HP Mega Truck Rat Rod and Bevin's Garage Rat Rod Tow Truck No Mater. These trucks are absolutely fan favorites anywhere they go around Florida. This year we even hosted a best shot contest judged by a local car club representative, a representative from the Great Race that is starting in Jacksonville in June (where it originally began), our main host Mrs. Shadow Rose Photography, and the owner of Grease Rags Clothing company (a locally owned pinup shop in North Florida). Sadly, due to watching the bad weather coming in and prepping, and helping one car owner who lost a radiator trying to attend, my pictures were limited. Making sure everyone is safe and okay kept me on the phone checking making sure the car made it home safely. I asked Mrs. Shadow Rose Photography (Cassie Mullins) to include some pictures in on this article. We all had a blast. The photographers, pinups, and car owners still came away knowing we had fun and we created just a little bit of magic!

Welcome to Georgia April Fools Rod Run April 8, 2017 Waycross, Georgia Photos & Story By: Brian Barsema Welcome to Georgia, April Fool's Rod Run is next visit to get car show fix going. Perfect weather, not to hot or cold. This show is country fair atmosphere in a car show. Rods come from all over. Everyone brings their cars, tents, and families out for this one. I recognized cars from Pensacola to Edgewater Florida making the long drive up for this one. Family on Saturday is name of the game here. While you enjoy the show your kids have plenty to do. Power truck bucket rides, slides, bouncy houses, tractors for climb on, and displays from the local first responders. The cars on the field hold your attention, but shows on stage highlight this great venue. Little kids dancing, singing, and school participation make this medium sized show a truly great atmosphere it was. Enough about the perks of this show, let's get down to rides. Entering the gate first thing you see is no mater for the kids. Then great ride after great ride. I will tell you right now. I have seen some these rides in multiple car magazines. The first famous ride I noticed was Ken Cornine's PAC RAT for Edgewater Florida with multiple features in magazines. Up and down every row I recognized certain rides that I have in features at my house or have seen recently. This show has pull. Georgia has its best and brightest on display for this show. The rides and rods are not done justice by any picture I can take at show. Rodders traditionally meet up on Friday night after day one of this show and they do some cruising. The draw is here, rodders go behind the Apple Bees and motel nearby and light them up. They show case these rods for everyone to see. In the car community, I could see messages from a state away car people talking and preparing to attend this part of the show. They go out and have good old fashion fun with these rides. I was sad to have to leave this show and hope to return one day. This show has room to grow. If you ever are around Georgia for April Fool's Rod Run it's an amazing stop on my travels from show to show. You would have to be Fool to not attend this Rod extravaganza.

Now, of course, there's shipping and handling, too. ..A husband is someone who, after taking the trash out, gives the impression that he just cleaned the whole house. ..My next house will have no kitchen just vending machines and a large trash can. .. Definition of a teenager? God's punishment...for enjoying sex. Thought for the day: Be who you are and say what you feel... because those that matter..don't mind...and those that mind... don't matter!

And as you slide down that Banister of Life you should pray that all the splinters are pointed the other way...
By: Gizmo I met these folks a few years back, while I was rebuilding my 3 window coupe. Mike Miller and Benjamin Miller of True Custom Steering Wheels in Carriere Ms. Their specialty is building steering wheels. But not just their idea of a custom wheel, but pretty much anything a customer could want or dream up they can build it. If you can sketch it out roughly or communicate to them what you desire your wheel to look like, they can draw it up nice and show you a rendering and with your approval proceed to build your wheel the way you imagined it. Mr. Mike started doing machine shop work in Florida in 1988, and opened shop here in Carriere in 2003 doing the custom steering wheels. He was doing this as a one man operation until about 2012 when his son Benjamin retired from the Navy he decided to join forces with his Dad. They are both quite capable machinists and turn out some truly remarkable stuff. They recently built some things to support the efforts of Travis Motorsports on Shane Lester’s new Mustang, The Evil Twin. They are not limited to just steering wheels they can pretty much build or solve most all machining projects or problems. They have built more than a few one off custom pieces for me for both the Chases Big Truck project and my 32 roadster. They are both well versed in Hot Rod speak and are both gearheads at heart.
One of their customers wanted a twelve inch diameter steering wheel for his racecar; needless to say none were available on the aftermarket. Oh and he wanted it in aluminum. So off they went figuring out how to build a tube roller to bend a perfect circle of aluminum tubing, one of the pictures shows that neat little machine they built to do that. Their shop is equipped with a compliment of machining tools typical of those required to do complicated machining processes and they are very reasonable on their rates. Plus the fact they enjoy solving problems and machining up a solution. A third generation machine shop protégé is coming up behind them, and he expressed interest in a project that the senior Mr. Miller had started a while back, the 32 sedan in the picture has been handed over to that grandson to move forward with. When I first met them the Sedan was pushed way to the back of the shop and barely visible, not at all what it looks like today. So if you are in need of a custom wheel, or a special bracket, or a neat little mount machined, stop in and see them or give them a call, you won’t be disappointed. Later Gizmo

Stefanie Lea As you know Jeramie and The Flammin 8 Speed Shop are well on their way with the Rat Rod they will be driving to SEMA this fall. As we watch this team get closer to what will be a great addition to The International Rat Rod Build Off Competition for this years show in Vegas. Its my honor to introduce you to another team representing TEAM U.S.A.! They call themselves Team Cutters.... from Trementina, New Mexico. Charlie Pacheco with his wife Karen and their beautiful children Isaiah, Anjelica and Aubri. Along with Charlie's parents Elmo and Rita Pacheco. Who are all proudly supporting him on this adventure. Mix in a few hard working friends and cousins then you have yourself *** TEAM CUTTERS!!
Charlie is someone I can relate to more then I thought at first. He is in this competition for the love of the build. The passion he has for Rat Rods is dully noted. With his family by his side this is something they chose to do as a hobby together. Just like with my dad and our family, with every Rat Rod Dad has built over the years, we all come together to add something to each of his builds as a family. I'm sure Charlie and his family will do the same. And they will be making plenty of memories along the way. Team Cutters build is a 1942 International KB 3 truck. They will be making a scaled down version of a semi. This plan started when Charlie went to an auction held for an elderly farmer in Endee, New Mexico. They are putting the ’42 on a 1 ton Chevy Chassis, with a 12 valve Cummins diesel engine under the hood. Along with a P7100 fuel pump with a 5 speed Allison transmission. Running a tandem rear axle, with 10 x 22.5 inch Alco wheels and tires. Also they will put a 32 inch sleeper on the back of this beast. All this riding on a air ride suspension. Of course it will be dropped a few inches as any true Rat Rod builder would do. Its sure to be a show stopper. Charlie and his team started this build in February. They already have the wheels on the chassis. Along with the body on the frame and the front clip mocked up. I’d say they are well on their way to a great build. So sit back and enjoy what's yet to come from these two amazing teams. As we not only watch these Rat Rods being built but come to life. We also get to watch two teams come together, building life long friendships as well. I can say they are both proud to be working together to make TEAM USA all it can be. Good luck TEAM CUTTERS! As we all look forward to more from both of them on THE ROAD TO SEMA 2017! XoXo

Just a heads up. Those good times you're waiting for, or that easy road, or that long prolonged time of drama free living. It's Never going to happen. Things in this life are never going to be easy. The road is never going to be smooth. Drama will always be there right over the horizon. What will change is You. The ability to strengthen your tolerance for all the hiccups that life brings on a daily basis. The wisdom to overlook petty bullshit like traffic or a wrong lunch order,or somebody that owes you money, and not let it ruin your day. I personally have never even cared about gas prices. Even when I had No Money, I knew I needed to go places in my car. So I just got what I could afford, and kept rolling for as far as I could go. So don't get bogged down by this normal life. Don't think everyone and everything is out to get you. It's always going to be You vs the world till the day you die. Build up your armor and battle through it as it comes. Don't ever wait for things to get easier. Get stronger so it makes it easier.
