   Most folks have become very comfortable with the Rat Rod phenomenon. But for those new to the idea, a Rat Rod is a style of custom car or truck, that in most cases, imitates (or perhaps exaggerates) the early hot rods of the mid 20th century. While there are many re-creations and period correct restorations of the traditional hot rod from that era, the Rat Rods are the rough edged, scrappy country cousins. Fans argue the Rat Rod is made for driving and hanging…

Hot Rodders of Tomorrow

   There is an expressed concern in the hot rod hobbies and cycle clubs that we are “aging” out; we are getting older and not recruiting younger “gear heads”. There is a parallel concern in the automotive and motorcycle industries that it seems harder to recruit experienced mechanics; those that can figure out and fix problems, not just replace parts!   A good mechanic must know a lot about how complex parts of the cars of cycles work together.…

Well, we have 72 hours until we leave for our trip to Atlanta for the March Of Dimes. No rain predicted. I am driving from Southern California, so we'll be leaving here on tuesday, the 27th. I am so excited to become a part odf this wonderful event. We need all the charity our hearts can muster up.

 I am a new member and would like to introduce myself and my vehicle to everyone. First, I would like to say that I am proud to be welcomed to your "World Of Wheels". I know that there is a lot of "Heart" and monies, that go into these machines. I own a 2008 Honda Element, "Grass Green", in color. It is a standard model, no frills, bells, nor whistles. I chose this particular one because I liked the color. So, I am at a store shopping, and happened across some 2ft. by, ify plastic decals of…

That to me is a bad way to acquire viewers.  There were a lot of people that wasn't aware of the show, and me being the president of a car club told a lot of people about the show and they were happy to know that I was one of the chosen ones, but that didn't happen even though I did get a response stating I was chosen and would be filming Jan. 14-29.  No matter what I still have the 22 trophies I won last year regardless.

The Pantera was DeTomaso's home run. He became affiliated with Ford, the second largest auto manufacturer in the world, to market his cars for which they provided the engines. A car builders dream come true. There is no question that the lines laid down by American architect and designer of the Pantera,…

I am disappointed!  I received an e-mail to confirm I was selected to film for future My Ride Rule shows, I heard from no one and after completing all the necessary information, attending auditions, setting up filming location, leaving messages and calling, I finally got a big let down. I am the pres. of a car club and attend lots of car shows, everyone keep asking me a "when is it going to air.   Humm, disappointed.
