Scottsdale Pavilions

Here's the gang at the Scottsdale Pavilions Car Show, which runs every Saturday night.

Wendy's parents had never seen anything quite like it. They were especially impressed by the 1930's and 1920's model cars that look like they just rolled off the showroom floor.

The BMW Car Club of America was there, so Wendy had a lot to look at. I only spotted two Porsches - a 1995 993, and an '86 944 - but there was a Ford GT and a Lotus Super 7.

The car they're standing in front of is a 1976 Hearse, done up with what looks like a crematorium in the back (complete with flames in the "furnace".) The front and rear seats were made from open coffins, with the rear seats facing backward, toward an LCD that formed a small in-car theater. The rear doors were suicide, with the B-pillar between the front and rear doors removed. The engine had a high rise intake with tuned velocity stacks. Very nice!

The Ongs thought it was bizarre and amusing, and wild that Americans have such hobbies. Not a lot of people do things like this over there. Mostly, they're concerned with having enough money to eat and keep a roof over their heads.

Sort of like we Americans will be, now that Mr. "Share The Wealth" Obama is in power. Yay, Neo-Marxists. Now we can all live the dream of being a 1980's Soviet Union proletarian.
