This was at the Cadillac La Salle Club's 50th Anniversary event (for the 1960 model year) earlier this month at Penske Cadillac in Torrance. This is in their service drive, very nice tile floor. The guy parked in front of me had his trunk open with some Marilyn Monroe stuff on display inside. He also had that life size stand up of her, I guess he's a fan.

Early this morning in Pasadena.

"STREET LEGAL BUMPER CARS"
It's easy for a gear-head to be discouraged about the state of the world, especially in times of Carpocalypse and Cash for Clunkers.
But occasionally, a bright light of awesome renews the spirit. Road-legal bumper cars do just that.

Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal. Either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines for power, and retired
vintage bumper car bodies - transformed into the most awesome form of mini-car we've ever seen.

There's seven of these little monsters floating around California, and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a gyro-gear
loose builder on the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.

They were originally powered by Harley engines but rattled like heck and Tom replace them with Honda or Kawasaki 750's...

and a couple have been 'measured' [not run at] theoretically as capable of 160 MPH which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.

Doesn't mean we would totally rock one should the opportunity present itself. In fact, we now have only one burning desire, to see these things running a go

kart track with a clown in the drivers seat.
