    There is an indoor car show this weekend at the North Atlanta Trade Center in Gwinnett County. I brought the Grabber to the show today. It is a two day show but was only gonna spend today there. But one of the judges thought the Grabber was awesome and was raving about it! :) Best of show is $500 and then $150, $100 and $50 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd so I'll be going back tomorrow ... who knows ... might make a couple of bucks.

    It was below freezing this morning in Georgia ... and the car ran so bad it was embarrasing. So tonight I got around to hooking up 12V to the Choke Mechanism and doing some adjusting. Hopefully it will run better tomorrow morning .. supposed to be a cold one again ...

    Here are some pictures ... notice the actual Hot Wheels car .... Pretty sure the car came before the toy ...

    So true!

    My car runs like crap until it warms up when it's cold to. I really need to rig up some kind of choke.

    Ronald, you make 2 guys now from here that have been in Suwanee that I haven't met. :rolleyes:

    Cool pics. I cant believe how few people were there. Was it before the doors opened for general admission? Every indoor show I've ever been to is next to impossible to get decent pics because of the crowds. Got any more of the 57 behind the purple Cuda with the normal hood?

    The turnout to the show wasn't impressive .... I don't think it was advertised well ... plus it's like $8 per person to get in .......

    Great pics Dan...that friggin 3-wheeler car is unbelievable. I can't imagine driving down the street in that thing...gotta be a little on the scary side. That's the same type of car the nerd was driving in American Graffiti...just a little faster.
