Today was pretty good. I spent the morning doing work and then this afternoon went to a car show with Jason.
We liked into his Shelby and drove to a restaurant called hot rods.

Hot rods was pretty interesting. It is basically a huge restaurant that overlooks a restoration garage. The service wasn't the best as it seems that the kitchen output is quite low so they only fill half the restaurant but the food was good.
The M&M Nascar
After some wings and a burger we toured around the car show. Here are some for the sights:
A Duster
Auntie Krystal's Maverick didn't look like this...
When we arrived, we parked and started walking towards the restaurant. In that time, people were already gawking at Jason's car so he asked if he could park and show it off. The organizers said sure. So, Jason backed in and popped the hood. It was pretty funny, people started flocking over to see the car.
After the show, we headed back to Jason's. About half way there, we noticed a sound. It sounded like something was dragging. So we pulled over and saw that his lower air dam / skirt was dragging. We suspect that someone might have stepped too close and cause the dam to pop off some of the push in fasteners. Then, driving at highway speed the air caused it to further release, flipping down and dragging on the highway. Here's a pic of the dam:
No longer smooth at the lower edge.
Once back at Jason's we hung out with his fiancée, Katie, before her shift. Katie is a nurse who's parents are from canada. I've had dinner at their place a few times in the past and was invited again tomorrow.
After we dropped Katie off at work, we went back and removed the dam from the Shelby. Then, we went to oreganos for wings and drinks. We were there for a few hours and had some good conversations about work. Then, back to Jason's and I drove back to the hotel to text Lola and blog.
Tomorrow should be relaxed. Should be mid 90's and I'll try to spend time outside to get some more colour.
Goodnight from Tucson.
Visiting a car show is one of the best ways to spend a boring afternoon. Hahaha! Glad you and Jason found yourselves heading to one right after work. The resto you went to dine in looks interesting as well. I love their creativity. It's pretty easy to tell that the owner is a car enthusiast. Hahaha! Glad you enjoyed your day. Thanks for sharing the fun with us! :)
