But growing up in Southern California, there were Hot Rod and Muscle Car gatherings at everywhere on any given weekend in places like Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, San Pedro, different parts of San Diego, etc. As a child, my dad took me to all of them. And as I learned to drive, I went to many of them with my buddies. We always went because the coolest cars in California could be found there.
But the girls? Ummm...no. There were some cuties, as evidenced by the likes pictures 3, 5, 6, and 10 above, but most others were two hundred pound, chain-smoking blobs wearing too-small tube tops and boy shorts to show off their mass of poorly done and poorly thought-out tattoos with raspy voices, a cigarette in their mouths, asking us high school kids if we wanted to have a good time.
Yeah, no thank you.
If it was girls you were going for, Hot Import Nights, Import Showoff, etc. were the places to be. The cars weren't to our taste, but every kind of gorgeous girl you think of, from leggy blondes, tall and beautiful African American women, and cute-sexy little Asian models could be found there. Sure, some of them might have been bitches in real life. But you weren't there to get into relationships. You were just there for a little eye candy. #photography

Keep all your trailer queens and trailer trash; my heart (and other bits of my body I value highly) STILL belongs to three time NHRA Top Fuel champion Shirley "Don't call me Cha-Cha" Muldowney. These girls make better hood ornaments than top fuel drivers. Bruce Springsteen wrote lyrics about illegal drag racing in rural New Jersey, Shirley Muldowney drove the damned cars! #photography

The photos seem to require a lot of processing to get these effects. Lovely work. #photography

I will refrain from judging the women in these photos, lest I be deemed a misogynist, so I'll let you judge them for me.
But if you say anything disparaging about "Monika" (#5), or the nameless young lady in picture #10, I'll have to un-heart-clicky you. #photography

My opinion of these females agrees with yours...5 and 10 are easier on the eye. The others are just 'ruff'.
Did I keep my heart-click? #photography

God, EasyRods are among the worst things you can do to a Tbird. They never look good. Some of the Camaro based ones are passable, but the T-bird ones have NEVER been passable.
This monstrosity isn't worth 5k, much less 20.

Looks kind of neat. Not $20,000 neat, though.

Crack pipe. I bet you could find a really nice 1950-something Ford for a lot less than $20,000. Heck, you could probably get the 1950s Ford plus a 1990s Thunderbird for less than $20,000. Oh look, I just did. And neither one has a terrible flame job.

@discontinuuity: Heck, you could even throuw in a 1965 Thunderbird and still be under $20,000
