[CC Rider]

I arrived later than usual for today's Lowes Cruise. Not a whole lot of cruisers there because the skies looked like this!

Crystal Clean was tonight's cruise sponsor. That blue EZ Up will become a storm victim.

The far tent was blown OVER the red Ford truck that was parked next to our sponsor's rig and into a white Suburban parked further down that row!

The strong wind blew many of the white fence sections into the front parking lot!

Yes, it did hail. Luckily it was small pieces! Jay and Mike got busy drying their cars off.

Drove my daily driver to the cruise (washed and waxed it a few nights before) and parked with the regulars.

That's all for tonight. And only one more Lowes Cruise left for me until my big move.

Very cool Rick! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif We're going to miss your local reports!

Good luck with the move!

[Xplantdad]

Nice shots Rick! I can feel the humidity from here!

[BlueSS454]

Looks like what we were waiting for up here nailed you guys there.

[JJEH]

Bad weather - but awesome rides <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the pics...

[mockingbird812]

Thanks Rick for the show! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif I like that tri-power 66 GTO mariner turquoise with turquoise guts and a 4 speed and day-two gauges! Tail lights of a '66 are awesome and unique! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

That's funny! We had a 1976 Dodge van when I was growing up and it sometimes would not start in the rain and sometimes when there was heavy dew. LOL! We'd take the distributor cap off dry it out and then it would start.
