All those labels under these posts, and in the long column (about 1000) are there to help me, and you, find the stuff you are looking for. They sure help me find the things I recall having posted before, so I can add photos like these to the posts I want them in, or want to let you know where you can find similar things.

Update on the bumpercars

Created by California-based builder Tom Wright, the original set of modified bumper cars came from the Long Beach Pike Amusement Park's discards.

Instead of watching them join the trash heap, he took out the Harley motors, replaced it with 750cc Honda and Kawasaki boxes, and redesigned them to pass city driving standards. His fleet now consists of eight crazy-looking street bumper cars (culled from different amusement parks), all licensed to give your hottest ride a run for its money.

There are more pics for you on MR38's Flickr Page and here at Little Guy Street Rods.

And I just learned about the rest of these via: http://victrolacola.tumblr.com/

For attention like nothing else at the cruise, just show up in a bumper car ( the Audi R8 across the street was ignored)
