Grand National Roadster Show....adventures with Cockgrease

I had been a bit wishy-washy about going down to Pomona to work for my friend Rea helping her sell her pomade Cockgrease. She called me Thursday, begged for my help since this show is one of the biggest car shows in California, so I reluctantly said "yes." I am glad I did...it was a great show and it was awesome getting to spend some quality time with Rea. Rea is an amazing person and I am so grateful to have her as a friend.

Rea and her husband's "Grease Rocket" entered in the show to promote the pomade

Friday, while I was outside smoking, I was approached by a guy who said, "we follow each other's blogs!" It was Rick, from Boston who has a nice little blog 59kustom. Now that I am into this "Blogosphere," I am always delighted to meet someone who's blog I follow or who follows mine. There is an instant comradery.

We were set up in the Suede Palace. There were some of my favorite vendors like My Babyjo, and I bought one of the 40's house dresses. They didn't have a size large in any of the prints, I couldn't believe it when I tried on a Medium and though it was on the tight side, it still looked cute! Liberty was also there, and someday I swear I will buy one of their awesome repro vintage motorcycle sweaters! Great customs were in this room, and my buddy Max was working across the way for Gambino's Customs.

Amazing Cars!

Little Mo and the Dynoflos played!

I met Gene Whitfield!

I went to a show to see the Hexxers play...I was a bit shocked at Rockin' Ryan's and Rory Justice's appearance, but they still rocked out the good old Garage

Had the pleasure of chatting with a member of the Cavaliers Car Club from Long Beach

Overall, it was a great weekend! I saw a lot of friends and met some new ones. If you are into customs and hotrods, this is a show you don't want to miss next year.

Drumroll, please!

And the winner is.....

Marci J!

Marci, please email me at Kim@thebombshells.net with your address so I can send the book.

I am going to Pomona this weekend to work the Cockgrease booth at the Grand National Roadster Show. I will ship out to you Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks for everyone participating and making this a great contest!

2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon view

Unlike its more plebian Honda mother ship, Acura has never sold a wagon in the U.S. Until now, that is. The all-new 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon represents a first for the marque, which is introducing a low-slung family-hauler at a time when year-to-year sales of its RDX and MDX crossovers are up 52 and 47 percent, respectively. Odd timing? Perhaps, since the crossover segment continues to grow and the wagon segment remains niche. But, according to Acura’s assistant VP of product planning Vicki Poponi, there are two very plausible reasons why the TSX wagon may surpass its modest 4000-units-per-year forecast.

First, 15 percent of TSX sedan “leavers” — those customers who replace their TSX with something other than another TSX — shift to SUVs. As Acura sees it, there’s an opportunity to keep them in the TSX fold with a vehicle offering SUV-like versatility. Second, Acura believes the TSX wagon’s target customers — 30-plus-years-old couples with college degrees, $120,000 household income, and a child on the way — prefer greener and sportier alternatives to more fuel-thirsty and higher-riding crossovers. With EPA city/highway fuel economy numbers of 22/30 mpg and a low center of gravity that helps deliver an estimated 0.82 g of lateral grip, the TSX wagon is indeed green and sporty.
Compared to the 2011 TSX sedan on which it’s based, the wagon adds 3.6 inches of length and 1.2 inches of height, making it dimensionally larger than its main competitors, the Audi A4 Avant, BMW 328i Sport Wagon, and Volvo V50. But those bigger measurements don’t add up to a discernible cargo advantage. The TSX wagon, with 60.5 cubic feet behind the front row and 25.8 aft the second, delivers capacity on par with the others, coming closest to the BMW (60.9/25.0). That said, it’s worth noting that the TSX offers more cargo room than its crossover sibling, the Honda Accord Crosstour (51.3/25.7), and nearly as much as the RDX (60.6/27.8)
