Here’s my video from the June 2023, SAC show:

21OCT2023, USMC Toys for Tots: WAR-TIME POWER WAGON, WITH MODERN DIESEL MOTOR

Ford Yellowstone Hack, don’t miss your train!

This is why people in the United States refer to the rear storage area of a car as a ‘trunk’.  In the early days you could buy a rack to mount your ‘steamer trunk’ (used mainly on steam-trains or ocean going steam-liners) on the back of your automobile, hence the trunk.

On 21OCT2023, a big pre-Halloween car show/USMC Reserve’s Toys-4-Tots drive/Trunk or Treat was held in the Old Town area of Pocatello, Idaho.

Video by me:

Before the invention of off-road four-wheel-drives, and when most roads were not paved, people used these two-wheel-drives ‘off-road’ almost daily.

21OCT2023: 1946 MERC SLAMMER ‘LOWENUF’

Pre-Halloween Poky Toys for Tots car show, boo!

On 21OCT2023, a big pre-Halloween car show/USMC Reserve’s Toys-4-Tots drive/Trunk or Treat was held in the Old Town area of Pocatello, Idaho.

The show started on the 9th hour of the day, I arrived about an hour-n-half late, and was greeted by the roar of monster motors, video by me:

There was a constant coming-and-going of people and machines. More videos by me:

By the 12th hour the parking lot was jumping, more videos by me:

A group called SE Idaho Bass Heads helped raise $685 for the local Toys for Tots.

The Trunk-Treat began in the 15th hour:

By the 18th hour it was all over, and some guy named Crazy Carl thought the show was the awesome-ist yet!
