Ooo, I went to this! It was so great! Too bad the photos linked above don't include my favorite car.

Woo hoo! What fun. Those pics made me laugh. Some kinda scary deathwish-mobiles, like this one, Cabinet O' Death. ouch.

That big hill between the dog run and the jehovah's witnesses is a pretty part of Brooklyn, between Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO (an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan-Brooklyn Overpass).

Our Gang (YouTube vid) creations in 2006.

Kind of scary that there are actually cars parked on that street. OUchie

I love these photos. I thought at first one of the guy's tshirts said "To What Eno?" which I thought was great. Well impressed with this soapbox in particular, which has a sort of classic car shape to it.
