ALTERED METAL 2021
ALREADY IN ITS SECOND YEAR, THE ALTERED METAL SHOW PRESENTED BY KILLA KUSTOMS AND FINER PAINT AND BODY WORKS, IS QUICKLY BECOMING A GREAT WEEKEND EVENT DESIGNED THE ENTERTAIN THE WHOLE FAMILY. This event, based in the heart of southern Louisiana, has everything from local Cajun food to some amazing tie-dye tacos. Plenty of fun games and contests are held throughout the day to keep the whole family busy and, of course, a ton of sweet trucks are on display all weekend long. This year the production team behind Altered Metal provided a fun kid-only Easter egg hunt and a separate adult-only egg hunt that is so fun to watch!
2021 DUCATI MULTISTRADA V4
In many ways, the Ducati Multistrada set the bar for sport touring motorcycles when the first model rolled out of the factory in 2003. And while either you loved the ’80s sci-fi aesthetic or hated it, it was a game changer.
LOST IN BAJA(Sort of)
Passing Rosarito Beach on Highw ay 1 is the moment stress melts away. The headache of crowded southern California interstates, the border crossing, and the packed streets of Tijuana (with Google navigating, of course) disappear when you finally see Baja’s western shore for the first time.

Phil and Cami Barrows' ‘57 Chevy 150
Phil bought his ‘57 in 1978 and it was his regular daily driver for years, and his favorite memory is leading a parade of classic Chevys from the church with his bride Cami to their reception on his wedding day! But a few years ago Phil got the urge to rebuild the car.

PORSCHE VS. CORVETTE. NOW MID-ENGINE VS. MID-ENGINE. THE FIGHT THAT (THANKFULLY) NEVER ENDS.
AUTO ART
My family lived in North Long Beach, CA, so you just KNOW I had a great first half of a childhood right in the middle of Custom Car Land. My first car show was in 1951 at the Pan Pacific Auditorium with my Dad. Larry Watson’s first shop was 3 1/2 blocks from our house.

#Minivanlife
From the 1980s through the late ’90s, families and minivans went together like ketchup and French fries. That was certainly the case among my friends’ families, all of whom drove around Mexico City in white Ford Windstars. Our own green Windstar was easier to spot in our school’s pickup/ drop-off line, but its sliding door, spacious interior, and carlike ride were no less perfect for our usual carpool of six. Prior to that van, we had a red Windstar and a white Chrysler Voyager, but those ended up being stolen. See, we told you minivans were popular.
