Sunday: Cars and crabs…a great day!

Sunday is one of my favorite days off.  It’s the day I get to do what I like to do. At least once or twice a month I like to eat at  my favorite sea food restaurant, The Crab Cooker. The Crab Cooker is one of the best places in So Cal, and it’s not too far from where I live. The Crab Cooker has been around for many years, if you’re ever in So Cal and looking for seafood, check this place out. You can see the menu here http://TheCrabCooker.com

The original Crab Cooker is located in Newport Beach.   The one I go to is in Tustin, which is only about a 30-minute drive (it’s not as crowded as the one in Newport).

You can spend hours looking at all the cool stuff on the walls in the restaurant.  There are lots of neat old pictures and some really cool mounted fish on display.

They even have Jaws in the center of the restaurant.  I wonder how he tasted?

One of the best selections is their giant Alaskan King Crab legs, and I always get a small bowl of clam chowder.

   How lucky are we?, There was a car show in the parking lot when we arrived. After lunch we walked around the car show and checked out some very cool cars.

There were a lot of Cadillacs and Lincolns. This is one of my favorite cars, a 1953 Cadillac El Dorado Convertible

Boy, this was a big car…check out the chrome on this baby.  You don’t see much chrome on today’s cars. This is all you need in a car, a gas pedal, a brake pedal, and a radio.  There’s nothing else to focus on while driving.

Here’s a 1934 Ford pickup. This little pickup was like brand new.

Here’s an old Plymouth Woody. I didn’t catch the year, but I’m guessing it’s around a 1947. This is what people want.  The patina look is the cool thing now.

Here’s a 1951 Chevy Sedan Delivery…

…and here’s a 1957 Chevy convertible.

It was a great weekend and now we’re back at the CSC plant.   It’s going to be a busy week.  We’re prepping the new SG250 San Gabriel motorcycles for delivery to our customers who pre-ordered one.  TT250 and Rx3 sales continue to be strong.   Just think:  The bikes you are buying today are tomorrow’s classics, just like the cars you see above.
