Supreme Storage & Warehouse, Erie, PA



Calling All Rodders,

As the season starts to end it is time to be thinking about where to put your special car away for the season. Many of us just don't have the room to store them at home. We need a safe dry place to put them away.

Last Night I had the pleasure of meeting the Owner & Operators of Supreme Storage & Warehouse located at 8251 Hamot Road in Erie, PA. This new facility is one of the largest indoor drive thru climate controlled storage units in town.


Darren Nesselhauf gave me a tour of the facility, and I must say I was pleasingly impressed. Being a car owner himself, he owns a 1962 Thunderbird. Darren knows the importance of have a dry safe place to store your vehicle.


They have 24 hour video surveillance, an on site manager, gated supervised entrance, seasonal and monthly rates available. Many of our local car enthusiasts already have their cars stored there. They have individual locked storage units and multi car gated areas. They have enough room to store one of your cars or twenty.

Conveniently located off Oliver Road near the Erie County Technical School. All Paved roads to the storage facility you will have no worries about driving thru mud and dirt to get your cars in.

They take pride in providing you with the safest and easiest storage around. Take time to drive out and check out this storage facility if you are considering storing your vehicle this year , I convinced you won't be disappointed.

You can contact Darren Nesselhauf at 814-860-8043 or 814-440-2575 for more information.

See ya at the nextcar event!

Thompson Raceway Park Gasser Reunion

Calling All Rodders

Well we took a ride up to Thompson's Raceway park in Thompson Ohio on Saturday.
Even though the weather was a little chilly it was a great day to go to the Drag Races.

We got there around 2 pm and the fun runs had started. After walking around and seeing all the Drag Cars up close we headed to the walk way to watch them line up and stage and then... Race down the track at awesome speeds.


We got to talk to one on the racers. Martin Smith, owner and driver of Space Kadett. Martin took the time to talk with Micki and I about putting together his drag car and even told a little about his awesome paint job which was done at home by him! Then he had the graphics added by pinstripper J Bird! Great guy and he will give you quite a show watching him take it down the strip!,


The big show was to start at 5pm. As the afternoon went on the big black billowing clouds started rolling in. They managed to get a few runs in and then the Chevy Rebellion Wheelie stander preformed!




Next up with his fierce temper Bob Motz's Jet Fuel Semi rolled onto the track. The thumping and pounding started the the fires are lit... the back wall of the drag track explodes in fire... and the he let loose and rolled down the track at an unbelievable time of 6 sec and 201 miles per hour!!! Now that was COOL!!!!

And then the rains came and the show was cancelled until Sunday. Unfortunately we could not go back up today but we will be making plans to attend again soon.

Hope you had a fun day too!

See ya at the next car event!

Matt Lamborn, Pinstriper




Calling All Rodders,
Today I had the pleasure of meeting and following around Matt LamborA Pinstriper at the Glenn christian Church Ox Roast Car Show in Trumball county Fairgrounds Cortland, Ohio.

After talking with Matt only a few minutes, he found out I was interested in the pin striping profession. with this information, he began to show me little tricks of the trade and council me on how to enjoy this type of work. He has been painting signs and pin stripping for 22 years.

He travels around the show with his equipment cart and stops to do on the spot pin striping through out the show. Where ever you see his orange and white checked flag flying you will find him at work turning our cars into wonderful works of art. Just stop by to schedule a time for your car to get done next.




All the while he was working he took the time to explain things to me and answer any silly questions I may have had about pin striping. All without ever missing a beat. A true professional.

I enjoyed my time spent with Matt and want to Thank him for taking the time to encourage me into the the art of pin striping. I am very glad I met you. You are truly a person who cares about his fellow man.

Glenn Christian Church Ox Roast Car Show 2010

Calling All Rodders,





FREE...FREE...FREE...is all I can say about this great show held for the last 15 years at the Trumball County Fair Grounds in Cortland Ohio. This is the first time we have had a chance to get there, and we were not disappointed.

They had about 1000 car at the show. And many more spectators. This group puts on the show and provides the food, the entertainment, the trophies, amusement rides, camping and hook up FREE. A very organized show. I don't know how they do it. All they ask is that you purchase an event shirt. They run from $10-30 for a shirt and the proceeds fund the event.

Even with the cooler fall weather pledging the event this year it was packed and all seem to enjoy themselves. If you have not had a chance to go to this event put it on your list of must do's! We will be back! Thanks guys for a job well done!
