A "Grand" time in Pomona... 2.1.2010 Filed under Events> Coverage ...and big thanks to our friends and colleagues for a fantastic time!
This past weekend, Pike, Swanee and I rolled out to the 61st Grand National Roadster show in Pomona, and had an absolute blast covering the show for MyRideIsMe.com, and visiting with friends old and new, and gathering some amazing stories and history, as well as checking out some incredible machinery.
We strolled the buildings snapping some photos and video, and were treated to some very close looks at a few of the highest quality cars ever created. We'll be posting these stories in the coming days, and hope you'll peek in for more. A quick look back starts here... 61st Grand National Roadster Show...

•Specials and Deals
If you're a long-time visitor to the site, or just know us, then you already know how we enjoy the hell out of saving our clients and friends some cash... simply because we love saving some ourselves! From time to time (usually a few times per month), we'll hide a deal someplace on the site... it might be a freet shirt, a sticker, something from one of our pals in the industry, a break on design work and costs... or even a coupon for the online store!
We had some great response to our 20% off sale during the Holidays, and we have an even BIGGER offer on now through the end of February...
How about a single-view rendering (front 3/4, rear 3/4 or profile view, or ??) at prices we had in 1999?! Get on this quick, as it's first-come, first-served! Sale details here!
The new "Mystery Print Packs":
How cool is this: 8x10-inch prints normally sell here for $12.00/ea. I've decided that a fun way to get more bang for the buck (and handle some Holiday shopping, too!) would be to offer some "package" deals. Amplifying the "fun" part works like this: You buy a "Mystery Print Pack" for $30, and you get two random 8x10 prints, PLUS a special 8x10-inch print (one not normally offered as an 8x10), AND.... how about this: Every fifth pack sold gets a signed, 19x13-inch print (it'll be a cool one) thrown in! There you have it.... You get a print for 1/2 off PLUS a shot at a limited-edition, signed print (could be a $50. bonus!)... make that a one-in-five shot! Check it out here!
...and why not load up on some AMAZING DEALS on books? We have access to the HUGE Amazon.com inventory wih our own shop, tailored to the hot rod and custom car fanatic! Whether you want Motorbooks titles, or even art and design books, we have you covered both on-site, as well as direct on Amazon.com!
