Slow Rider Slam is now my 2nd favorite car show!! It was a great cruise followed by a great campout with friendly neighbors who weren't too NOSEy, car show was meh same as any other car show at least this on had stuff to do besides look at the same cars 12 times! Valve Cover Races, Tire Toss, and Hot Wheels Races for the kids.
Love Bus and Bridgette Chill by the lake.

It looks like you guys had a great time!! Now that I picked up the part for my bug at englishtown this past sunday, I should be back on the road soon...

This was so much fun! If you've ever been bored at a show in a parking lot, go to this show next year... tons of fun stuff to do - valve cover racing, tire toss, kid's hot wheel racing, sumo wrestling, moon bounce, pit beef/pork/turkey, a Bug converted into a Bar-B-Que grill and a huge bonfire... all in a nice grassy field BO**
Jack & I were sure to tell Jim (our host) what a great show and we're hoping to get more SJVWC members there next year!! sjvwc.ico
What Jack didn't tell you about the below... Bambam won for the "Beater" class... ha ha LAUGH@
Their Best of... Awards were unique and super cool... we gotta remember that for Punchbuggy!

That Matt, he was just a little :icon_twisted: on this trip, giving me the horns and whats worst, I went to start my bus Sunday morning and it would not start, the :icon_twisted: was at it again after I went to bed Sat. night. ./// Goes to show how good my ear plugs work.
I know it wasn't just Matt, a few dubious Cads had to be in on it also. So as I'm running my battery down Matt just happens to open my engine door and then he says !5! try it now, then it starts. The things you have to put up with on theses camping trips. @7@
Just remember, what goes around comes around :icon_tongue:
-
OH, Michelle, tell Bud what the Slow Riders where talking about doing with the trophy he made.
-
After I hear that, I will "try" to explain my idea behind what I made. It is more fitting now with all the talk about a "camping club" , bus club and the SJVW club.
Bud
I like it when guys and gals sign their names, Like Brady, Tyler, Sonny etc. It makes me feel like I have known them for awhile. Only my 2CENTS
-
Bud, they were going to use your trophy for one of their better awards but we announced the winner before they could ask us. Good job buddy!

Yes, Taylors right it can be corn-fuse-ing. Thats why I put my name next to my screen name.

It's amazing how little it takes to keep grown men amused. You had to be there to know whats happening. LAUGH@
Tyler, you got some great shots and especially of the fire!!!!! One of the more advanced, profound,discussions of the morning was, what kind of bug this was

I've learned from the best......... how to fix VW's!
Just remember, what goes around comes around :icon_tongue:
I've learned from the best.....
Had a really good time in that show!!! - xcept for the intermission of my sleep due to nearby campers &m&
Weather turned out to be perfect :icon_sunny:, and that show keeps getting bigger and better!
Good to camp out with our club once again, my crew, Jack, Michele, Yucel, Greg and Tyler-Taylor-Paul-John.
Still slowly unpacking :icon_confused: and tried to get Katie to put up her pics on the site, she said she had to first facebook and instant message... but she promised soon. 888
Then there is next year!!!!!!!!!
& thanks for the pics so far! they are great!

(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Skibumtgm/Slowriders%202009/IMG_2006.jpg)
That is a Stinkbug (also known as a Shieldbug).
Wanna find out why they call 'em Stinkbugs? Squish one. But not in your hand...
It's got cyanide in it's "stinky juice" :icon_puke_l:

im going to bus depot just to make him work harder for a joke LAUGH@ LAUGH@ LAUGH@ LAUGH@

Jack - I don't think that was a stink bug... I've seen stink bugs and they don't have the crazy horn on the back like this one. Do we have any bug-o-mologists in this club?? (and not the VW bug kind!)
Matt- don't make Katie feel too bad... we still never posted our pics from Bus Depot... we're the worst about downloading pictures! I probably even have some from Flanders. :blush:
Bud - That's why I changed my screen name... just made more sense..?..
~Michelle
-
I looked at some of the pics on the Samba - nice!!
I forgot to mention about the fire juggling in my first post... who doesn't want to see fire juggling?!? (I'm going to blame Greg's drink concoction for the memory loss). Great fire - especially when they added the engine case to make it burn white. I heard the guy I tried to talk out of jumping the bonfire actually did it later (and survived unharmed, thankfully)
This is definitely a great family event to put on the calendar for next year! BO**
-
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Skibumtgm/Slowriders%202009/IMG_2006.jpg)
NOPE...not a stink bug...any other guesses before I put the answer out?
Even I could take nat geo photos with Tylers camera :icon_tongue:
ps... I will post genus and species and family later tonight...I love all kinds of BUGS LAUGH@
-
Yucel- How about fruit flys LAUGH@
-
hate to get off topic...but fruit flies are the worst. once you get them it is so hard to get rid of them...they reproduce very quickly (a day or two), yet only have a life span of about 10 days and the females lay up to 500 eggs... only way to get rid of them, eliminate food sources
sorry Bud, you might have some friends for awhile.
-Yucel

Sorry for being off topic, Back to the Slam!!!!
I had a great time this weekend with SJVWCC and what a wonderful event it was. Big thanks to the Slowriders Club for hosting such a classy event with so much to do. This event is a must do if you love VW's. I met some awesome people at this event, and I have no doubt I will see them again. I will definatly be going back to this one next year and maybe we might be more competitive in the valve cover racing. drive&&
Nice pics guys, I especially like the group hug photos.
If this event lands on the same weekend as E-town next year its a no brainer.... WE GOTO THE SLAM!!!
I could go on and on...but you just have to look at the pictures to know how great it was!
-Yucel
-
Did anybody check out 90 Volts on Samba? all of the members that went are on his
"bucket list" some good pictures
-
I have no clue what kind of bug it is but i know how to Zap it. Bud if you want to get rid of those flies i would recommend a trip to harbor freight for their electric swatter. may put on quite the light show
-
Thanks Tyler. I have one of those for a few years now. I know some of you will want to hit me for this one (but it works) Red wine in a small dish covered with soapy water, they drown. Sorry to have hijacked this forum.

And the answer is....... The Wheel Bug @7@
Family...Assassin Bug !fright! they live up to their name by slaying other insects, often larger than themselves !fright!
Genus Species = Arilus Cristatus
a note: their defensive bites on humans can be quite excruciating !fright!
-
You left out the good stuff!!
It possesses two scent sacs (red-orange in colour) that can be fired from its anus, usually in reaction to being disturbed. The scent produced by it is not as powerful as that produced by the Stink Bug, but is still strong enough to be detected by human noses.-Wiki
-
Great and we let this thing live. I could of lived a long happy life not knowing any of that. Wish I could go back to thinking wow funny looking bug then someone steps on it and we all joke about who cut the cheese. gifsawsall Now I'm thinking of a black opps bug sneaking into my bus to bite me. So I will go on the record spiders and that guy are on my run the other way list.

EWWWWWWW!!!!
more on wheel bug for those interested
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_bug (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_bug)
Tyler, don't worry theres only like a dozen living under your bus @7@ !fright! @7@ and their bites can even leave a scar !!!!! cool P#3

Now how did you find out what it was ???

I sent 90 Volts post to Jake & Holly and they said the BBQ VW was the best :icon_cheers: And I can't see how my project/trophy could be any better than the others

His site doesn't seem to want to work. Maybe Jack could send it to you, I sent it to him Yesterday and it worked.
Let me know if it doesn't work then I'll try another way.
