Being from Southern Indiana, some of that video looked familiar. Where did the Corn Daze Part II trip start and tour too?
Starved Rock, Tremont , IL and Peoria, IL.
How is it that I haven't seen this before? Looks like a great time, despite the apparent lack of sunshine.
It was a great time. Thanks for posting.
I would be interested in future events like this.
Jimmy, where are you located?
thanks for posting Marty, need some sun or at least 55 degrees to take the car out
With the top up it does not have to be warm but the streets need to be salt free, it helps to have roll up windows 
@IaM-Ray I don't enjoy driving with the top plus with real heat and heated seats I can bundle up. As for salt.. meh I can wipe it down once it is on the lift and I'm not too worried about rust.
Powerwashing the bottom is hard as I don't have a drain in my garage. Wish I did.

They outlawed garage drains in my town some time ago. That was way after they outlawed "service pits". You know, you drive your car onto this platform with a slot or pit in the middle so you can get down there to work on the car's undercarriage without benefit of a lift. Used to be a few of them around when I was a kid until there was an oil/gas fire in one (or more) that cooked the mechanic. Plus, you had the occasional mishap when someone drove a car onto the deck wrong and it fell in to the pit.
Hot Rod Ron (the Maple Syrup guy) has one on his farm but it is an open-ended walk out, rather than walk down some steps to get in there, so it's only a little illegal. 
It was there long before Ron bought the farm and back behind the barn so it hasn't caught anyone's attention, yet.
I made an undercarriage washing wand that I believe Ed Erickson got at a Carlisle raffle. It was made of high pressure PVC pipe in the shape of a "T".
Connect it to a garden hose, slide it around under the car on a driveway and it would blast the dust off, then let it air dry.

@Marty Grzynkowicz cool clip and nice flashback with the Styx sound track! 
I thought of making myself an underbody cleaning wand to attach to my powerwasher but then how do you control it.
I can use the quickjack but essentially road grime is ubiquitous and you can't get away from it when you drive your car. The Foose car you can eat off the bottom as it is a museum piece, or an idol, you know the kind that is kept in a Taj Mahal garage and you go bow before your possession.
Thanks Marty, Great to revisit that trip. It was a lot of fun.
Did you see those gas prices towards the end?
Stay well.

Cheers Tom, hope to do some driving with you again, my man.
@Tom Boney I hope you have time to enjoy that car for a time, if and when you sell it.
Thanks, Marty! There were snow flakes in the air this afternoon. I'm ready.

That thing isn't a real car, Ray. Real cars (like our cars) get driven, know the joy of the road, are not perfect, get dirty underneath and may even mark their territory occasionally. 
I know Al, it is a fake car.
So. Much. Fun.
Lots of water down the river since then. Good times.

Vomitorium.
Being a man of my word I was able to get my car out for a quick cruise. Spent about 30 minutes just cruising around and felt normal for just a hot minute.
