Anyone who knows me, or has read my bio, should know that I love hot rods. Make those hot rods trucks, and I'm in heaven.

Every year I attend the Mooneye's Xmas Party and Hot Rod Show at the Toyota Motor Speedway in Irwindale, Calif. This year, I thought I'd share some of the fun photos of the trucks I saw as I walked around. If you have any more details on the vehicles, please share!

Check out the photo gallery here! (My favorite is the tow truck).

Let me know what you think! Do you have any favorites?
