Texas Heatwave 2008

This summer in July Jess and I attended the Custom Sounds Texas Heatwave car show out at the Expo center. We finally got to go this year after missing the last three years. Let me tell ya, Heatwave definitely lives up to its name as Jess and I both got FRIED outside all day. Jess took an instant liking to all the large trucks there and I was impressed that she could practically walk underneath most of them. 

We got to see the tail-end of the burnout contest where the last contestant had a hard time getting the LSD on his Z28 Camaro to spin but on the third try he finally got his tires lit up. Afterwards we checked out his car to find that he had completely shredded one of his tires completely off the rim! 

Later on I convinced Jess to sit inside an audio-demonstration truck from Treo Audio. We were both a little bit hesitant to get inside because as we were waiting to get inside, we could actually see the doors bulging out from the insane amount of bass. We got inside and it was so loud it made our eardrums 

tickle and one of the TV screens inside blew out! Once we received our hearing again, we headed outside to the monster truck show. While we were waiting for that to start, we saw some idiot in his Hummer H3 (the wimpiest of all Hummers) who was probably drunk and/or stupid actually try to drive over all the crushed cars that are set out for the monster trucks. Of course he got high-centered and couldn't get off. He delayed the monster truck show and they had the sheriff come out and give him a 

ticket while a truck tried to pull him off with a tow strap. He was stuck so badly that eventually they had to have one of the big monster trucks come out and pull him and he had screwed up the bottom of his Hummer so bad! By this time, the whole crowd was mad at him and yelling like crazy. It was a sight to see.

Last but not least we headed back inside again to see the hydraulics contest. We saw quite a few cars get above 72 inches but nothing was as amazing as seeing one of the cars almost flip over on the announcer's booth. Everyone was literally diving out of the way of the flying truck! Later on, they brought out a truck on air-bags that could actually flip it onto its side!
