The 2011 Greaserama had it all - Freaky cars, freaky folks, and freaky fun. 722 pictures of double coverage from the Boulevard Drive-In

If you like your music angry, your women tattooed, and your beer, uh, Pabst, you belonged at the 2011 Greaserama car show at the Boulevard Drive-In in Kansas City, Kan. Sure, there were a bunch of--how can I put it delicately--freaks there. But they were nice freaks, and certainly seemed to know how to have a good time.

Of course, I've been there several years in a row, and as it turns out, I know a lot of people there, so perhaps I'm a bit of a freak myself.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? How about Chevy Camaro and the Deadly Stallion?

In case you hadn’t heard, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, is making a big splash in theatres right now. And I’ll be honest; I don’t know much about Harry Potter. When I see the previews to those movies, I never see any neat cars or anything that really gets me too excited. But the more I find out about these movies, the more I’ve determined that the whole thing is just a rip-off of the history of the Camaro.

Let’s look at the facts. The Camaro was a sporty car that emerged in no small part to the demise of the Chevy Corvair. Dark forces conspired to kill the Corvair, but they were unable to squelch the magic of the Camaro. In the movies, Harry Potter’s parents were killed by evil forces, while Harry went on to bigger and better things.

2010 Greaserama Car Show was the polar opposite of the mainstream car show across town, and all the more fun for it

Labor Day weekend brings two pretty big car shows to the Kansas City area. The Goodguys Mid-Western Nationals at Kansas Speedway is the one everyone hears about, but there is another less-publicized gathering that's gaining some big traction.

The Greaserama Car Show is sort of the "anti-Goodguys" event. Instead of the shiny chrome and liquid-perfect paint that you would expect to see out at Kansas Speedway, there is more of a concentration of rust, primer, and, for lack of a better term, patina. One of the rules printed on the flyer is, "no billet crap."
