2014 Southeastern Truck Nationals proves that nice trucks are all over America

One of the events that I knew I was really going to miss when I moved from Kansas City to Nashville was the Midwest All-Truck Nationals. As an old truck owner, I always enjoyed the all-truck format, and the people that own old trucks tend to be fun to hang out with. My fears were put to rest this weekend when I drove my old heap to White House, Tenn., for the Southeastern Truck Nationals. This all-General Motors event had a lot of what I liked about the KC show, and I got to see a bunch of new (to me) trucks at a very nice city park. The skies were a little overcast, but that didn’t keep 85 trucks from making the show.

The top ten most popular stories on Hover Motor Company for 2013

As 2013 comes to a close, it’s time for the annual look at the top ten most popular stories of the year here on Hover Motor Company according to Google Analytics.  I actually went to nearly 100 events this year, so the ones that turn up on here were especially popular.  I was also happy to see that one of my history pieces turned up on the list.  And for our new car fans, an auto review even cracked the top ten.  I had a great time putting all of these stories together, and the numbers show that you guys are really supporting the site.  Thanks for everything you do, and I hope you stay with us in 2014.

Cars invade the All-Truck Nationals Welcome Cruise

The Midwest All-Truck Nationals took place on Saturday and Sunday at the E.H. Young Riverfront Park in Riverside, Mo., but the festivities actually started Friday night with a kickoff cruise for both cars and trucks.  This was a nice little gathering, with live music, a laid-back atmosphere, and a handful of interesting cars and trucks.  Sure, it was a little warm.  But that never stops the car kooks from getting together.

From brawn to beauty, the Midwest All-Truck Nationals hauls into Riverside

As the owner of an old truck, I always look forward to the Midwest All-Truck Nationals, which made its annual stop at the E.H. Young Riverfront Park in Riverside, Mo., over the weekend.  This event is hosted by the Genuine Chevy/GMC Truck Club of Kansas City.  How seriously do I take this show?  Well, I usually take my truck to a real car wash and blast it with a high-pressure wand instead of just hosing it off in the driveway, and I climb into the bed and sweep it out with a broom.  So yeah, it’s a pretty big deal.

2012 Midwest All-Truck Nationals is the place where truck owners come together

If you own a Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Thunderbird, or Chevelle, there is a big, model-specific car show in Kansas City just for you. Now, I don’t own a Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Thunderbird, or Chevelle. I have an old truck. Not even a pretty old truck. So the chances of me hitting a show that I would fit in at are few-and-far between.
