Every year in May the Loafer’s Car Club hosts a car show along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi River in Hannibal Missouri. Hannibal is a historic river town famous for being Mark Twain’s home town. Normally the show is held in the historic river front area surrounded by various specialty shops and attractions however due to sidewalk repairs in the area it was moved a few blocks up the hill to a park in down town Hannibal.
Trucks are getting hugely popular these days. Back in their hay day most trucks were worked to death and while many were made then they are a little tougher to find today. So they tend to fetch a premium. Sometimes no restoration is necessary, like in the case of the awesome slammed truck above.

How fast is a modern sports car? How much faster is a F1 car? These questions are answered as GP3 star Alexander Rossi drives the 1967 Lotus 49 and a ZR1 Corvette around The Circuit of The Americas.

Sunday Commentary: Mother’s Day edition
General Discussion, Sunday Commentary week in review
by Jason
Mother’s Day is here which must mean the weather is getting warmer in here in the Midwest. Yeah right, it was 35 degrees last night. That does not mean the hot rods, muscle cars, and classics are not out in full force though. I put a little over 350 miles on my car yesterday in the quest for finding some interesting things to shoot and I was not disappointed. I was able to hit up the Loafer’s Car Club show in Mark Twain’s home town of Hannibal, Missouri to see a nice mix of cars. The weather was pretty good and friends old and new gathered to celebrate the car. It is not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
As you can see from the Ford Mustang above the quality was high at the show. As the week progresses I will have a ton more from the banks of the Mississippi so stay tuned for that. You can of course hit the jump for the week in review, another sneak peak of things to come, and a look at a few other things we have planned for the week.
