On Wednesday night we headed to Van Nuys, California, for the new tradition of the revised cruise night on famous Van Nuys Blvd. It was the first one of the new year, and it was ice cold for So Cal, so the turnout was a little smaller than we’ve seen in the past. Also, the empty dealership lot where the hot rods park has been sold to a new owner. The good news is the owner is looking the other way and allowing the cruise to happen. The bad news is that they won’t turn on the lights, so it’s dark as the inside of a cow.

It was hard to get really great photos in the dark, but we did bring home a gallery of cool cars to see.
