10 Nissan Cube(s) Stack into Scottsdale Car Show
April 29, 2009 by pikesan · 3 Comments
Someone asked me, “How’d you get 10 Nissan Cubes?” I said, “Well I broke the first Cube 9 times.” Figuring I didn’t answer his question, I continued… “I asked and they said yes!”
They is Nissan and they’ve got 10 Nissan Cubes being prepped for release to the media for evaluation, write-ups and sometimes criticism. That’s what the consumers read in print and online magazines like MyRideisMe.com.
For those of you lucky enough to live in Arizona, you’ll get a sneak peak of the new Nissan Cube. And.. if you haven’t seen one in person, check out the Nissan GT-R.
Except for inside national super-shows like the Los Angeles Auto Show where the Cube first occupied equal space on all side 6 sides last year in November, this is the first time the geometric, love-hate styled Econo-box (couldn’t resist) has been seen in the wild with other shapes.
Where: Scottsdale Pavilion at Indian Bend and 101
When: 4:30 to 9 PM on May 2nd, 2009 (This is a one-time only deal!)
What: 10 Pre-release, totally new Nissan Cubes, plus 1 rockin, bad-to-the-bone Nissan GT-R!
Since I haven’t driven it yet, I’ll have to let you know what I think, but I can tell you there’s a handful of creative features in the Cube not found in other Nissan. I especially dig the kooky, ripple-waved head liner. The mood lighting and accents are covered at length by everyone already, so I won’t go there.
Let me have my drive of the Moss Green 1.8L SL with all the “Sport” goodies and tell you what I think, what others, customers and non-customers think about and then you can love it or hate it for yourself. For my review, I’ll give you nothing but the oppisite over the adjacent side for this Cube and not go on a tangent.
Fine, criticize my writing… do you know Thesaurus.com has no words with similar meaning to geometric?
4th Saturday Cruise in Mesa is Catching on

Just a reminder! The regular Mesa Cruise is the 4th Saturday of every month including this Saturday, March 28th. This is one of the cool shots my man Swanee took at the cruise that followed the Home Runs and Hot Rods show. I left out the “Hot Dogs” part cause Lance didn’t save me one.
More of Swanee’s pics of the Saturday Mesa Cruise here.
MyRideisMe.com members get free entry and free parking at the cruise. Such a deal!
Northwest Side Cruise-in: Peoria, AZ’s Saturday Night
May 12, 2008 by pikesan · 9 Comments
A short 55 miles away from my house in Chandler, AZ, I met up with AzAmber, at the Saturday night 83rd Ave and Beardsley cruise-in. What a great show! I took off Saturday and stopped by Industrial Chassis, then hit the Safeway parking lot at about 6PM. There weren’t many spots left!
The show was a nice mix of cars. You had your hot rods, street machines and even a few exotics, but there were also a couple low riders mixed in with the new factory muscle. Something for everyone!
I handed out every card I had that night to a warm group of people saying I’d write a blog about it, so here it is. I won’t feature the cars I saw in this blog, but they’re coming! (Leave a comment if you see your car!) Here’s the sneak peak:
That nasty looking 1954 Studebaker’s running a former NHRA Top Alcohol dragster engine! Watch for a feature story on that one! The pretty Jag’s for sale and will be show at the Brighton Ranch Paint and Body show coming up next weekend 5/17/08. Look at their website for more details. I’ve got more details on that GT-40 too.
If you get a chance, stop by the show. It’s a laid back atmosphere, there’s plenty of places to eat near by and everyone I talked to was really cool. Now, if just a few of you would join My Ride is Me! All pics from the 5/10/08 Saturday to be loaded soon…

Friday Night Cruise-in – Chandler, AZ
May 6, 2008 by pikesan · 4 Comments
It takes a while for a cruise in to catch on, but that doesn’t mean while it’s growing you won’t see some super nice cars. Plus, when it’s new, you won’t hear the old… “Hey, I’m saving that spot…” or “This is for XYZ cars only…” Whatever.
So here’s a few of the cars I’ve spotted at the Friday night cruise-in at Arizona Ave. and Ocotillo. It gets started at about 6PM or so and runs until about 9:00. I think it’s sponsored by the Checker Auto nearby, so they supply a DJ and once a month there’s a bouncer for the kids.
I’d have a few more pics if I could ever get there earlier! Me (aka shaky) and poor lighting don’t get along well at all.
What I should be sharing with all these pics is who owns the cars and where there from… or something interesting like how the car is completely homebuilt with only a screwdriver and duct tape.
Too bad I can’t read my able assistants hand writing is so hard to readl!
I hope to see you down there. Make sure when you see your ride here, join up with the other AZ hot rodders already members here at MyRideisMe.com. It’s all free and we’ve got enough parking for everyone!
