Ahh... the pastoral birds are chirping and the brooks are a-bubble with freshly thawed dihydrogen monoxide, signaling that it will soon be time once again to pay homage to Mother Nature, The Ultimate MILF® !
Yes friends (in case you had not already marked your calendar), 2011 Earth Week is officially slated to take place April 17-23. And, for the 6th straight year, I will be opening this space for our annual Earth Week Virtual Cruise-In, where Iowahawk readers around our fragile planet gather, share, and celebrate nature's greatest miracle: the internal combustion vehicle. Over the years I have been proud to feature some amazing carbonating machinery, be it land-, water-, or airborne (see, for example, last year's entries).
And now's your chance to participate! But be forewarned - best bring your 'A' game, because there ain't no half-steppin' in CO2 City. If you've got an eye-popping car / truck / motorcycle / motorboat / airplane / intergalactic Vespa Death Star, send a pic and a pithy description via the email link on the left sidebar (please add 'Earth Week Cruise' in the subject line). Starting April 17th I'll start unveiling the entries for the delight of your fellow Earth-lovers. If all goes to plan, there will be a special added Earth Week bonus this year (details soon)!
As for me, I got an early start on Earth Week activism last weekend with my annual sojourn to Austin, Texas for the 10th annual Lone Star Round Up hot rod & kustom festival. Hope these fresh pictures provide some additional eco-inspiration. Excelsior!
