Hi Everyone

Well we are back! I have had some personal and health things to deal with and also lost a couple friends 2020’s been a Hell of a year and not always in a good way. We were set to celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary then the China Virus kind of stole our thunder. We also lost our friend and former shop manager Ian Rodriguez at the first of October. Our sympathy goes out his friends and family we know he will be missed.

But thanks to all our friends in the Hobby who have done their best to keep us busy and our minds off all the bad of the year, we thank you so much.

So even with all the madness and tragedy of this year. We decided to take time to improve our service. We have put in a new Dyno and have got a couple of the best tuners around. A new alignment rack, a new painter, and a 30 year Hot Rod Veteran refugee from California who wanted to escape the madness. And a new Upholstery dude. And I have even found my way in to the paint booth again after a looong break. We also listened to all the comments about our terrible parking and have redone our parking lot to make parking so much easier.

We have all been missing the things we love to do and the company of our friends so let’s not forget that one of the best Car Shows of the year is upon us this weekend. The 1st Responders Car Show so let’s all go out and show how much we need and support our 1st responders. While we show all the nutballs we are not for defunding our police and 1st responders. They are a valued and loved part of our community.

Since we don’t have a full complement of events this year we will be doing a post weekly or as needed. Again if you have anything you need put up just let me know and we will get er done.  Im not even going to go into all the mask and virus BS you know the drill and do whatever you need to do I am good with whatever.

Thought I would share our buddy Genes truck he has been working on it for a long time in California and wanted it up and running brought it to us and we finished her up and and got him on the road. Enjoy it.

Thanks for everything see you this weekend

Thanks Steve

Hopefully we can start seeing a bit more of this kind of activity. I know we are all chomping at the bit. We cleared everything from the calendar until the 1st of the year and will now start loading up the calendar with all the events that are starting to be reported to us. If you have something coming up let me know and we will post it for you. We don’t care what kind of cars you got or what club you just let us know and we will help you get the word out.

 Thanks Steve

PS Contact info is on the registration form CLICK HERE. Contact me if you have any questions.

After a couple letters I thought I better clarify what I do here. For those that dont understand. We are an information service if you have an event you want displayed here get me all the info at desertcruzin@gmail.com. We are not the people putting on these events we are helping to inform people of the events.

AS FAR AS COVID-19 INFO AND THE IMPACT ON ANY OF THESE EVENTS CONTACT THE EVENT COORDINATOR . IF YOU WANT INFO ON COVID-19 HERE IS THE UTAH.GOV LINK. https://coronavirus.utah.gov/ I MAKE NO RECOMMENDATIONS EITHER WAY MASK, NO MASK USE THE UTAH STATE INFO AND DO WHAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU WHAT IS REQUIRED.

If you want to talk about politics, Covid 19 (china) virus, or why we should wear masks or burn down or destroy our businesses or cities. Go to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter or any other highly intellectual forums and lose your mind there. I have ZERO interest in it here.

This is a service for those of us who love cars, things involving cars, and the people who love their cars. It’s also a place we can go to get away from all that other BS. And see what events are coming up. Most of us have lived a long time and we know what’s going on and our cars are the break from all the crap of the world for a minute or two. And if you are unhappy with the service we provide we will gladly refund your free.

Here is some info sent to me by Ken Kay if it looks like something you would like to do all the info is there.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing well. We have slacked off a bit lately but I think the sooner we get back to normal the better. We are lucky to live here with the benefits of living in a small town.  While the rest of the country loses its mind. It looks like we are starting to have a few events if we find out about any safety rules or anything we will pass them along if not kind of a good rule of thumb keep a mask with you and whatever you require to to feel and be safe.

We have reset the calendar and will start loading with any events we know of and will continue to do so each month until we are back to normal. This weekend we have a few events we are aware of  see below. Lets get out and support all we can and have safe fun. Thanks Steve.

7/18/20  Tam’s Jam Car Show  See the calendar for more info.

7/17/20 to 7/19/20  Brian Head Resort Car Show See the calendar for more info.

Hi everybody Drew Pearce

Calling All Cars!

Another drive-by birthday. This time on the other end of the spectrum. Her name is Taylor, a wonderfully cute, intelligent, and lonely to-be-7-year-old. Please bring a business card or small piece of paper with your Name, Phone Number, and Car Make and Model. Taylor will be drawing from the bucket of cards for the lucky winner of $100 cash! (Cards will be collected at the blue 1978 Cadillac.)Calling All Cars!

The car parade is this Friday, May 29, in Bloomington Hills. We will line up at 7:30 for a drive-by at 7:45. Please meet at the Church near the corner of Hidden Valley Drive and Athena Drive. (From Brigham Road turn south onto Hidden Valley Drive. Athena Drive is the last street on your left.) Hope to see you there! Thanks, Steve, for putting this out there!

Hope everyone is well and not going to stir crazy but if you are on Wednesday. All the car guys care bunch is going to do a little cruise see below. We are open and practicing our social distancing and cleaning procedures at the shop. Remember if you haven’t serviced your car yet or made sure you have your A/C serviced and working right why don’t you do it during the quarantine.  We are even able to totally sanitize the inside of your car if you are concerned about it. If you would like more info about this or any other service just give me a call. Steve 435-313-2200. I took the below info from Kens Atrium site no one says it like Ken.

Thanks Steve

Having a massive “Cabin Fever” attack again yesterday we had to get out of isolation for our daily swing around Southern Utah to keep from going anymore buggie than we already are. Be sure to click right here → http://www.myatrium.com/ to check out our first ever sighting of the illusive St. George Ostrich we have heard stories about since I moved here in 1992 and Linda has lived here since 1973. We were not really prepared for it but thanks to my trusty iPhone I caught a snapshot of her (him?). This was just across the road by the new middle school in the fields. Had it not been for some folks walking there with their crazy Black Lab we may have had time for a few more shots but y’all know Labs.

This is very significant to car people because we were driving at the time—-I think that’s a close enough connection.

Maybe if we are not all ordered to stay in other than emergencies we could maybe take a cruise on Wednesday out through Gunlock and Veyo and back around to Santa Clara without having to get out of our cars and chat, get too close, and do nothing after the cruise. It seems as though “social distancing” is working so I don’t want to be the cause of anything super nuts. How about 1 PM meet in front of Dutchman’s at the corner of Santa Clara Drive and Canyon View Drive – KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. We could shove off at about 1:15 and just take a nice, warm afternoon tottle up through the woods and hills. No need to RSVP or make any big plans. Show up if you are feeling like getting your car out or just spend the day chillin’ around home….All Good!

There is a lot of fun events planned we hope to see you there.

Well everything seems to be cancelled I saw Kens Post and thought I would share to those who may not get it. We hope all this passes soon and non of our friends are effected. In the meantime we will be taking the recommended precautions. But we are still here working. Just give us a call.

Enjoy Kens Post below.

Thanks Steve

Undoubtedly COVID-19 Caused By Trump’s Global Warming

By Ken on Mar 19, 2020 10:59 am

Can’t chat much about cars so I am getting a little more political. For example, if Obama were the President right now and he was doing exactly the same thing Trump is doing the Right wing would be all over him….I apologize in advance for the people I will offend:

Not much to update on anything to do with cars going on anywhere in the whole world….is that crazy or what. I think in my 74 years I have only seen something like this happen on only two other occasions but those were predominantly just here in the U.S. You know what those two other times were. 911 World Trade Center attack and in 1963 when Pres. Kennedy was assassinated.

This too shall pass. Time generally takes the edge off the pain and suffering for most. Right now I am so thankful for all of our citizens who are still working. We have good, clean water to drink, electricity and gas, there are plenty of things to buy to eat (we may not find exactly what we want but we won’t starve). The emergency services and healthcare workers are bravely looking after us, and I believe our government official have our best interest at heart. Yes, I mean from the President down and both parties. If the news would report just the news and not continually raise the ire of blame we would have about everything.

Even we old duffers are getting special shopping times at a bunch of places. Most of the ones I have heard about are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays around 7 AM until about 8.

Maybe since there should be a glut of oil in reserves since few are driving much we may see gas dip below $2 bucks in a month or so….can’t use it but at least that seems cheap.

We can see the entire downtown part of St. George from our house and it is like a ghost town down there. At peak commute time this morning I could only spot 9 cars running around and that’s counting the freeway.

Hang in there.

Babble, Babble, Babble.

I was going to try and change the calendar when I got a request to cancel a show. Then the cancels went nuts SO I WONT BE CHANGING THE CALENDAR . Ken pretty much sums it up below but until further notice I send what is sent to me as I get them. I would say it is safe to say everything is cancelled until further notice. See below.

COVID-19 Scare IS Scary

By Ken on Mar 12, 2020 04:46 pm

According to Shane all Car Guys Car activities are suspended temporarily and probably for the best since we really don’t know what’s going on there. Bill Thomas just informed me the March 28th SunRiver show is cancelled as well. Too many people trying to turn it into some political event and that is just plain wrong to do right now. Kind of like pots and kettles don’t ya think. Just think if all news people would stay out of it for 72 hours and see if Righties & Lefties could do what’s best without the continual MSNBC and FOX types bantering. I switched to CNN (dumb I know) and it was a field day because they seem to think Pres. Trump got real sneaky and stole a bottle of virus stuff from China and sprinkled it around Gov. DeBlasio’s feet.

If all this wasn’t so sad and scary it would be hilarious. Dang if this doesn’t sound like some idiot who won’t go to FaceBook because of all the political prothletising (that’s me, of course).
