My husband works for a small towing company here in Chesapeake and this past Sunday his boss took our family to a Tow Truck Show in Baltimore. My husband and I really have a passion for cars but especially trucks of all kinds (especially really large trucks...my dream truck is a GMC C4500 or C5500... Black with a regular bed on it!! If you have watched the movie Transformers, then you have seen my truck!! I am sooooo in love!! But anyway...)
Just wanted to share some pics from the show. I know if you are reading this your probably thinking 'who cares about tow trucks' but they have contests for people that jazz up their trucks and that was really neat!!
I don't know if anyone has ever watched "Trick My Truck" on I think it is CMT, anyway a while back they tricked a huge heavy duty tow truck and named it "Lifeline". Well that truck was at the show.

I particularly liked this one. It had a deceptacon theme to it.

Here's another heavy duty towing and recovery truck that had The Incredibles as their theme. This is just one side, some of the other sides had pictures of other characters from the movie.

This was probably one of our faves at the show.

This is the same truck as in the previous pic, this pic shows how this tow truck had the Lamborghini doors on it. Very cool!!

This was one of my son's favorites at the show. He loves the movie "Cars" (so does my husband BTW LOL!!).

This was an entry into the classic cars contest. It is a classic Mac tow truck. From what I hear, when this truck is on and the driver applies the brake lights the dog's eyes glow red.

Here's another heavier duty that was one of my faves. This one wasn't in the contests, I believe this was on the for sale side.

And these last two pics are just a couple of my kids while we were there.

Thanks for looking. There were a ton of trucks there(my pics are only a tiny portion of them), and we had a good time. I would have taken a lot more pics (and better ones) but after being in the car for about 4 hours and then walking from the hotel to the show through Baltimore (trying to get around all the people going to the Ravens-Browns game that was playing that same afternoon), my son started not listening and was wanting to "play". Not a very good thing around all these beautiful trucks!! LOL.
