    Last car show of the summer brings out all the cool cars

    by Aaron Storms

    I always look forward to the first Saturday of the month in the summer so that I can drive down the hill and check out all the cool cars and trucks that attend from all over the Denver metro area. Sadly, this was bittersweet this time as it is the last one for the season, just barely beating the snow storm that rolled through the area Sunday night. (more…)

Disastrously, it careens over the edge, rolls, and crashes into a car driven by a school administrator. After a few moments of silent shock, the grim reality becomes apparent that six lives have been forever changed by a split-second reckless decision. (more…)

    By Randy Beaudette

At the Hot Rod Hill Climb in Central City last weekend, an interesting truck with no paint caught my eye, and here’s the background story as relayed by Carlos and JC Navarro. (more…)
