The return of the Grand National Roadster Show is one sure sign that 2022 is destined be a better year for hot rodders than the past couple of trips around the sun. Canceled in 2021 due to California Covid restrictions, the show made a much-heralded comeback for its 72nd installment, reaffirming its place as the first big hot rod happening of the season, with national attention given to the many vehicle debuts and high-caliber award competitions. It was good to have this granddaddy event back!

The timing couldn’t have been better, because 2022 marks the 90th anniversary of the ’32 Ford – the quintessential American hot rod for generations of enthusiasts. This milestone was not lost on the Grand National Roadster Show organizers, who celebrated the Deuce with an exclusive parking area in the outdoor Grand Daddy Drive-In portion of the event. It was the first of what are certain to be many ’32 Ford celebrations happening across the country this year.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Mar. 1, 2022) — Americans battling the polar vortex will soon face a greater enemy—pothole season. A new survey from AAA found that last year 1 in 10 drivers sustained vehicle damage significant enough to warrant a repair after hitting a pothole. With an average price tag of almost $600 per repair, damage caused by potholes cost drivers a staggering $26.5 billion in 2021 alone.

To make matters worse, these same drivers often ended up with an average of two pothole-related repairs signaling that America’s roadways need immediate attention. As states receive an influx of funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, AAA urges government officials and departments of transportation to focus on improving road conditions, prioritizing those areas most in need of repair.

“In many parts of the country, winter roads will likely give way to pothole-laden obstacle courses,” said Greg Brannon, AAA’s director of automotive engineering. “When a vehicle hits a pothole with any kind of force, the tires, wheels and suspension get the brunt of the impact and fixing any of those items is pricey.”
