Grey Eagle Casino Wild Wednesday

  It's official! The car show season has officially started here in Calgary. Wednesday May 7th was the first of many Wild Wednesdays at the Grey Eagle Casino. Everything and anyone is invited. This always make for some good variety. 

  The first car on the list is this fine looking De Tomaso Panterea. What a great looking ride. The Pantera was around from 1971-1991. With 330 hp and a top speed of 159 mph (256 km/h) it's not the fastest but definitely one of the coolest cars of its time. I'd gladly take one.





  Next up we have a brand new 2014 Corvette Stingray. When I first started seeing pictures of this car I wasn't overly impressed. I've never been that "into" Corvettes. But seeing these things in person has totally changed my mind. I am in love with this thing. Pictures don't do this car justice. Everyone I've talked to who owns one can't stop talking about how amazing they are either. Can't wait till I get the chance to try one out myself.
  With a max of 460 hp and a 3.8 second 0-60 this Corvette is near the top of my cars of 2014 list.

  Ah yes. Now we can't forget about this perfectly done Ford Bronco. I have always loved the Bronco. It's the coolest truck every put into production. 
  Scrolling though the web the other day I came across a 2016 Ford bronco SVT concept. Now Ford might be on the right track bringing this bad boy back. I'd be interested in one thats for sure.




  Last we have my favorite car that showed up. This Saleen supercharged Mustang. When this beast rolled in it caught everyone's attention. All blacked out, very mean looking with a great sounding exhaust that wasn't to loud or to quiet. It was just perfect.






  It was a great start to the Wild Wednesday meets. Lots of cars and some great people. Can't wait till next week. Here are a few more shots of some other beauties that showed up.
