Started in 1996, this annual event focuses on custom cars and the men and women who create them, and it's done nothing except grow in size and scope since its first year. Gearheads from all walks of life make appearances and show off their handiwork, from hot rods and tricked-out trucks to bodacious bikes and boats. In addition, there are special appearances by guitar-heavy rock bands. As well as being great fun for participants, the event benefits local charities.
