Met him at the L.A. Auto Show. He was hanging around an insurance company's booth signing autographs. He was totally cool...he had run out of those headshot pictures that famous people carry around to sign, but when he saw that I had my camera, he was like "lets take pictures" (in spanish).

i guess i should go for the "mini-mullet" look.

Todd Wilson · January 17, 2006, 02:10:45 AM

A friend of mine in the Power Wagon world ran into him at a restaurant at a hotel and ended up sitting with him and had supper. Not many people were around and he was really cool to talk with from what my friend told me. Glad to see you guys got to meet him!

How could the guy have an "I'm a star" attitude when he was last on television in 1983.

I heard a few of actors that are like that yet even though they are washed up. Nick Noltie is a prick from what I was told.

73dodge · January 17, 2006, 08:39:55 AM

Nice shirt VG

Hey Ponch did you ask if you could play him in the CHiPs remake?

nh_mopar_fan · January 17, 2006, 10:05:00 AM

"Hey, didn't you used to be Erik Estrada?"

I think he's also pushing some ocean front property in the Ozarks.

Neal_J · January 17, 2006, 03:09:50 PM

Technically, its swampland in Oregon (Anderson Island), Washington (Ocean Shores), California (Lake Shastina and California Pines), Arizona, Arkansas (Hot Springs Village), Colorado (Pagosa Springs), Florida and Tenessessee (Tellico Village). He shills too much real estate and I watch too much late night TV.

Cheers

What ever happened to Ponches partner "John" anyway. Larry just kinda dropped out of the spot light except for the CHiP's remake a few years ago.

Washington too I believe. Is he still doing the Mexican soap operas? I saw him on some soap opera when I went to Puerto Vallarta a long time ago.

I can only imagine how many members have right clicked those pic for future reference.

Gots to love Big E throwing it up for the Wesside though.

i know man...but i figured it was somewhat appropriate since it was a car show and my MOPAR shirts were in the dirty laundry. Some broad was trying to be funny when i was checking out a red 06 Monte Carlo, she kept saying "you need a big '8' on the side" and some other nonsense about being in the pits and not making the chase.

Old Moparz · January 18, 2006, 11:51:04 AM

I wanted to hold back comments until I checked to see if Ponch & Ponch were making some sort of secret, gang related, hand signal gesture. I was worried they might be poking fun at Gringos or something, but I don't see anything obvious. It looks like they were just practicing shadow puppets. Cool pic Mojo.

Hand Sign Meanings:
1. Athens Park Boys
2. Bishop
3. Black Stone
4. Bloods
5. Bounty Hunters
6. Brims
7. Compton crip
8. Crips "Cousin"
9. Crip
10. East
11. F*ck You
12. Harlem Crip
13. Hoover Crip
14. Kitchen Crip
15. Mafia Crip
16. Mafia Crips
17. Number Zero
18. Number One
19. Bloods ( Piru Street Bloods)
20. Power
21. Primo
22. Underground Crip
23. Victory

Ponch ® · January 18, 2006, 01:03:30 PM

the Piru Street Bloods are some bad mofos. I knew a bunch of them back and at least 3 didnt make it to their senior year, if you know what i mean.

Steve P. · January 18, 2006, 03:33:34 PM

A week or two ago VegasMike and some of his workers were doing some electrical repairs at a "C" store in Vegas when one of his guys says, (Hey Mike, that's AIRFORCE AMY).. Mike says, no way...

Well his buddy walks right up to her asking for her autograph. She is more than happy to sign away and asks Mike and his worker for some help moving and says they can take it out in trade.

Well,,,, Mike being the hard working, slave driving, hard ass boss that he is tells her he's sorry, but he can't. As she drives off in her Penske rental truck, Mike is kicking himself in the ass thinking what an ass he is. You see he has a new cell phone and it has a CAMERA IN IT!!!!!

Sometimes it sucks to be the boss...

Ponch ® · January 18, 2006, 03:44:49 PM

dude...i dont blame him...Air Force Amy hit the wall hard a couple of years ago.

he does crash alot, but thats cause he gives it 100% all the time.....and i dont think he has ever come on the radio an said "hey i think im guna crash so i dont get lapped"
sorry , asside from my feelings of jr being an average racer at best , and extremely spoiled. i am brand loyal. cheering for the chebby boys would just be wrong. there are some of them i do like, for who they are and theyre attitudes, but i still prefer to see a dodge win, even if it is in the new "charger"

no, it was the 21st century insurance booth, but there were a couple of CHP officers (not sheriffs!) hanging out.

Interesting. Remember the Sheriff's Dept. pro-mod Camaro sitting next to the display? Musta thrown me off.
