Q:   I see from watching the show that the guys come and go from some type of showroom. I was wondering if that is something people can come look at, because I would love to take a vacation and come see some of those cars. I have a wife and three kids, and we all watch the show and would love to go to that showroom if it's open to the public.
A:   Yes, you are more than welcome to visit us! The second Saturday of each month (from 9 a.m. to noon) we have an open house: we have raffles for wheels, T-shirts and hats, and you can visit with other car people, among other fun stuff. We also have a trophy that is given away for the top hot rod.

If Boyd and I are in town, we are there. A lot of the guys are here working or just saying hi. Please bring the whole family!

Q:   I was wondering, on the race all the way to the Midwest, how did you and Boyd (and the rest of the crew) enjoy the scenery in your road race? What did the whole Coddington crew think of their adventure?
A:   I have to tell you that the five days on the road were the BEST! It was a bit hot and humid, and not having air-conditioning like a normal car took its toll by the end of the day, but I have to say it was a terrific trip: the people, the scenery and the hot-rodding lifestyle. I love it.

We stopped in Gallup, N.M. The crew and Mike won that part of the race. Boyd and I met some firemen at the hotel in Gallup and bummed some shirts, so all I had to do was buy a toothbrush! We were good to go ... I wish we had more time to enjoy being on the road.

Q:   I just wanted to say you guys rock! My husband and I are the parents to an awesome 6-year-old who has Down syndrome. We watch your show all the time, and we noticed you have help in the shop by some adults with Down's or other special needs. How freaking cool is that?
A:   You are one of the few people who can understand what gifts our special-needs employees are! Boyd and I are supporters of Elwyn Inc., an organization that offers workshops and training for people with special needs. Tom has been with us five years and is a ward of the state; he spends a lot of time with us and our family. Christmas is already being planned, and we can't forget birthdays. His is two days after one of our sons', so it is always up at our house.

Scotty has Down's; he loves life but more than that maybe going out to lunch, open houses and birthday parties! He has been with us three years.

Then we have Miss Julie. She has Down's and is my assistant's assistant. She has been here one year. All of us here love our very special employees. Thank you for your kind words. I hope to meet your special one soon!
