[jbwelda]

as I mentioned, a trip over to my friends garage, greeted by a black Camaro winking at you:

 

nice Toyota land cruiser FJ40, again I am jealous:

 

and just a look around:

 

ratty Raunchero out in a parking lot:

 

couple of beautiful Austin Healys, we may have seen one of these before:

 

a look inside the shop, looks like an old jaguar, a triumph tr4 and an MGB or Midget:

 

derelict oldsmobile and caddy:

 

VW Type 181 aka The Thing:

 

kustom transporter:

 

T Bird, I believe that would be a 58, outside a place that fits so perfectly. photo of the day if not car of the day:

 

finally, on the road home, spy a chrome bumper MGBGT, best I could do was a butt shot:

 

there is always tomorrow, until there isn't.

Saw this little hot rod, a 32 Vicky.

[jbwelda]

another benz shooting brake, I love these cars, great classic lines, understated looking and more than capable mechanically. actually I never knew MB made so many wagon styles before I moved here, but there is one around every corner here, not all new either, some quite classic

 

not even sure what this is, but faintly looks like a rolls Royce badge on the back, probably more like a Chrysler though

 

this one is definitely a Roller, possibly even brand smacking new. very Jaguar looking:

 

then this brand new benz shooting brake pulled up next to it. this is one awesome car, look at those exhaust pipes!

 

a look inside the garage reveals a lot of kool stuff:

 

finally, an older gentleman driving a ratty but sweet vw cabriolet, he said he had it since 1972, I didn't catch what year the car is, 65 maybe? he said yeah, he gets asked if he wants to sell it all the time.

That Chrysler is a 1936-or-similar Airflow. I always loved the grille on em.

The thing below it is actually a Bentley, a Continental, somewhere around 2002.


I didn't see anything on the road today. However, two days ago when I was on my lunch break coming back from Rite Aid, I saw a blue Audi 80 sedan! 

[Agent G]

One for Danno.

1921 Stutz.

 

[cobraman]

That is one fine looking fire truck.

[Foxer]

kind of busy day today, starting with something I never really knew existed, a Porsche 968, cousin or descendent of the 944:

kind of nice looking, sort of like a Nissan 180SX:

 

 

jb

 

 

That IS a 968 Vert .. completely stock. The 968 was the 944 replacement. After five 924/944's I tried to find a 968, to no avail .. there weren't many made.

[Agent G]

It sits in the lobby of the Lemay Car Museum in Tacoma. A beautiful truck it is.

[RancheroSteve]

That sad Ranchero (seen here a week or so back) still hasn't moved and is now attracting commentary:

[jbwelda]

forgot one from yesterday: a beat bron-cho in for restoration possibly:

 

jb

 

[chunkypeanutbutter]

Man, rent a ramp truck, pull up to that Ranchero on a quiet night...

[om617]

 

derelict oldsmobile and caddy:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh i love the Olds. Could you throw it in a box and ship it over?

um a shooting brake is classified as a 2door 4seater wagon/aeroback, IF it has 4doors then its a wagon!

 

The thing below it is actually a Bentley, a Continental, somewhere around 2002.

From Wikipedia:

"Shooting-brake is a car body style that has evolved through several distinct meanings over its history.

Shooting-brake originated as an early 19th century British term^[1] for a vehicle used to carry shooting parties^[2] with their equipment and game. The term brake^[3] was initially a chassis used to break in horses — and was subsequently used to describe a motorized vehicle.

The term was later applied to custom-built wagons by high-end coachbuilders and subsequently became synonymous withstation wagon or estate.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}

In contemporary usage, the term shooting-brake has broadened to include a range of vehicles from five-door station wagons — to three-door models combining features of a wagon and a coupé."

there is many examples, Ferrari 456 shooting brake, countless of Aston's Bentleys and a few Porsches, all 3door wagons. One of the best examples Aston martin db5 shooting brake, and according to Brits its a 3door wagon is a shooting brake, and is WIKI is never fully accurate. Just saying.

A single-car crash being cleared. Light traffic, clear weather, 4-lane divided highway, good road.

Late-model SUV, rolled multiple times and not readily identifiable. And pointed in the wrong direction.

Two ambulances on the scene not seeming to be in any particular hurry; you know what that usually means.

And a kids big brown teddy-bear lying on the pavement next to the vehicle.

Please pay attention. Don't text and drive. Wear your belts. Use good child-seats.

A really nice Little Red Truck, '67 Camaro SS, and equally nice XK120!

Also discover that Nissan made a Flex Fuel Titan until today, one when filling my 200.

 

 

 

[rusty85]

This old Dodge was for sale on a farm near Bethesda, PA.

 

Classic Good Humor truck outside the Pennsylvania Rail Road Museum.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Great looking old trucks, Ross. The Dodge wrecker is about a '33 I believe. Love your tag lines too. My sentiments, exactly.

[SSNJim]

I watched a 71/72 Chevelle SS convertible nearly get centerpunched by a new F-150 after the Chevelle pulled out and turned right in front of the truck. No harm done, lots of honking and presumably birds flying.

[jefropas]

I pulled over a brand new Porsche 918 today for speeding...I think I drooled on his car....

[Tom Geiger]

Did he get a ticket or a cool car warning?
