Jumped out and just stepped on a cleat to lift himself back up to the cab. Wish I had a pic. Google "bigfoot tire walk" ?
Daddyfink Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 At the Home Depot and it looked the original owner behind the wheel!
Dave Ambrose Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 This weekend, my wife and I were driving south on the Pacific Coast Highway, south of Cardiff. We encountered a motorcycle club driving north. That wouldn’t be unusual, except these people were riding Vespas instead of Harleys.

Reminds me of the time I saw a biker club going down Market St in San Francisco, in February, every man jack of them wearing kilts. Brrrr
TarheelRick Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Stopped in the local gas station the other day to fill up my ranger and this was just pulling away from the other side pump. BTW there was a Ford 350 pulling the trailer, guess he wanted to make sure to get it home. Edited July 15, 2020 by TarheelRick
landman Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Not exactly on the road, but around the corner from here. A Lincoln Town Car and its grandparents

BlackSheep214 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) No pics because I happened to see something I recognized from a distance on the highway. I knew it was a mid 50s station wagon and a Chevy. I wasn’t sure if it was a ‘55, ‘56, or ‘57. Told the missus hold tight cuz I gotta see what car that is. I sped up just enough to get a positive ID. Sure enough, it was ‘57 Chevy Nomad. I have never seen one up close or on the highway in all my years of driving. As I passed him, I gave the driver of the Nomad a thumbs up and he smiled and waved. This happened a couple days ago. Edited July 19, 2020 by BlackSheep214

Saw this yesterday while shopping. Kinda cool, mabey they should have done a factory job for the mini pickup crowd. Jeff Plenty of room in the back for groceries!

Tom Geiger Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) No pix... last night my wife and I were headed home from my daughter’s house in NJ to our home in PA.. easy ride of NJ Turnpike to PA Turnpike until.. once in PA the Turnpike shut down at midnight for construction and they pushed all traffic off to Route 95 through Philadelphia. About same distance and time, especially at 12-1am.. but.. Philly news always has news coverage of street racing mishaps with huge accidents of cars that disintegrated at high speed but I had never witnessed it. So here we are on a populated highway going maybe 75 and suddenly the car gets rocked by a Dodge Charger flying by at 100, with a Mustang GT right on its tail. This happened at least five times.. mainly Dodge Chargers or Challengers, one Camaro and a handful of tuners within inches of our car. Quickly changing lanes with zero clearance. Dangerous stuff!

I have seen that too, around that area at about that same time. Cars and motorcycles. They don't have much regard for "civilians" and there didn't seem to be much, if any police presence either.
sfhess Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Wow Tom. Sounds like the LA freeways just about any time of the day. Edited July 20, 2020 by sfhess
carnut Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 At my local grocery store, I have seen and talked to the owner before. He is a young man in his late 20’s and the Chevy is his. He works at the store.
OldNYJim Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Nice 4 door! Looks clean too! A few that caught my eye in the neighborhood this week:
The Junkman Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) "Where were you in '62?" These are actually my neighbor's vehicles. He's the kind of guy who you'd WANT to buy a car from. He's restored at least 10-15 cars that I know of, including the scoot and the Ranchero. The scoot is for sale if you'rr interested. Note: 98% of his business is insurance and he's VERY picky regarding bail bonds. Edited July 25, 2020 by The Junkman
Brudda Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 My buddy Mark picked me up to go to Lake Tahoe. We had lunch with a friend. Great day. A FIA cobra.
