Didn't have time for a picture, but I saw an MRAP on a flat bed semi passing through town today. Looked like it had been rolled and possibly burned in the front. The machine mount was still there but it was beat down and all the doors and windows had been removed.

Pulling into Walmart today. 1965 New Yorker. The photo here was actually taken last fall, but this is the actual car I saw. Though this was the first time I saw it in person since my mom had actually seen it first last fall and took this photo. Real nice car. Never goes to car shows. Only been seen at Walmart. Some old dude was a driving it.

Old Dodge on a Dakota chassis complete with cummins 6.      Goes.like.stink   

Once in a while I get the urge to take time to cruise random alleys to see if there's any potential projects waiting for someone to take interest...

No one was home, though.

As you can see a car this size can be hard to park straight in most parking lots.

This 1974 Triumph Toledo was at the local leisure centre last evening. The original dealer sticker is a nice touch.

Saw this '70 pickup while at the landfill yesterday. As I approached the old gent remarked "No, it's not for sale" I told him I just wanted to compliment him on how nice it was and to ask if he needed help. He told me that he'd bought it new in '69 and it was his baby. Nice truck, owned by a nice old timer.

Wow that gas station really attracts lots of old cars; first a '71 Torino and now a '56 Olds.

It's not too far off the highway,  and there's a massive car show and swap meet this weekend. There a ton of old iron running around where I live and work. Directly behind where I took the photo is a detail shop withba late 60's impala and I believe an late thirties chevrolet. Both derelict. I posted the one on here before.

I'd bet they have gas without alcohol.

A Chevy electric pickup, with So Cal Gas company livery

A new Mercedes Maybach, color like an old Crayola "Flesh" crayon, with a silver top.

White 62 Falcon 4-door sedan.

Absolutely correct. 91 octane non ethanol.

It’s the weather that brings them out.

Saw two Cybertrucks, and Rivan SUV yesterday.

[Perspect Scale Modelworks]

Nothing says class like an old Sentra 🤔

[Falcon Ranchero]

Saw one of the six known 1977-1979 Lincoln Town Cars that live here in town; this one being a dark blue four-door witha white top.

Couple cool cars while I was leaving the swap meet, this barracuda was awesome. The Bonneville clicked all the boxes for me.

Some guy got a cool project. This pulled in at the Sonic up the road from me. No obvious dents or rust which is a good thing about living in central Texas.

Lucky, even a 10 year old non farm truck rust out in the wheel wells and cab corners here in Iowa.

I've been seeing Tesla cybertrucks in different colors lately. There is a gloss black one I see fairly often, must live somewhere close by. While driving around I've seen two others in gloss black, two in flat black, a red one, a dark blue, a light blue, a beige, and most recently a dark purple. Although I liked the red color all of them were still ugly, IMO.
