Hey wrong thread. 😜  Crotch rocket Donorcycles on AZ69 are abusing the lane splitting law, and doing 80 sometimes.

Club cruise night last week.

Pt Reyes Station is a great place for car watching, especially on a weekend.  Saw this a couple of years back about a block away from your photo location.  Not a garage queen, had "The Club" on the steering wheel and the dash board was comprehensively weatherchecked.  But what would a resto cost for a Gullwing?

Now that's a cool roadside sighting. The 'Club' and the weather-checked dash are icing on the cake. Forget the resto; it's much more cool in it's present condition. Bring the maintenance up to date, check the tires, fill the tank, and hit the road.

Yup, a typo. The plate even says that it is a '62.

Didn't I see that you have to post pictures, or you didn't see it? 😉

Last century when I had a '57 Chevy station wagon, I met this guy with that '57 4 door Hardtop.  At the time he was trying a turbo.  I'm sure it's him, but was driving Stealth.

Followed a Plymouth Duster with 340 badges in metallic blue. Nose down stance with massive rears and a throaty rumble. Also a Toyota FJ Cruiser in orange. Never knew they existed.

Rare beasts in the middle of York!

I was too busy dodging all these idiots to take pictures, plus breaking out the cell phone camera at 80mph on a freeway full of people demonstrating their deficient driving skills ain't particularly safe!...😉🙂😉

saw this on my way home from work.  but is it real?

Looks real to me, but what do I know about fake cars. 😏  Also dodgy to take pictures while driving, I never do that. 🙄  This is my on-the-road shot for tonight, the beginning of White Spar, I'm doing about 2 MPH, not twice the posted suggestion on the corner signs.

Earlier today, outside a mechanic's shop sat this C-10, been in the family forever, he has it with a built engine.  So I'll *have to* show him my Green Barge.

Some left turn red lights are forever, so it's a great time spender.  My first traffic light from home is a stupid "smart" light, many times I sit there with no traffic coming my way, both directions, then when a platoon gets close, the first cars run the red light.

Bosa Donuts P.V. cruise, for some reason a bunch of Fords congregated.

This C-10 Survivor has only FIVE THOUSAND+ miles, no rust anywhere, even behind the bumpers.  The owner hunts down estate sales, to beat the used car dealers.

Some more from today.  Last century when I was going to college, carpooled with a guy who had exactly this, same color, to go ski at Snowbowl.  Cold as you know what, he was switching the heat lever back and forth.  I remember the ride more than the day of skiing.

Love the bumpers.

Not on the road, but on line. Apparently this was a thing in 1977 at New Smyrna Beach, Fl. This would make an interesting build.image.jpeg.887d20c6e2bddff4a743de939cdfb373.jpeg

thats a massive light almost sitting on top of the roof but it looks to be half floating
