What did you see on the road today?

[Rodent]

Mother in law and stepfather in law moved to Prescott from SoCal in 1992. He died in 1999, she lived there until 2012 when her health got so bad that she moved here. She died in late 2012. Spent plenty of time there, including trips to Jerome.

A tesla may be cool in some neighborhoods, but in mine, you need this to get any street cred in a hybrid. ?

Less than 4,000 BMW I8's sold world wide!  Stunning car!

Snow plows and salt brine trucks here in the last few days with the lovely snow:-(

Spotted this Studebaker just now.

Cool looking truck, but the bed looks wrong.

It is. Studebaker got the tooling from Dodge to make the Spaceside beds instead of tooling their own.

That Champ is very nice!  Those puppies rusted like crazy.  I had a '63 Lark that was so rusty I still shiver to think about it!

I think part of the problem was that the shade of red varied between the cab and bed.

You can definitely tell the bed is made by Dodge.

No pics since I was on the road as a courier. I saw this Dodge sedan with a Mad Max style full bumper push bar attached to it. The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen....

[Rodent]

Walking back from the grocery store last evening, I saw a pretty nice Cameo. Non-factory grey with the white accent, lowered a bit with aftermarket wheels. There is a classic Chevy parts place in the nearby industrial area, so he may have been coming from there. No pics, I had a grocery bag in each hand.....

Caravan of 16 Beetles, a dune buggy, a Type 3 fastback, and a Golf VII. No pictures, sorry. They were kind of blended into traffic. I only figured out how many there were because I passed them all, but got in a left turn lane and they passed me before I got the green. I had forgotten how attractive the Type 3 really was.

They were headed toward Old Town Folsom, I don't know if there was an impromptu show going on or what....

Saturday:  A caravan of Healeys:  Bugeye Sprite, Jensen Healey and a 100-6.
Aston Martin DBX.
65 Pontiac Grand Prix.

[Rocking Rodney Rat]

A "chrome plated" Rolls Royce.??

 

[Tom Geiger]

My crazy cousin is headed across the Mohave Desert on motorcycle with two friends.  He posted this photo.  I believe it's a 1962ish Chrysler ?

You get to see the coolest stuff! (but never have any pics....... )

Just kidding. SoCal has always been and always will be the hot bed for anything automotive. I look at Craigslist in LA often for that very reason........

I know, it's embarrassing. I have seen a few donked Rolls and Bentleys.....local sports figures, most likely. 

[Tom Geiger]

My cousin is now in Death Valley near Teakettle Junction. Today’s photo from him.

My main focus when behind the wheel is driving.  Besides it is difficult to transfer photos from my phone to computer.

I have a Google phone and my pictures appear in Google Photos very soon after I take them.

The easiest way to get a photo from your phone to your computer is to email it to yourself. I do it all the time

I really wish I lived in SoCal, you can find pretty much anything automotive there..... Very much jealous!
