What did you see on the road today?


Recommended Posts

"He who snoozes loses" as they used to say. Where are you going to find another one? So, if you can afford it, and it sounds like it's something you would like to have, I agree you should buy it. This looks like it has been very well cared for.

Spotted this very nice Bricklin at the Home Depot last Sunday. I haven’t seen one since the 80s and never one moving under its own power.

Not sold in Canada but not an uncommon site around here considering they were made about an hour from where I live. The body panels were made in my tiny home town. 😉

A Rivian pickup truck parked in our motel parking lot in Gatlinburg, Tn. I guess I need to come out from under the rock I evidently have been living under as I had never heard of before spotting this one. A quick interweb search shows one for sale for $ 112K for this electric truck.

Spent last week out in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota for some fishing and much needed R&R.  Saw quite a few cool rides and rigs out there.  The beautiful 63 T-bird was in Sioux Falls, and the last 2, in need of rescue, were out in the plains.  The Bronco was unbelievably clean.

Those are new and they’re building them right here in Illinois at the old Mitsubishi “Diamond-Star” plant in downstate Normal, IL!  I’ve yet to see one of the trucks like you saw or any of their delivery vans that Amazon is buying yet, but I did catch a glimpse of one of the SUVs that uses the truck platform for the first time while leaving the gym at 12:30am or so last weekend.

What a beautiful car Bruce. I would not walk away from buying that one at a reasonable price.

Finally say a Rivian R1T Truck today, now just waiting to see one of their delivery vans at the local Amazon facility.

They (Rivian) made a post on IG, with a caption that was something to the effect of "Rivian. The greenest thing you'll see all day"...........  :rolleyes:

I doubt that, especially since it was more of a gray than a green😅

Found these not quite on the road. 
 First I found what looks to be an early 50s Plymouth

Right beside it was an old McCormick-deering tractor

but the coolest find was a 1941 Ford f100 with flathead v8 that had a good sized hole in the head right above #5 cylinder.

Saw lots of stuff out & about due to the impending storm. '54 Chevy pickup, couple of midyear Corvettes, etc. Only managed to get a pic of this older Land Rover and a Tesla mobile service van. Have not seen a Tesla service van before!

The SsangYong truck is parked at a salvage lot near where my daughter works.  Badges have been removed, not covered up.  Probably will be crushed soon.  A few years ago I saw one on the freeway a couple of times as I was driving to work
