I'm probably late to the game but I finally saw one of the electric Hummers in the wild today.  Just like this one-same color and ride height.

Overall impression: big, like in really big.  Great for compensating for what you may be lacking.

Blimey, that’s ugly!

Grand Junction CO,  Colorado Grand. Running an XK140. Fun times, 1100 mi in 4 days, tried for 2y to get in. Speedster with rare hardtop, DB4 Zagato, LWB Cal spider, XKSS, all rare pre-‘60. In rain

@drodg Couple more. Speedster with Rudges and the factory hardtop again. 
Coupes are real Carreras. Lots of pre-A’s, Outlaws. One 2.6 outlaw was ridiculously fast. T4 motor.

I'm not going to find fault in that opinion.  Honestly, I'm at a loss as to what purpose it serves.  There are better ways to move 5 people around and a lot of vehicles that people won't stare and point at.

My son sent this pic. He works at a wine shop in Minn. He said the owner stores cars for people sometime. There was a Mystery Machine painted Econoline, but this one really got my attention.

I would have gotten a picture in it. But that is me.

Yes that is a full nose if a Chevy school bus. It’s in Ron’s Original Tavern in Exton, PA where we go often.  Place was originally called Ron’s School House..  and the bus, as well as their “School Night Specials” menu survived.

It’s fun when a newbie asks where the restroom is.. “Go down this hall and make a left at the school bus”

And I spent a week in Des Moines.. have an office there too!

They were off to the Super Sausage roadside cafe on the A5 for a breakfast and meet-up with a few more!

You should build a model of this. That rear tire looks wide enough that you wouldn't need a kick stand when you park it.

That is cool looking. Not seen anything like that around here. Mostly "Hoggs" or "Crotch Rockets".

It was yesterday, but here's a 1924 Buffalo hose truck.  I talked to the driver at a stop light.  It now belongs to a local transportation museum but was originally in service in the FD of a small local community.

Another couple of them. The craze is Japanese where they are a very economic way to get about..
