This was not on any road, can't imagine crashing into the 100 ton Chevy pickup. ?  This is in Prescott Valley, AZ.

Saw a derelict looking Mercury Zephyr 4dr at an intersection...looked like it had been painted matte black w/ rattle cans..chrome trim, bumpers, etc all black.  Haven't seen a Zephyr or Fairmont in what feels like decades...

Beautiful day here on the east coast of Florida, as usual lots of good stuff out running around. Only was able to get pics of these two.

Sure won't lose that in a parking lot.

Saw this '79 F150 out behind a local Ford dealership today.  And, while way back in September, this van who's owner has a good sense of humor.

Came upon this while out riding a few days ago:

Photo shoot, of course - just another February day in Los Angeles.

Saw a load of Teslas at a truck stop near Abilene, Texas. The truck bodies' stainless is multicolored like they weathered by a military modeler.

While I see the irony, there currently aren't any viable fully electric tractors for this type of hauling.  Baby steps . . .

well you say that but there is an efficient network of electric vehicles that can pull a lot more than 9 cars and its been used by every auto manufacturer for over 100 years.

Yes, but not in "Amurica".

I'm sure that you know that the American railroad network is nothing like European or Asian network, but also there are very little electrified part of the railroad.  Diesel locomotives are what is used. They still belch stinky exhaust.  And those Diesel-powered trains do  transport lots of new cars to various destinations in cars likely much larger than the European counterparts.

Are those past the testing stage and being used over the road?

[Tabbysdaddy]

They're diesel electric locomotives. Give them some credit, they're halfway there.

[sfhess]

There is a well-used UP railroad line at the end of my street.  I have not noticed any belching of stinky exhaust.
