What did you see on the road today?


Recommended Posts

Went to the beach today, and at a roadside hot dog/burger joint saw a sharp dark red '54-55 Corvette (don't think it was  '53--those were all white?).   Whitewall tires w/ matching red steelies, no wheel covers.  Looked very clean..should have taken a pic.

This was yesterday.... it was my birthday so I did a road trip with Blue Cloud.  Williams (AZ) had their annual car show.  Took the Chopper bicycle, which is the way to see this lineal format that stretches through the whole town, rode to the east end and took my time going west.  Then I drove up Bill Williams Mountain.  By the time I drove through around Noon, it was a madhouse.

Rush hour. 😅  Paced that Jeep in granny gear for a few blocks.

I saw a Tesla pickup in the wild, tonight. No pictures, because, why would you?😅 Damned thing is uglier than Walter White's Aztec!

I saw one at the Williams show.  Owners are attention whores in the wrong place.  I *have to* post this:

Kind of looks like an old Air Stream trailer, at least they looked kind of cool.

I would NOT want to be driving within blocks of that $-heap on a sunny day. No doubt blinds everyone for miles around! 

Much worse than those chrome plated semi-trailer tailgates. 

There oughta be a law!

I have only seen these cars on YouTube in Rally Races, but I think they look great and love the sound when they're "at full song".

On my way back from grocery getting I came across a fellow in a '50 Porsche 356 convertible broke down in a left turn lane. Of course I had to stop and render help. It was a family car that he was driving home from a restro business that had done some work on her. Thankfully one of our finest state police officers pulled over to help stop traffic while the owner and I pushed her to a safer spot for the rollback. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any photos because of the busy intersection, to dangerous. Nice clean no rust car! One owner.
