I am loving this Corvair dragster I spotted at the Hot Wheels Tour finale at the Hot Wheels headquarters in El Segundo




first time I've seen this eye magnet in person







this 280z has some cool event stickers on the windshield starting in 2021 through 2025!

 

among the GT 350s the original Venice crew builds, is this type of rear deck, looking like that early 60s Thunderbird option. I think it's terrible on the Mustang





It's not uncommon to come across one of these Jeep Wagoneers, but, I've never noticed these locking hubs before, on anything. They are named Dualmatic!


Very cool to see this old camera on the dash





Here's how the Dualmatic works (thank you Steve! https://robwolfe10.tripod.com/dualmatic_hubs.htm )

nice assortment of vintage camping stuff

'71 Lotus Europa S2 that was fixed up by the Overhaulin' tv show... only the 2nd car I've ever seen that was fixed up by the Overhaulin show




This probably goes like crazy on a packed snow trail





good looking old Mazda

 

a shorty Pinto!





This Barracuda ain't messing around... not with this supercharged elephant



It's been a long time since I've seen a Triumph GT 6+


interesting Thing



It's been a while since I've seen an old Kenworth

The projected cost of the high-speed electric train connecting Las Vegas to the Los Angeles area just went up by nearly 40%.

it turns out that some people believe a god existed about 6 thousand years ago, and told them to let their great great grandkids, 40 generations later, know that their deity had a rule against driving (a concept that did not exist thousands of years ago) cars (which couldn't even be imagined) on roads that also didn't exist. So, today, cyclists take over the roads
