Delaware and Hudson Canal Company railcar #10 "Comet" built in 1882, designed for the company’s famous Gravity Railroad, which transported anthracite coal and passengers over the Moosic Mountains between Carbondale and Honesdale, Pennsylvania
When service ended in 1899 the car was taken up to its current location by draw horses, becoming a small ski factory for a time, then afterwards, a painters studio
the 94 Mercury Sable AIV (Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle) was about 400 pounds lighter than a Taurus SHO, with the same power train, and without rust
new movie you oughta know about for the fantastic vintage cars... the Maserati, The Brothers, with Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino - completing the trilogy of the great Italian can maker movies (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati) that I posted about years ago
The film is produced by Andrea Iervolino, who produced Moresco’s Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend, and Micheal Mann’s Ferrari starring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz. He is also planning one on Bugatti.

Pabst Blue Ribbon has a new marketing campaign, pretend a truck has been stolen in California, "Beer is getting warmer, trail is getting colder. Clock's still ticking," the company wrote, urging people to snap a photo and tag them if they see the truck.
The stolen truck was loaded with what is equivalent to more than 50,000 cans of beer.
Pabst has been using a lot of social media to hype this, like on Instagram, the company wrote: "STOLEN - 40,000lbs of beer."
The post continued: "To the thief: we don't fault you for wanting to brag to your friends how much PBR you have"... (clever)
The company gave the thief an ultimatum.
"Pabst is officially starting the clock now - you have exactly 18 days and 44 minutes ( Pabst Brewing Company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1844 ) to return our truck, no questions asked"
Question.... how does any corporate delivery vehicle NOT have GPS tracking, and NOT get tracked by Flock cameras?
I'm guessing this is a marketing campaign strategy to get free publicity (the deadline and founding year, that's a clue) and nothing more. That's actually clever
