want to see a photo go viral? Make a USA flag with white, red, and blue old tractors
do you get what I'm saying? It would take hundreds of red and white ones... but, of there were some red threshers, or combines, that would help.
Just putting good ideas out there in hopes someone makes it happen for the 4th of July

Bernie Ecclestone arrested in Brazil for possession of a gun
Bernie Ecclestone is reported to have been arrested in Brazil for illegally carrying a gun in his luggage as he prepared to board a private plane to Switzerland.
Ecclestone, 91, had been in the country with his Brazilian-born wife, Fabiana, who was elected an FIA vice-president last year.
He has previously said that he was shaken by the abduction of his mother-in-law in Sao Paolo six years ago.
Kidnappers demanded a ransom of $36.5m (£28m) for her safe release, but she was freed unharmed after a police operation.

compliments of the day!
you put the current Jalponik to shame. keep it up!
Jalopnik is a business enteprise, JACG is a labor of love - a big freakin' difference. There may be overlapping content, but your blog show tons of stuff that Jalopnik would never touch, which is but one reason this blog is so much more interesting than whatever else there is out there.

Seen on tonight's walk
When looking to see what this Mustang looks like, I found that the owner also has a Cougar in the garage
it's easy to spot where a Ford usually parks... either it's marking it's territory, OR, it's horsepower sweat.
When is the last time you saw a Fiero being used as a commuter?
I wonder what W115 is about
One of today's installments of "what's under the car cover?" I think it's a 1960s Fiat 500, or an Isetta
Looks like that camper has remained in the back of that truck since the 70s
it's not common to see street signs covered by shrubs
This truck owner seems to love old Dodges, I'm not certain about the RV
Another chance to guess at what's under the car cover
oh heck, I had to see what it looked like, obviously it was a 60s T Bird, and it's been there for over 15 years... hasn't moved.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles pleads guilty, is fined $300 million in emissions fraud investigation
The company acknowledged its efforts to evade emissions requirements for more than 100,000 older Ram pickup trucks and Jeep SUVs in the U.S. The affected diesel-powered vehicles span model years 2014 to 2016. Negotiations between FCA lawyers and U.S. officials to resolve the current probe dragged on for years and across presidential administrations as the two sides haggled over whether the company would plead guilty and, if it did, the exact details in any criminal charge, one of the people said.
Emirates Team New Zealand, the America’s Cup-winning sailing team, has launched an attempt to break the wind-powered land speed record later this year.
Glenn Ashby will pilot the vehicle. Ashby has won two America’s Cup Matches as a sailor with Team New Zealand.
He is testing in Auckland, before Horonuku is moved to Lake Gairdner to continue testing and tuning on the salt lake to be ready to roll when a weather window comes along
Thanks Kim!
This is from Jalopnik, and I think Kim for sending it to me, because I don't look at what Jalopnik does, as I'm pretty sure they do enough good stuff that I'd constantly be reposting what they've already done, and, if I were doing that, there would be no point to looking at my blog at all.... it would only be a reflection of Jalopnik

Mike Schroeder from Montana’s Red Right Hand of Moto, never had a Monkey or other bike as a young kid, so he decided it was time to rectify things.
After building the bike, it felt like it needed something more. The z50 is so tiny, it felt like a toy, so I figured, why not make it a life-size toy?
Inspired by die-cast toys he used to love, he built a box, designed the wrap, and made the box.
