Discount Tires helped me out Friday night, 10 minutes after closing the front door!
So while I was there getting a new tire to replace the one that picked up a piece of shrapnel, I took these so we could get a close look at race car fabrication around the windows, dash, roof panels, and aerodynamics.
Now this is a cool way to advertise a business
So cool, in fact, that it leads to more free advertising... like me posting the pics of the business advertising.

extreme lightweight, plus other cool ideas
Healey Silverstone 1949-1950After its first mass-produced car Westland, Elliot and Sportsmobile Healey decided to set up on the same chassis an easy and perfect sports car. It became the Silverstone, which not only successfully addressed the competitions, it became very attractive to collectors. The name was received after racing in the town Silverstone.
The gearbox was pushed back by 20 cm, it was fitted with a front stabilizer for lateral stability and upgraded witha stronger spring rear suspension. Lightweight and compact inswept body was achieved by using motorcycle fenders and a shorter windscreen, more weight was saved and aerodynamics enhanced by hiding the headlights behind the grill, and using the spare wheel in a special aperture at the rear of the body, which further served as a rear bumper. As such, Silverstone weighed nearly 200 kg less than the previous model from Healey, and has been very successful racing machine. 104 cars were made in '49 and 50.

I'm sure a bunch of you are wondering what the movie is about, Cranberry Sauce is a period piece taking place in 1960's, which was a very confusing and difficult time for all who went through it.
Cranberry Sauce introduces us to Bobby Basic, and his friends in July of 1970- the year the Beatles broke up. Bobby has an irrational dislike of the pilgrims that gets laid out for us to pick up through out his day of interactions.
The point of Cranberry Sauce is to make us laugh and even learn as the more you watch it the more you'll pick up little nuances and subplots.
The man who wrote, produced, and is directing this film is Glen Quaranta. He owns an independent pizza shop in Oceanside, off the College exit on 78 in the Home Depot parking lot called Gianni's.
Glen and I will be there everyday this week before 4pm if you would like to stop by and see the shop, show off your car, or just ask us a question in person, or even order a pizza.
I am planning a wrap party there where pizza will fall from the skies and the beer will flow from the taps, so I'll keep you all updated on that.
If you have any questions for me my name is Terri with Pizza and a Movie Productions, and my phone number is 760-419-4405. Thank you very much and I hope to see you all again on July 28!

Thief with persistance, steals a 911 2wice
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/19/grand-theft-auto-malaysian-style-1-porsche-stolen-by-1-thief/
Gets the Porsche dealership to hand him the keys, and blasts out through the plate glass window.
But the dealership only puts in enough gas to go 2km, the cops found it in 30 minutes. They gas it up and impound it, but the thief kept the keys and stole it from the impound lot too!
In Malaysia.

35 in a 25.
First came the $100 fine. Then came the 3-month license suspension.
Then came mandatory attendance in the State Courts Against Road Rage WTF? program, as well as a driver attitude retraining course -- both of which her mother had to drive her to because Jackie's license was suspended.
Then came the $500 fee to have her license reinstated. But she won't actually get her license back until she retakes both the written and the driving tests again... and pays the fees for those as well.

Would you like a car collection of several thousand cars?
Without a doubt the most eccentric and wealthy of coachbuilding's patrons is the Sultan of Brunei,
His Majesty's majesty is a collection comprised of several thousand cars.
In the '90s the royal family accounted for nearly 50-percent of all Rolls-Royces sold, but that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
The Sultan owns the racecars driven by each F1 world champion since the 1980 season and a stable full of the most exotic supercars. But the crown jewels, so to speak, in the Sultan's collection are several unique custom-built automobiles, including fully roadgoing examples of several concept cars – such as the Bentley Java and the Pininfarina Ferrari Mythos – and a fleet of sedans and wagons based on the Ferrari 456 GT.
Topping off the list is the Ferrari FX, a specially-commissioned supercar based on the F512M.

Have dream will travel
A pair of adventurers (electrician and his secretary, friends since childhood) drove their 1928 Graham Paige from Argentina to Alaska... at the top speed of 35 mph. It took 3 years, and was about 41,500 miles (reports vary).
Their route was up South America, across Central America and into North America, past New York to Nova Scotia and Quebec, then across the continent to California, most of it traveled on back roads.
The G-Paige gets about 12 mpg.
Lawyer Challenges Denver Motorcycle Noise Law
The law that went in effect this month in Denver is being challenged. He has stated that the Police motorcycles generate more noise than what the new law allows for.
for a far more eloquent article go to: http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/dx/lawyer-challenges-denver-motorcycle-noise-law.htm
However http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19822985/ really nails it in a journalistic way

Cool Bikers blog
http://motocyklisci.org/blog/2007/07/
I believe it's Romanian, however it's 80% written in perfect English
Turns out it's a copy of http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/ which is easier to read. . . or maybe I'm wrong, and the Romanian blog is the original, but I doubt it.
Interesting... it could just be an international and authorized copy... who knows.

A little John Deere info. (and the photo is of a Model D)
I ran across a tidbit that I'm looking up, of a motorbike made by John Deere, (this ain't it: http://www.given.it/JohnDeere.htm repeat, not it) in the search for that I came across the history of John Deere, and found it interesting. Link to it for the full shot, but the short side is this:
Born 1804, Vermont
Became a blacksmith in 1825, was regarded highly for his quality and ingenuity.
In the mid 1830-s business hit a depression.
In 1836 he learned about the pioneers sucesses, moved west to Illinios. Set up a forge.
Soon learned of the difficult soil conditions that East coast plows didn't work well in, designed a better plow.
Realized that demand would be greater than he could supply, so innovated the production before demand. No kidding, until this time it was only made when ordered, no on the shelf stock.
Went to his customers with his perfect plows, sold like nothing anyone had seen.
1843 imported steel from England
1848 founded his company with the highest standard ""I will never put my name on a plough that does not have in it the best that is in me."
1868 incorporated his business
1867 His son takes over running the business with the standard "if he did not improve and refine products, somebody else would."
1918 Its role as a significant force in the tractor industry began when it purchased the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company.
1924 John Deere inc. produced its Model D.
