There is a lot going on here,
Wing, wheelie bars, and a flame job grab my attention right away... but this has so much more.
Bruce's huge '95 Peterbuilt 357, custom
The tires alone are taller than my daily driver car, and EXPENSIVE! 1700 apiece, from Michellin of Australia... the front axle has a 21,000 GVW rating, and this had a past life as a mixer truck in a Florida mine.Now it does special jobs, like movie location wetting, construction site watering down for foundation compaction, is (or has) worked some local fires, and soon a couple of accessories will be added to allow for remote controlled water cannon projection of up to 1/4 mile.
Hand held cell phone while driving... not yet against the law

Just torques me. If it's so unsafe that the DMV makes a law against it, if it's that unsafe, why are the cops holding a cell phone while driving on the 805 Southbound at about 5pm?
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/cellularphonelaws/index.htm
"Two new laws dealing with the use of wireless telephones while driving ...
Q: When do the new wireless telephone laws take effect?
A: The new laws take effect July 1, 2008
Q: What is the difference between the two laws?
A: The first prohibits all drivers from using a handheld wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle. (Vehicle Code (VC) §23123).
Q: Can I be pulled over by a law enforcement officer for using my handheld wireless telephone?
A: Yes. A law enforcement officer can pull you over just for this infraction.
But here's where corruption shows its face :
"Q: What other exceptions are there?
A: Operators of an authorized emergency vehicle during the course of employment are exempt"
I conclude that the DMV clearly infers that unless you have a badge, you are considered a 2nd class driver who can't be trusted to drive safe and talk to a cell phone at the same time.
The corollary seems to be that the only people who can safely talk to a cell phone and drive at the same time are such exceptional 1st class drivers they are hired to police the 2nd class drivers; and given police cars and badges because they can simultaneously DRIVE, HOLD A CELL PHONE AND TALK, and PULL YOU OVER FOR TALKING ON A CELL PHONE.
What a farce, a conjured up excuse to raise money for the overspending government.
Instead of citing you when you cause a collision, accident, or harm others... they are omnipotent enough to foresee that all drivers talking on cell phones without a hands free device (not driving an emergency vehicle), are going to harm others, and must be issued a citation and fined by a exceptional (able to hold a cell phone and talk at the same time while driving) 1st class driver. What arrogant pomposity.

From the San Diego Union Trib Wheels car calendar author... the car calendar is a partial list, here's a link to the rest
My Car Calendar runs in part in the Wheels section, but I run it in full at Maynard's Garage, http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/weblogs/garage/
Ever wonder what a "2+2" fender callout was about?
I haven't seen many, just one of each, but I'd wondered and finally remembered to look them up, thanks Tere!
From Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2+2_(car_body_style)
The 2 + 2 means bucket seats in the front and dual exhaust.
The term 2+2 is a phrase used to describe the configuration of a car with seating for two passengers up front, plus two seats for occasional passengers in the rear. Many vehicles fall into this definition, and there is no official body offering a strict definition, but cars called 2+2s are generally of a more sporting nature than the average vehicle (at least in theory); they tend to have coupé bodies, and sources conflict as to whether they must have only two doors.
Many convertible and targa top cars are strictly within this definition, but are rarely called 2+2s.
While the "plus two" seats in the back are generally not very spacious, they may be effective in bringing down the owner's insurance premium, and are sometimes suitable for children or a dog.
Only a few cars have ever been specifically marketed as 2+2s — most prominent are the classic 1964-73 Ford Mustang Fastbacks, Jaguar E-type fixed-head coupé 2+2, the Lotus Elan +2, the Nissan 300ZX 2+2 and the various Pontiac 2+2 models, including the aerodynamic Grand Prix of NASCAR fame.

great reference website! auto.howstuffworks.com/collectible-classic-cars
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/collectible-classic-cars-channel.htm
here's some excerpts from http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1968-1970-dodge-coronet-r-t3.htm
Really good indepth article on the Coronet (plus Super Bee and R/T) evolution from the 68 to 69 design changes... both how and why.
"Lacking tooling money, however, for a new hood, Dodge stylists imaginatively accomplished their task by grafting a stamped metal skirt onto the forward edge of the carryover hood."
"The recessed area above the bumper was filled with a bright-edged black panel that contained three slim horizontal rectangles. The left and right sections housed the taillamps. The middle rectangle, though not illuminated, contained red reflective material."
"In '69, Dodge also offered special performance packages for the 440- and 426-cubic-inch engines. Track Pak included a heavy-duty four-speed transmission with Hurst linkage, a heavy-duty 9.75-inch Dana axle with a 3.54 ratio, Sure-Grip nonslip differential, 26-inch high-performance radiator with fan shroud, seven-blade torque-drive fan, and dual-breaker distributor. The Super Track Pak included all of the above plus power disc brakes and 15-inch cast-center road wheels."
A couple of errors on this website are the description of the ram air switch, it actually is a pull handle to a cable that moves the flap, and the side marker reflectors didn't have light bulbs in 69... the 68's were just lights without reflectors, and the 69's went to just reflectors, then in 70 they went for a combo to offer "protection even with a burned-out bulb."
I believe this exemplifies why researchers who aren't into a subject personnaly should be fact checked by a fanatic, an expert, or both. I know I've made similar mistakes that I dodn't realize simply because I don't have a fact checker

What's the coolest about this?; that this '31 Ford tow truck is still around?, that it's used as a display at the auto hobby shop, or that the authentic hoist mechanism is a couple of rear diffs? That the culmination of using whats hanging around for the most you can get out of it....

Nascar drivers give scorching critisism about the Goodyear tires at Kobalt Tools 500
Tony Stewart "If they can't do better than that, pull out of the sport. I guarantee you that Hoosier or Firestone could do a better job than that."
"That's the worse tire I've been on in my life in any professional form of racing," ... "Look at when they exited Formula One and the IRL and CART and World of Outlaws, USAC, you name it, because they can't compete, they can't keep up, they don't have the technology and they don't have the people smart enough to build a tire. This was pathetic today."
“Goodyear can't build a tire that is worth a crap. If I were Goodyear, I would be really embarrassed about this weekend and what they brought here.”
Goodyear doesn't have any competition on the track, they have an exclusive rights contract with Nascar until 2011, .....each tire costs $389.00.
