the '48 Tucker Torpedo unique features that caught my eye

The gear selector didn't focus in, but still remains interesting to look at...

I just noticed that this starts 0 at the top, not the lower left like almost every other round speedometer

Evolution of Motorcycle exhibit is on til June, San Diego Auto Museum

1917 Harley, unrestored... just pulled out of storage and put on display for a good look at originality
A pair of Indian race bikes
The really big dirt bike racers display, well, part of it!

Tool Depot, in Pt Loma San Diego

They even repair tools there!

I dig the look of a Hudson truck, sorta odd, but imagine what it'd look like with HUGE back tires at a drag strip!

I've never seen a Dodge Mini-RV before

Price of gas in San Diego... on Coronado Island (just the 2 gas stations, no others I know of) This year vs last year

I bet they have no explanation (that will make sense) why the cheap stuff is up 40 cents, but the expensive stuff is up only 20 cents.
