this is odd, a fishing rod rack on a front bumper.
I guess there must be some places you would be able to park close enough to the water to use this rack to hold your fishing poles...
But 8 poles, in use at one time? This close together? Isn't that going to result in some tangled up lines?

It turns out that Lisa Bonet's dad bought her a cool 65 Mustang GT when she was 17, stick shift, the pony interior, drop top
and her husband decided it had been neglected far too long and left to rust away, so he got a Vegas company to fix it up. Someone realized that this would make a cool video

reason the the Top Gear guys aren't making more shows? May did some stupid series about Japan
On Amazon.
If you want to see a lot about Japan, this will be good for that.
But if you'd rather Amazon put out another The Grand Tour special, obviously that's not happening and Clarkson, Hammons, and May are out doing other things

A Vancouver cyclist is recovering from several broken bones and other injuries after he was hit by a truck carrying an overhanging load of wooden planks (Thanks Andrew P!)
“This hit me from behind going 80 km/h,”
Nickel says he was taken to Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver where he was assessed for a broken clavicle, scapula, and eight broken ribs. He says he also has a punctured lung.

I can't imagine that this driver was unaware that the cargo was more out of his truck than in it
fun, easy to watch movie recommendation, The Best of Times (1986)
Kurt Russel's character runs a service garage where they paint murals on the sides of vans
and if you like football, they play a game in the last 1/3rd of the movie

the cool things people come across when out on the side roads while road tripping
It is called a "Palace" Built around 1948. The interior was set up as a diner car.

What the actual hell is this
Someone was on drugs, I guarantee it.

Here's a cheat that I haven't heard of before, 2 race cars, one under the minimum allowable weight, the other in spec. The underweight can pull better qualifing times, but isn't legal to race... Penske cheated to solve the problem
Notice the numbers for each car, 15 and 16.
Each car in the photos below wears the opposite number than it did in the actual race. The car with the vent window (wind wing) in the door is the '67 lightweight car from the previous season.
It was under minimum weight and did not get run through tech inspection. They ran the '68 through tech inspection twice by changing the car number in a closed airplane hangar between each inspection.

I think I may have posted these photo years ago when I read Unfair Advantage by Mark Donohue. They swiss cheesed the inner fenderwells and doors for free flowing air on the Sunoco Camaro

Holes were also incorporated into both ends of the door and through the rear quarter panel and into the rear fenderwell.

Preproduction Broncos are trying out the Rubicon trail
There's only one way to get impressive sales, and that's going to be to get impressive respect from true off roaders. They'll have to prove that the Bronco can outperform the Jeep Rubicon

The waiting line for a Double Double gets so long around 6-8 pm at this location, people will wait IN the nearby intersection, here are 2 different days of examples. While I'm waiting at the stop light, why not photograph this insanity?
in this bottom photo, you can see that the line wraps around the block, and I can tell you that there are about 50 cars in line, out of the drive through out of the parking lot, down the road, and to this intersection, then - as you can see, it goes up this OTHER road.
