this was made in 2017 or 2018 by VTR Customs of Switzerland based on an R1200 R supplied by BMW, to race in the Sultans of Sprint series, a custom bike acceleration challenge in Europe that was a 2018/2019 event that didn't return after covid

at the MONA in Hobart Tasmania, a crushed, life size tank, made of leather which took 2 years to complete, called Tank Project, made entirely of leather. Even the tracks. By Chinese artist He Xiangyu.

I had a couple minutes to look through an apartment building parking garage... and was surprised to find a Viper, a Chevelle Malibu, and this sad Camaro. Poor thing needs some love





it's so odd to see a Viper in a parking garage... it shouldn't be, they are only worth about 40 k... 10 to 20k less than most new vehicles. Maybe there just weren't that many ever made, maybe that's why I rarely see them

spotted in the back of a delivery semi... dropping off or picking up from a detailer

 

unmarked cop car... they come with window stickers now?


I didn't know that George Clooney and a couple other guys I've never heard of kicked off a start up tequila company, and quickly sold it?

I don't think I've ever been aware that George Clooney was a motorcycle rider... looks like a classic BMW


radar hater? radiator hater?

 

so... they bought a stainless bare metal vehicle, and then, realized they needed some color on it. Why they chose this one? No idea


 

fun helmets!


 

this Shelby Mustang was SMASHED the hell up

 

did you hear about the herd of cows on the 15? Utah cows busted out a fence around 530am... and did a LOT of damage to a couple cars
