The weekend is over, and I leave you with this dichotomy


I bet this diorama made inspired by a photo is going to amaze you, made by Ramón Cubiró / Velasor Legendary Models



I'm so impressed, I'd like you to see a couple more:





what a cool diorama! Made by Ramón Cubiró / Velasor Legendary Models

cool tow trucks!


I see this a lot more lately, scrubbing all the paint off a California license plate, but not the stuff that matters, the letters and numbers


 

I might be easily amused, but I get a lot of enjoyment from Calvin and Hobbes (posted for the punchline in the last panel)


what Ghost Rider looked like in the comic books in the 80s

 

the 80s version of Capt America, used this Harley and this Chevy van


 

when getting lunch on Friday, I see this BMW, similar to one I posted a week or two ago. It's Qualcomm's lunch bunch

 

last week they were in a taller version, but still BMW


and at another fast food place I go to. 

a 69 Jeep Commando racing in the Baja 1000, taking 2nd place in it's class (Pioneer 4x4)


there came a moment when to fix the rear axle, in Le Paz, without a full garage that specializes in gears and axles, they made do with this bottle jack and chain. It got the axle straightened out

Interesting to me that Firestone was licensing lawn mowers from Cooper in 1958



I guess this is a good time to also remark that Firestone was licensing tools, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/02/i-just-learned-that-plumb-made-tools.html 

an alternative way to get the back wheel turning... I wonder if it didn't result in being the normal design due to efficiency, or the gears grinding from dust and dirt, or chewing on pant legs


I haven't seen this snow blown effect before
