Cool things with wheels since 2006

Coolest thing I heard of lately, a crossing guard put her thoughts to paper, and made 14k a month from that venture

Christine Tyler Hill turned her morning shift into a feel-good and lucrative venture with a subscription base, launching a mail delivered ne...

I was just reading.... about Edelbrock intakes, and the NHRA, and Mopar - they have the Chrysler part number on them so NHRA would recognize them for "stock" racing classes

The LD4B was the small block intake, the DP4B was the 383 intake, and the CH4B was the 440 intake, and it was sold as a part in the Direct C...

this is the first time I've heard of the Rotosphere, since I didn't grow up in big cities, and they are rare to find after the 80s

Approximately 234 were built from 1960-1971. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left with maybe 4 being fully operational They were created an...

cool photo of some mountain rd showed up as a screen saver the other day... great color juxtaposition

The road through Col Agnel connects Italy's Piedmont region with France, and winds over the Alps is one of the loftiest in Europe at ov...

because I think you'll get a laugh out of this.. there is a medical facility that has a something on the roof, that looks like a dolly from a big box store

tonight's walk was very full of older interesting cars, and I met a guy who bought a 68 Mustang when he retired, restored it, and keeps in the garage, but goes to a lot of car shows (and he has no one to leave it to, his kids and grand daughters have zero interest in it)

this must be the 3rd or 4th 70s Camaro I've seen on a front yard in this neighborhood... this is weird. No one has them on the street,...

while walking by... I spotted this tire, nearly bad enough to let the air out of preemptively, so the car owner doesn't crash.

BMW has some clever designer making this latest generation look pretty darn good. This owner took it a step farther, and put the dual air cleaners where they can be noticed

the blacked out headlight covers help. They help every black vehicle look better

The DC-3 Society will host its inaugural Fly-In & Showcase in Mid-August 2026 at one of Southern California’s most historic and community-driven airfields

wow, this is a lot of fire power at the ready, and ready to pop out of the plane when needed! The B-36 Peacemaker

For defense, early variants were equipped with six remotely operated retractable turrets and twin 20 mm cannons in both the nose and tail, g...

March is off to a bad start for commuting in San Diego in the afternoon... for the 2nd day in a row, all the sounthbound interstates were parking lots as a result of a single semi truck crash. Getting home took an extra 75 minutes

unreal... it's too damn dry in San Diego for moss to grow. The license plate expired in 2009. I don't recall seeing one anywhere that long expired before

I don't think a Mercedes is supposed to sit on the street with a floor jack propping it up. Ditto a battery tender

just my opinion, but anyone that lets a Mini sit parked so long that it sinks into the ground to the rims, doesn't deserve to own a Mini

spotted on the walk, I think it's an International TravelAll

just my opinion, but anyone that lets a Corvette sit parked so long that it gets a flat tire, doesn't deserve to own a Corvette

seen on tonight's walk

I have no guess for what's under the car cover I've never seen a house that collects shopping cars

1st thing I saw on the morning commute was a sign that things had really went haywire, and I didn't learn the facts til just now... a trucker crashed and died. Best guess, he fell asleep at the wheel at 6 am

I took the above photos at 6:07 a semi-truck carrying hundreds of thousands of almonds crashed and caught fire on southbound Interstate 805 ...

it's behind the paywall of course, but the news from the day before Mario's birthday, was that Cadillac named their first F1 race car for Mario! Very cool! Thank you Marc!
