Interstate 95 remains closed in both directions in Northeast Philadelphia after a truck fire caused part of the highway to collapse, it's going to screw up traffic in that area for months... the USA hasn't ever figured out how to quickly replace an overpass in less than a month.

unlike the disappointing turn out at El Cajon and La Mesa, Escondido's weekly Friday night cruise was at it's usual full turn out strength













Ultravan #227





70 Hemi Charger was interesting to look at, but this is the first time I've seen a Hurst shifter installed under the console


nice 55


It's been a long time since I've seen a B&M Quick Silver


a Mercury twin cab truck? I don't think I've seen one before




nice Bullitt tribute


I don't think I've ever posted a Gran Torino


Sweet Glasspar at the Escondido cruise last night




I found a Charger that seems to have original tires at the Escondido weekly Friday night cruise

I hope he had a go pro mounted to the inside of the windshield, that video would be epic!

He must have wanted to launch into the water


40% of street lights are out on LA freeways, because the copper thieves are so fast, and Caltrans cuts back on repair electricians by 22%, despite a 19 billion dollar budget. This results in a LOT of exit signs being dark, the lights not getting power. KCAL did a good video presentation



you can tell a lot from a photo... He must’ve said “that ain’t goin no where” while he was strapping it down. He must not have known how to load a tractor, heavy end on the trailer tongue (back it onto the trailer)


I was realizing this morning that a whole week had passed without me hearing of a train derailing (unlike last months ridiculous every other day derailment) but then? This hit the news


“BNSF Railway can confirm that at approximately 11:20 pm on June 7th, approximately 20 automobile cars derailed in Williams, AZ



I'll guess that from this photo of the wreck happening in front of a house, and junkyard, the cause of the derailment was the people at the house, or the junkyard, but you know, I could just be clairvoyant like that
