Nice,,love those Lambos.And let me guess,your driving a Mustang,right?Maybe a Shelby?

Thanks for the compliment but not a Shelby.  Just a stock 2013 GT.  SWMBO still thinks of it as a toy, and was decidedly unimpressed when I mentioned taking it to Shelby in LV to have it "massaged".  Esp when the money was mentioned.

Today’s cool spot - anyone know the story with the oval license plate?  Is that an original German one?

Yes, it’s German. The oval was the tourist plate. Back in the day the German manufacturers had buy/drive/ship programs. Advertised in National Geographic.

Huh!  Interesting!  Thanks Tom!  That’s a cool little detail that one could add to a build!

These are photos I took back in 2017, but I saw this on the move yesterday:

Also this tidy E30.

1993 Alfa Romeo 33 1.3 Sport Wagon by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

And a bit of an oddity here - had a chat with the owner, apparently it was an import from Spain. We did get these 33 Wagons here, but not with such a small engine.

A good part of my ride to work is on a two lane country road. I often get stuck behind big slow trucks.  I spent a good 15 minutes behind this one on my way home the other day , wondering what “Bucks Bun Oil” was, until I got close at a light...

This milk truck is my daily nemesis. I see the same truck every morning. If I see it early while on the highway or the four lane road seen here, great!  If I see him once it’s the two lane road, it’s a slow ride to work!

Ok, none of these were today or even yesterday, but anyways...

A beauty of a 70 Cougar Eliminator at the local bar/resturant.

The following rigs I saw while on a Black Hills/Yellowstone/Grand Teton trip last month.

Cool little hippie VW van at the Missouri River overlook in Chamberlain, SD.

Backcountry/winter tour rigs in West Yellowstone, Montana.  Looks like it would be a fun job to have.

Yep, my '57 210 sedan. Dash is custom.

If I were to own a '57 Chevy this is how I would want it to look. I my be different, but I think the 210 looks better than the Bel Air. Chrome accent not overload.
