more police scare tactics they used once for a news clip and won't do everyday because they don't have the budget for fuel

found on https://www.facebook.com/pages/White-Trucking/164064040275794 and the video on http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nbc-news/53423401#53976261 if you want to put up with the commercials etc

if you drive anything for a living, get a dash cam... it makes explaining how someone pulled out in front of you and cut you off, disregarding the safe driving law, simple for your insurance company to understand

'52 Peterbuilt COE, one of 20 built this way, restored impeccably, and wonderfully displayed at the Art Center College Car Classic 2012

I find this very cool, a COE which you long time readers know I have a fixation on, an old semi which I also get a kick out of, and a lot to learn that I hadn't known (last image) that ties together the Fageol and Peterbuilt truck companies

I like the way it's draped over this small hill, showing it's articulation. I might be in the minority on that...  but the implied motion versus a flat parking lot setting is something I prefer

The Blue Pete

The spring Big 3 swapmeet at Qualcomm stadium brings out a lot off cool stuff (lots of yard sale junk too) here's some cool stuff I saw

Look familiar? I just took the following photo at the Grand Nationa Roadster show:

These Vertex magnetos are up for 700 bucks

I've posted a bit about tool boxes before http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/tool-boxes-from-history-made-of-wood-by.html

how about that buggy?

Model T tool kit, looks complete, maybe I'm wrong

Above will be going home with some one new for about 2-300

5 to 10 dollars apiece

cool funky shapes

Don't look for these, I brought them home by trading an issue of Rodders Journal

I want the above to put ont he wall to inspire me to get involved more in drag racing

Gas and electric in one

Own a piece of history! now that is a good sales pitch

Clever! License plates into dust pans.

Jim Beam bottles

wow, this is old and cool, complete and in terrific condition!

Don't look for this Chrondek photo electric timer... I had to give it a good home in my garage!

This old beer keg is one of a dozen I found there, and begging to become a gas tank for a hot rod!
