1906 Zenith Bi-Car.

Early predecessor of the Bimota Tesi; a much earlier example of hub center steering.

Bimota makes such amazing art.

You get a thumbs-up, but PIC, man, PIC!!

The PHEV Rav4 would tick a lot of boxes for us, but capitulation to SUVessence is hard to get excited about.

You wouldn't want to do that now.  The wind blast will drive the Covid cooties all the way up your sinus. 

Cooties, bugs, small rocks, that sort of stuff.

Oh man, those camaros are legendary!

Supposedly the acid dipped one was so thinned out that the roof would buckle if you so much as rested your hand on it.

I read a story about Donahue standing near the illegal car when a marshal came up to chat about something.  Donahue casually leaned against the car and felt the fender buckle under his ass, so he just stayed in that position until the marshal was done their conversation and went away again.

I just finished re-reading The Unfair Advantage (original 1975 copy). Apparently everybody was acid dipping so Penske/Donohue (with an "o") didn't have an unfair advantage with that particular trick. But the story about the qualifying car/ race car was great!

Unrelated ... we had a new driveway installed last week:

They were liquid cooled, radiator to the right behind the propeller.   Curtiss JN-4 with the cowlings removed.    A lot of these ended up in early racing boats

Turns out I bought it September 21, 1982.  It was born in August, though.

I came  [    ]  this close to buying a Bimoto Mantra once, it's still stuck in my head.  Reminds me of Bumbllebee.

After 860 incident free miles and 20 miles from drop off, this carrier got into an accident.

Any idea what engine that is?

Looks like it is a non-runner, so may just be a mockup motor.  Brief story here

Probably too much tongue weight. Wouldn't it be better to have the Mustang between the axles of truck and trailer?  Instead, he has the weight all on the truck axle.

At the beach, at this moment. Kelley's Island in the background. 

Turn a little to the left and it's Put in Bay and the International Peace Memorial in the distance.
