    I was out driving this morning, and wish I had a camera to show what I found in central Fl.

    After an hour of "nothing in particular" on wheels...

    I see a late '80s K-car wagon for sale on the side of the road. I considered stopping, but it was still very early in the A.M.

    A few minutes later: a 1967 Firebird convertible. I was triple black, and had an Overhead Cam Engine, Rally II wheels, and whitewalls. Not restored, but stock looking and borderline tired.

    A few minutes after that...2 CRXes, a 1st gen and a 2nd gen. Not so much rusted as a little "bruised".

    A few minutes after that...2 Jeepsters on the side of the road for sale, a light yellow and a dark green.

    A few miles further...3 Dodge Power Wagons. I think that is what they are called, look like the ambulances on MASH, but with pick-up beds instead of van bodies. 2 of the 3 were being restored.

    About 15 minutes later...a '75 AMC Matador coupe. It was white with a orangey/pumpkiny vinyl roof.

    Then on the way home passed a Navy landing vessel of some kind sitting on huge tires/wheels. This thing looked big enough to carry 2 18 wheelers, side by side in it.

    I didn't have my phone with me, and on the way home I wondered how I would have posted here with it.

    I used to have a Kodak that allowed "copying" photos right to my computer...no cables needed. The battery compartment/holder? broke, so I need a new camera. I am thinking I'll get another Kodak...one of the last?

    Sure you weren't just having a dream based on the Hotlink thread?

    My trip was down hiway 17 in Florida, when I was about 10 miles NORTH of Palatka, that's when I started to see these cars. Then drove over towards St. Augustine by way of Hastings (saw the Jeepsters and Power Wagons near Hastings) and that landing craft "thingee" is just south of Green Cove Springs, Fl.

    But hey, I was kind of high on Dunkin Donuts fumes.

    We were in St. Augustine today. There seemed to be a few cool cars out today. I guess a Saturday as nice as this one will bring the cool cars out.
