Cool stuff ...
Bernie Schrieber, USA's only winner of the World (motorcycles Trials Championship had a party trick of jumping 40 odd people with his Bultaco on level ground and no ramp.

I've seen that car in the flesh at one of the old Hunnert Car Pileups. It's as rad as it looks. For the life of me, I cant remember his name or H.A.M.B. handle.

Okay, I have problems with this one. Child on the ground is in the clear, but lucky that a wheel didn't get off the side of the ramp before reaching the top.
I can't believe the landing went well.
I'm hoping that it's shopped, and never happened.
oh yeah, picture thread. Let's see what I've got.
Yesterday I was downtown parked on the curb. Left blinker on and a white dually Dodge flashed me so I pulled out. Waved thank you. 2 miles later at a red light, he pulled up on my right just as the light went to green and he wheeled off onto an entrance ramp.
On the flatbed he had a Morris Woody Wagon and towed behind that was a Gar Wood triple cockpit!
"Dude!!! You missed my house!"
Huntsville, AL 1955? Check out the Harley Hummer parked in the bike rack. Was this common practice?

Don't ever tell me the '70s were not an atrocious time to be alive:

Eh, the daughter, she still walks with a limp, and the baby, well he's in his mid 20's now and still winces and ducks when planes fly overhead, but all in all, they acknowledge that they had a great childhood.
I just got a new hockey helmet. This is pretty cool in a nerdy hockey way, because it is a Cooper. What is special about that? Well, the helmet itself, there is nothing special. Exactly the same as the one it is replacing; the one that replaces this will likely be exactly the same as well. But the name is different. Instead of the Bauer 4500, I got the Cooper 4500. Cooper hasn't been around in the US for a long time - probably since the mid 90's, if not earlier than that. They were bought by the company that owned Bauer, Canstar, and when Nike bought Canstar, they retired the name. I think they may have been in specific stores in Canada for a while, but it was bottom end stuff.
But Bauer kept the trademark up. Eventually someone filed a challenge to it, because they hadn't actually used it in two decades or more, and so they released these helmets with the Cooper name. This is the reason that you can still buy Plymouth stuff from Mopar, even if it is just a t-shirt. Dorks like me will think it is cool.

The Mark Messier model!
unrealted pic:
I thought Mess had a Winn well? Ugly, whatever it was, not this model. This one (or its ancestors) is probably the most popular over the past 40 years.
The ugliest was butch Gorings.
The Wienermobile in the meme thread reminded me to be sad all over again about my E30 getting totaled. OTOH, it reminded me to laugh because the (well, a) Wienermobile drove by while I was waiting for a tow. It was pleasantly surreal in a sucky moment. It took two or three hours to get a tow because the conditions apparently made a lot of people as dumb as the person two cars back who caused my rear-ending...
Might should have kept one or two of those coal plants on standby.
