Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

not gonna lie, the "mod everything!" part of my brain would love to lower my Expedition...

Imagine that with a more reasonable diameter rim...

In reply to JoeyM :

I agree there's a certain cleanliness to an empty white box... Sorry, attempting (pathetically) to add humor to the observation that the Instagram links don't work here. I'm even logged into Instagram! I can follow the link to view, but it's not hotlinked here.

We need more lowered, short wheel base, single cab trucks in the world.

Agreed 100%.  Lowered but not slammed just looks so right....

I’m on the phone and not near MSPaint so I can’t do it myself but I’d like to see how that looks with whiteletters. Maybe needs some more sidewall height to pull it off 

In reply to aircooled :

The "Zippo" ads give it away. When those cars ran there for real there was no "bus stop" "inner loop" thing.

and just for the heck of it, another Watkins Glen pic from my camera in 1972

^Ran across that in the Happy Hour chat last time. So bad, it's kinda good?

Up next, both Neill Blomkamp and Shirow Masamune would be proud:

Someone here in my town has a sickness. 
 

It looks serious. 
 

I've always wanted to knock on the door, but I'd feel intrusive. There's also been other interesting cars there, like a tri-five Chevy.

Must be Angry's southern cousin, HappyCorvair. And as you might guess, he's happy because his corvairs work. 

Stinger's Bar & Grill on A1A, Pompano Beach, FL. No WiFi, but the best fish tacos anywhere. And great face-to-face conversation with the other patrons.

Grilled and Baja fried? I freakin LOVE fish tacos. Like alot...

The 314 Clipper and the XB-15 shared the same wing.

In reply to Appleseed :

That's a beautiful wing design. Good dihedral and thick cross section. Classic vintage aeronautical design, and effective at the time. But this sounds familiar. Did we have a discussion here about this same topic a few years ago? Not a problem if we did. It's a good topic. And in conjunction, I think somebody mentioned a book about a Pan-Am Clipper making an historic flight flight in the late 1930s, just before WWII. I even bought and read the book! But damn, I'm 72, so can't remember details. I know the book is in my library back at home in RI, but I'm in South Florida right now.

Obligatory unrelated pic:

 I think that might have been my recommendation for "The Long Way Home" by Ed Dover, and here is a legit hotlink...

We had this one at work... pretty sure it's a state highway truck before graphics, but it looked cool! 

So the Zoomboni went under the knife last week and gained a whole lot of driver comfort.  Due to the constraints of fabbing it up to have two driving positions with the lower entirely within the shell of the original vehicle the original seating position didn't give the driver enough room for their left arm.  Arm in and it limited my ability to turn.  Arm out and it was the same but in a different direction.  Now it's closer to being a lotus 7 clone and 100% easier and more comfortable to drive.
