Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

These aren't hot linked but we don't have a thread for the random stuff we do so here is a picture of my year old trailer after pressure washing it so I can put another coat of preservative on it in hopes that it lasts a couple decades.  

How the Berkley is it that clean underneath?, and I don't mean clean as in pressure washed, I mean zero faded, flaking paint and rust.  My 'new' Harbor Fright trailer, the chassis, but especially the axle and springs are all rusty after two years, and no I didn't use it much in the winter other than a Pagenmas tree each year.

Florida,  I'm claiming Florida. 

I did this last year the day I brought it home from tractor supply.  It's been used sparingly but I've backed it into a couple lakes and rivers launching my little pelican bass raider.  I recently towed my motorcycle 4 hours in the pouring rain. 

I used a mix of boiled linseed oil, mineral spirits and melted candle wax and coated everything.  Other than that it just sits in the backyard.  The worst rust on it is the springs for the tailgate latch pins.

Tesla hearse. Not a photoshop.

Milwaukee's Mitchell airport?

From an ad. What car?

In reply to Brett_Murphy (Agent of Chaos) :

It appears to be a Subaru with a front mounted intercooler.  The intake manifold shape and the accessory pulley visible are the giveaways.  What is interesting is that it appears to have a high placed front mount turbo.

I hate splinters. So this was me this afternoon. I was doing yard work and slid my hand down the rake handle. That wood sliver found my pinky finger and embedded itself deeply. I dug around with the needle until I found it, squeezed, and then picked it out with the tweezers. Did I mention I hate splinters? Maybe not as severe as Adrian's head injury a few years ago, but nevertheless, I hate splinters. 

BTW Adrian, refresh our memories. Please re-post a pic of your famous head injury. Very impressive!

It's a Stepford.  This is the older 1975 model.

I took this coming into work the other day. 
 

Could not see who was driving

If she needs to advertise her hawtness via a vanity plate, she probably isn't.

Inability to spell is an automatic -3 hotness.

Tunasister is a teacher at a local city elementary school. She has a problem family, three kids, all different father, each kid has the same name. Super weird. The Mom drives as you'd expect, so Tunasister is on the phone with me, complaining about this driver, then she identifies her. She has a giant windshield banner: "Mrs Thick"

Agreed with both statements, but vanity plates, silly or not, are exempt from spelling errors as long as you can sound it out.

World's Smallest Aircraft Carrier?

Mostly unrelated:

Alex Xydias, who owned the original So-Cal Speed Shop, and built the belly-tank car in the 1940's, turned 100 recently. Bruce Meyer hosted a party for him. There are a lot of notable car folks in the pic. Alex is in the black shirt in the front row next to Bruce. (The little guy in middle-front is Ed Iskenderian).

I did.

Sorry.
