I just missed Jay Leno yesterday in his Mustang GTD, he was pulling out of the Beverly Glen Center just as I was pulling in. Oh well, next time!

I don't see a lot of lead-sleds in Portland. This one was driven by a ponytailed, greybeard boomer.

On this evenings walk. First series 1970 with original Feb 70 blue plates.

Same color as the 620 which was my first driving vehicle in high school.

Nice pic! I miss my 240s from 40 years ago.

Where is Denis? Does anyone know if he's ok or not?

I thought Florida had banned the Carolina Squat? Maybe it was Alabama?

I see Carolina Squat and Squat Truck. Taildragger works but I have not heard the term.

For safety please secure sufficient lighting.



Kiboshed in the Carolinas for the extreme. I'm assuming extreme but the truck below????
