I would think that one of them would spontaneously combust because of incongruity if you know what I mean.
The Grand Funk 8 Track tape was not staged, it is just what happened to be in the player when I shot the pics 41 years ago. I have been a life long non smoker and that includes wacky tobbacy. Heck you can see the fire extinguisher on the floor!



I was too lazy to dust the scans.

That car cost $2,650 brand new. I paid if off on 12 months.

Joe, this looks like the Ohio/Indiana state line at I70 in Richmond, IN...close to where I grew up. Cool trip and Buggy by the way.

Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

Thanks, we like it. It's kinda nice when the valley is zapped in fog but we have sun. Can't beat the fact that 8 out of 10 nights, you can see the Milky-way snake across the night sky with the naked eye. Although our monthly gas bill sucks-balls due to our home to work commute mileage. But it's all about balance......

Your spot on regarding Sweetie Pie's. That place is the absolute bomb on breakfast. Hands down the best in Pville. Not sure how long it's been regarding your visit, there have been a couple of new additions to the Main Street resurants. If your looking for lunch or dinner, you'll need to give them a try. Fantastic food and we go there often.

This pizza place rocks and they're serve the thin crust Italian style. You don't walk out stuffed and looking for a rock to sun yourself, aiding food digestion.


This is another great restaurant that serves Mexican style meals. Can personally recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer and the chicken burrito. With this place, you will take something home and or need to find a sunny rock if you go anaconda mode and finish off everything. Not that I have personal experience with that..... Although, I do have a few sunny rock recommendations if you do need one.


If you in town, give me a shout. We could grab lunch and talk Porsche stuff.

Cheers
