This (and the others) were taken with my Nikon coolpix, do you think this telephone pole is bent or is it optical distortion?

I think the power pole is bent. Ever stop to think about it? Telephone poles have been around for over 100 years and there has been no advancement in the technology to deliver power to homes. They STILL use wood power poles.

I know there ar eplaces where everything is undergound now or there are conc. poles now but still, there are a LOT of anchient technology power poles.

Wait... You live in S. Florida and you've have never noticed all those fiberglass and concrete poles? I saw lots of them when I lived there.

I just found a buttload of old pics.....


I put this Pig sticker on this stop sign in Downtown Ft. Pierce 10 years ago and it is still there.



He has got my vote!!



This guy comes to an SCCA AX with this shirt on. I laughed so hard because everyone is so PC at AX's it was refreashing to see someone say how they really feel. BTW- a couple of Honda guys thought it would be cool to go to the site at night and drift it with McDonalds trays under their rear wheels. We lost the site...



The Bay Bottom Crawl 2004 was interesting to say the least. These guys blew a tranny in practice and drove 2 hours to get another and install it before the race the next day.




A really sick Z car..




This M3 had the bad luck of running off the narrow road and into the mangroves and underbrush which will basically peel back the sheet metal on your car. This race is not for the timid...



V-tech baby!! You would not believe the confused looks I get from Honda kids on the street when I had this on my RX7.


A cat with toys on it.



More to come.......

Dad did this with his 1968 Mustang with a 289 in it and 4 speed, totally stock.



Driveway with some RX7 friends over...


A guy that worked for me brought in his guns to show to us.


I was glad I never had to fire him, he quit on good terms for greener pastures.


This is what happens when you call off a motorcylce at 90 MPH and have nothing to protect you, this is the guy from the picture above.


I wanted to buy this car so bad, one of those wish I did moments.

Truck driver said he "Got blowed over".
U-Haul driver "Ran outta road"
Dodge driver "Wasn't going that fast"



Sure glad I don't have to deal with that BS any more!

Paul.
