Looks Like Fun

Three-wheelers are not just for babies. 

This one is pretty cool. 

I bet it's fun to drive around town. ;-)

Nice Wheels and Rims

Not an overly impressive car.

But the oversize wheels and good-looking rims are quite fine!

What's more important the car or the tires?  ;-)

Dog Riding On Luggage

This little service dog was hilarious. 

He stood, the whole time, on this lady's carry-on luggage as she rolled through the airport. 

Dog was happy with its tongue out and ears perched up as he was riding along to his/her flight. 

I wonder if people could stand on their luggage too and get through the airport quicker that way!  ;-)

Functional art ready for the road.  ;-)

Ready To Drag Race

I'm not sure a Nissan is generally "all that." 

But this guy definitely souped it up so that it looks pretty nice! 

Why don't call cars look exciting like that?  ;-)

Been There Done That

Funny bumper sticker:

And all I got was this lousy t-shirt.  ;-)

Moving Me Down The Highway

Beach living!

It's living. 

Sun, sand, and surf. 

And a nice pair of wheels doesn't hurt.  ;-)

Upside Down Car

Wow what an accident. 

Car ended up flipping over!

What was really weird was that the advertisement on the side of the car was for a personal injury lawyer. 

Hopefully, the person(s) in the car came out okay and didn't need to call the "hurtline" listed.  ;-)

Long Rolling Train

This long train was just mesmerizing.

I didn't get the beginning of it. 

And I didn't get the end of it. 

I think it may just have been infinitely long!  ;-)

When You Absolutely Need A/C

When it's Summer, hot, and humid.

And your car's air conditioning isn't working.

What do you do?

Improvise!  ;-)

All American Hummer

Hummer is a large mother car. 

Based on military Humvee, so rules the road. 

They should've never gotten rid of these. 

Big and rugged like you'd expect in America. 

This one has the red, white, and blue colors to prove it!  ;-)

Broken Uber and Stupid Airport

 

So we are going to the airport early this morning and everything seemed to go wrong.

Because we needed an Uber early, we used the app to reserve one in advance.

I get an email that Uber charged us and the app says the driver is on the way.

However, it doesn't identify any driver or car. 

It turns out that Uber never reserved any driver and no one was coming to get us and we had a flight to catch.

So much for reservations that go unreserved!

So we cancel the darn Uber and instead try to get a Lyft, but after many minutes trying in vain to locate a driver, we gave up on this as well,

Thank goodness, I could still call a regular cab!

The taxi company says he'll be there in 10-20 minutes. 

Over 35 minutes later and 3 phones calls and he still hasn't arrived and it's getting late for the flight.

Finally, finally, he shows up and says they called up and he came from bed to pick us up. 

Wow, that's pretty amazing--I was impressed and grateful.

He get us to the airport and we run in and through security.

We head to gate 30 for our flight and the picture shows you what we came up against.

Gate 29 and gate 31 in the corner of the airport, but no freakin gate 30 anywhere in sight!

After a swing around the other corners, we finally found it.

Why gate 30 isn't after 29 and before 31, I will never understand!

Moreover, why Uber takes reservations in advance for a car, but doesn't actually arrange a driver is also a complete mystery and a very broken business model.  ;-)

Will It Drive Again

Saw this truck in the shop. 

Wondered if it will ever drive again.

Right now it looks like it's headed for mothballs and cobwebs. 

But who knows, cars in worse shape have been rehabilitated.  ;-)

Kustom Cars

What a cool car!

Engine revving and the belts and pistons turning high up in the air.

And the the rest of the car, the body, couldn't get any lower to the ground (not even John Belushi in The Blues Brothers)

As it was driving, the metal was scraping along the street. 

I wondered how it was that the pieces didn't actually pull/fall off the car. 

The thing has got to be pretty solid despite the rusty looks.

This guy was getting quite a bit of attention along the beach.

Isn't that the point. ;-)

Incredible Horses and Wagon

Wow, thought this was an incredible horses and wagon. 

I love how the artist raised the path, so you could see the difficulty of traveling like this. 

And the sculpture is so intricate and detailed. 

Truly lifelike and makes you feel the times. 

In the Wild West, like in the "Old Country" people kept chugging along, even when life was difficult and often miserable. 

Not sure how they did it. ;-)

Flintstones Car(-Like)

Why do all the mechanic shops seem to have a car, like in this photo, lying around. 

Sort of reminds me of The Flintstones Car (from the TV Show originally aired in 60s).

No motor or anything; you would just stick your feet out the bottom and you would run while in the car. 

Stone Age answer to the need for an automobile. 

Hey whatever works and no need to recreate the wheel either.  ;-)
