The Driving Thread

Santa Monica Boulevard, WE LOVE IT!

 

Here's the whole enchilada at a stoplight in West Hollywood.

Ate Green Eggs and Ham at Joey's because I've never had a Seussian breakfast or eaten at a place called Joey's, or even know a Joey, so I thought it'd be cool.

It was one of the best breakfasts I've ever eaten.

If I could get one of these as a "Resto-Mod", original body work and interior with today's engine, safety, convenience, that would be awesome. I mean I love the look of the old 'Vette but I don't enjoy that ride anymore.

 

1966?

That little nerf bar is no good.

Likewise not crazy about those fatty rumbler exhaust extensions. The original dish wheels are nice, tho.

Once dated a guy who drove a dark red, 69(ish) Corvette with t-tops. It was a fun ride. But that was almost 30 years ago and it was a lot easier for me to haul my ass out of those low slung seats.

 

Go, Fullerton State Titans!

This is my dad. I think it's hilarious that his main winter coat is his Army field jacket he was issued in boot camp when he was drafted in 1961. It's funny because he can still wear something he fit in six decades ago, and it's awesome that a jacket made six decades ago is still in excellent condition.

 

Every so often I pass this baby on the night walk.

At the tail end of this morning's walk ... @Azrael probably loves that wannabe spoiler.

 

The Porsche uberwing is superfluous on a street car - especially since it already has one. Note the small whale tail just below it.

Likewise the ground effects on a street car are a sort of nonsense. Especially at 14 mph. https://la.curbed.com/2019/5/6/18531505/405-widening-traffic-los-angeles-carpool-lane

That said, if the desire here is to trick one out like the GT racers do, mission accomplished.

Clean those whitewalls.

No quibbles.
