I remember reading how Steve Juliano had collected three of the four Rapid Transit Plymouths, the '70 Duster, the '70 Road Runner and the '71 Road Runner, and had them all restored. He wanted Bob Larivee, who designed them, to come out and autograph the three Rapid Transit cars with a silver Sharpie to sign on the blacked-out engine compartments.  So he brought Bob to his building housing the collection and makes Bob wait outside until he turns on the lights.  It’s a big presentation for the father of these cars to be re-united with his children. Bob comes in and Steve hands him the pen, Bob looks around at the dozen cars in there, 3 are Rapid Transit cars and the other 9 are bone stock, and Bob looks around again and goes, “Which ones are they?”

I follow a group that tracks the hybridization of different bass species and posts pictures in the group ever Wednesday to see if people can ID them. This was last week's. On the left is a regular smallmouth bass, the one on the right is an Alabama bass, well outside of the native range.

That's beautiful. I saw a hand built Tucker at the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2008 (I think it was '08). It was in Englishtown, NJ. There was a real one there as well. They were on display next to each other. It was pretty amazing.

I saw this '56 De Soto on an episode of Full Custom Garage, do you know if it's a one off or factory built.  I've seen others, but those were clearly custom.

Truck stops, I think.  A Marathon station catering to trucks opened up some gas pumps so we stopped there for gas, and they had that sign out front.  We tried the pizza once.  It seemed like frozen pizza, no better than grocery store frozen pizza.

Almost certainly a well done Photoshop of a 911 and Fastback

1969 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback _05 crop

Why does the Fastback exist? Not really sure.  It's essentially a Bug with a bigger trunk.

I luuuuuuurve fastbacks. I think they're really good-looking cars, at least the early ones, while the hood still tapered down nicely to the front.
