Ok Saturday we were coming home from the children's museum, past Indianapolis motor speedway, hit lynhurst (for those of you that know the area) and going the opposite way there is a two seater Indy car on a public road. I was like wtf had to take a double take. Didn't get a photo because it happened so fast. There is no way these things are street legal

I saw an idiot hauling a 20 ft service pole down the rd today. Funny thing about it was that the pole was sitting on the bed rails sideways and another idiot was sitting on the pole. #Stupid

It was definitely not street legal. It was like one of these

They do rides at the track. Its a few $$$ for a few laps. Buddy of mine did it over the 500 weekend with Mario Andretti driving he had a blast.

Years ago and I mean years ago, we had a drag car display at Legend City in Tempe AZ after a day of doing that they were having a nut jump some school buses at the baseball field around the corner, and they wanted our cars in the background, so we just started up the door slammers and drove them around to the ball field on the city streets, we had a 70 bb Camaro, and one of our buddies had a 72 Pro Stock Camaro and we went around there side by side it was great.

The best thing was when we got the cars on the ball field where they wanted them the school bus drivers could not get the buses close enough together for the motorcycle rider so they came over and asked us if we could drive the buses and get them closer together!! Of course we could. :jester:

There was a guy here in town that built a top fuel dragster in the late 80s/early 90s. Got it out one night on the main street through the city, pulled up to a red light, and when the light turned green, he lit it up. Went about a 1/4 mile or so, and eased it into a parking lot, with the police right behind him.

I always see women in the passenger seat with their feet up on the dash but last month I saw one with her right foot up on the dash while driving.

 

She was painting her toenails.

Might come back with something else later, but first weird thing that came to mind was a heavy hauler with something loaded Luke a small building, not much bigger than a large shed. Must have been heavier than heck, because the hauler had 74 wheels on it. Yep. 18 axles, 4 wheels each plus two steer axle tires. It was on the interstate, moving right along.

As real as can be. It looked like a good job of puttin it together, the only one I have ever seen!!! Had OK plates on it, but I don't know where it was from. :jester:

Drove next to a guy on the highway while he was reading a novel on the steering wheel, was with him for about a mile....he NEVER looked up......

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
