My intended daily, a 1991 Stealth Twin Turbo. Instead it's been laid up for at least half of the 12 months I've owned it.
My long neglected 1960 Thunderbird. Hopefully 2026 will allow me to give it some love.
My reliable backup 340K mile 2001 Tundra.

Also watching, but comfortably from across the room from the windows.
Just laying his head down, little lower profile.

Asked him how he liked the new truck and he said "It's okay. A lot better than the old ones."

I highly recommend this small, hardcover book on the fantastic Art Fitzpatrick and Van Kaufman.
One of the only ad artists permitted to sign their work. One did the cars, the other the backgrounds. They worked in different cities and sent the paintings through the mail.

I had one of these Tonka metal Surrey Jeeps as a kid. It was a "grandma's house" toy, no idea what happened to it.

If you want an obscure vehicle powered by unobtainable fuel, you need a fuel cell CR-V. Plus, fantastic pearl paint.

I wanted to get all the way to the corner, but the thinset was setting up.

Our first date was "What About Bob."

Our first date was "What About Bob."
When we first met, she had no car. Some of our first "dates" were car shopping. She insisted on getting a stick, which, ironically, she wants nothing to do with today.
She bought this 5 speed 1988 Chevy Nova in the spring of 1992.
We were engaged on Halloween and married the following February.

In Ohio we can run vintage year of manufacture plates. I scored a nearly mint set of 1960 plates for my Thunderbird on ebay years ago.
