1940 mercury
i've seen this car before. probably at chicano park.
i was chatting with a car owner when i spied this car drive by at the end of the lane. he off-handedly mentioned that the merc owner had driven up to city of industry from san diego. that'd be about a three hour drive on a good day. but on a friday, it must have been hellish.
gave me more hope that this frisco's show was worth the effort to get here. having the previous show shut down before it had barely got off the ground, definitely was a good sign.
but what if this guy drove all the way the eff up here, just to have to leave?
i guess it was a gamble he was willing to make. i did not hear that the authorities shut it down after we left, so he lucked out.
i bet he has plenty of friends to hang out with as a back up anyway. nice car, no problem meeting people, i suppose.
rained a bit today. predictions put it at eighty percent chance of rain all day saturday and sunday, so i guess my weekend outings are off. shows may be on, rain or shine, but my lenses don't like rain that much. maybe i'll actually pack up my camera that crapped out on me last summer, and send it in for repair. does me no good as a paperweight.
