roosevelt for president

saw this car toward the end of the day at the azalea festival. found my better half there, already chatting up the owner.

if i remember correctly [better half can correct me if i'm wrong], he'd bought the car from some really old guy he knew. so old, there was a roosevelt for president sticker on the window. can't remember if it was just stashed in a garage for years before it was sold, but wow.

i think he said he fixed the car up, got it running again. said he took back to visit the really old guy, who was so happy to see that the sticker had been kept in place on the window. after so many years, it just belongs there.

barney

saw this thirty-eight in chino. kinda beat up. kinda awesome.

owner said it was found in a barn in ohio. he bought it recently, for what seems like a real deal, considering that it basically was still running as found. eventually, he plans on fixing it up, but i really hope not. liking it as he found it.

javier's hot potato

it got pretty hot in the afternoon on saturday in chino. had to take a few breaks and hide in the shade. days like that make me want some sort of air conditioned/cold water suit to wear, sort of michelin man looking. that, or just wear shorts and a bikini top, but then i'd just burn up in the sun.

this is one of the cars i found early in the morning, parked on the shady side of the street. good thinking...did you scope it out the day before?

i've seen this car before. it's javier's car; says so on the tag. and he introduced himself as javier too, so let's just call him javier. :)  and it's a tan color, sort of like a potato, so just go with it. i'm running out of title ideas. lol.

he asked me about how to get a picture. easiest is to send me an email, and i'll upload it to my print vendor site, and you can either order direct from there, or i can make other arrangements for ordering and delivery. if javier happens to be looking for this one, he can find it here.

this looks a little dark on my screen here. i'll have to check it out somewhere else. might have to tweak it a bit more.

la sucia

i have a headache. maybe i'm a barometer...its going to rain. took a walk uptown, to grab some lunch. bunch of motorcycles, and the blue and white at the cigar bar. maybe more will show up later, so i'll go for another walk.

liked this fleetline. well, i like fleetlines in general. liked the simple pinstripes. owner moved a hat out of the way in the back window, probably so i could get a clean shot of the plaque. thanks.

pinky swear

we were heading back toward the car and spotted this car across the parking lot, across the street. definitely bright and sparkly enough to stand out.

lots of bling and too much of everything. all the chrome engraved, airbrushing, glitter, pinstriping and pink. pink. pink is for chicks. i'm a chick, but hate pink, and that's just me.

but it was an interesting amalgamation of skills.

take a walk

quick post. how many more from this show should i show now? maybe save others for later, as usual? liked the pinstriping and chrome on this hood.

trying a change of attitude this year. at home and at work. gotta de-stress somehow. starting to take some walks again, get away from my desk. cut way back on my favorite caffeinated beverage, drink more water.

better half gave me a big bag of m&ms and other candy for xmas; ex gave me a bag of swedish fish candy. fish are gone; haven't opened the m&ms. ex is just being nice; i suppose my better half has selfish reasons to keep me fat and happy.

i'm tired. and i want a coke.

unbelted

another pontiac. kinda wish the hood ornament was crackled. it looks too new.

guy on the motorcycle reflected in the paint, was on the phone calling anybody and everybody. the belt on his bike was broken, and laying on the ground nearby. trying to get someone to help him out here. i think he was on his way to vegas, or maybe one of his bros was coming from there.

anyway, in the sea of music, he got off his phone, and cranked up his own tuneage. 

i can only assume someone got him a belt, but i bet it was a long wait.

our neighbor is an ahole

ya, the guy is a jerk. i don't even know him. he's recently taken up playing real heavy bass, butt-thumping music very early in the morning. and it's not even good music, just some techno shit. today is sunday, and he started around eight a.m. he's a middle-age, wanna be college frat boy.

so i'm sitting here with my earphones on, running breaking bad, so as not to hear his stuff. i think he finally shut the stuff off about ten, but everybody else here is still sleeping.

-----

saw several pontiacs at the show the other day. love the hood ornaments. pretty sure i've shot this one elsewhere, if i look through my files.

goddess

hood ornaments. love'em.

this one is apparently known as a flying goddess. seems more like a nekked superwoman.

duck, i'll shoot

hood ornaments. love'em. what can i say?

this duck has teeth. wtf?
