At the Mission Valley Mall, 1 pm... no kids in sight, but the bus wasn't open either

The 5 center windows are all on one really big lifting door, must be for a later show.

Notice the nice window treatment to appear underwater, on all the porthole windows.

And where are Nemo, Nemo's dad, and Dora?

A bit of motorcycle wisdom from Zina. 100% pure gold, that is. http://www.ducatigirl.com/blog/2005/blog2004.html May 29, 2004 post

Excellent photography and story of the restoration of a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, one of 39 made for racing, a 7million pound value

This is really exquisite in PDF form, all the magnification, color, and content of the magazine, without forking over 80 dollars a year for the subscription

Funky car that is from one of the earliest Sci Fi movies

The 1921 Rumpler Tropfenwagen, in the movie Metropolis. The movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(film) was so visually stunning it's still on a lot of top 100 important fim lists. Because it was filmed in Germany post WWI, and so many were unemployed, extras were eager to get a job at near nothing pay... and the director employed an unbelievable 26,000 men as extras, 11,000 women, and 950 children... about 38 thousand extras. I haven't seen it yet myself.

Parlez-Vous Hot Rod?

You will enjoy this brief vocabulary lesson of Hot Rod speak, which has a little twist on the conventional meanings. Very funny.

Soundtrack is hilarious, but NSFW! Humvee driving in Iraq

If it's too slow they bump them off the road, or drive up through opposing traffic

For the next 8 minutes you will hear a race car and squealing tires. Called the "Most radical car movie of all time"

http://bhendrix.com/wall/Gmaps_GVideo_Mashup_Rendezvous.html

You will see 1978 street racing, and about 2 dozen ignored red lights, one forced sidewalk jaunt, 2 wrong ways against traffic, and 4 "nearly missed the turn". But not one spin out or fish tail.

Blew my mind.

I couldn't find a larger version, but the perspective of a bumper mounted camera speeding through mostly empty Paris city streets is phenomenal! The white lines just zip past the camera, and the engine roars up through the gears constantly. Better than any hollywood chase scene.

If you know of any videos on youtube, google, etc that are even close to being this good please email me at jbohjkl@yahoo.com so I can link them here for everyone to enjoy.

If you want you can operate the google maps feature to follow the car on a map, but it ain't worth it. Just glue your eyeballs to the movie.

Claude Lelouch drove his own "Mercedes" with the camera attached to its front bumper, reaching speeds of 150 km/h (this page gives a speed breakdown) - but then the ride was repeated a week later on Ferrari to use the sound of its engine for soundtrack.

Chula Vista Tuesday night cruise on 3rd and F

Cool looking truck and Mercury highlights

1947 Dodge business coupe, which means it has more trunk than Vida

I don't usually go for this style, but this had great curves, colors, and hood ornament

Where is the largest classic American car show in the world?

Västerås, Sweden 13,000 cars were on display. Beats all the ones held in the US of A for number of cars participating
