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

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.

Race cars are for sale, here's a Pantera and a McKee

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
