Cool things we drive by every day

richlevy · 05-03-2008, 08:20 AM

I know I've passed a neat building or something that catches my eye on the way to work or on some other route. Sometimes I wonder at the story behind what I'm seeing.

This one was so cool I stopped for a picture using my cellphone.

I made sure the 'FOR SALE' sign was too small to read so that Bruce wouldn't feel compelled to add it to his collection. It sort of looks like a super sized El Camino.

Bruce could forego the astro turf and put a water bed in that one.

Why you bastard, you better post a location. Don't make me make a scene in front of your neighbors!

weird. we have one of those for sale on the side of the road near us too. it even has a cute little trailer.

It might be one of these. If it is a 'deuce and a half', then it gets 9-10 mpg, but can probably run on anything.

That might be why the guy wants to unload it for $5700 + change.

I'm guessing it runs because I can't imagine anything towing it.

I remember riding in something like this a while back. The government installed governors to prevent exceeding 55mph and we came close to overheating on a bridge.

Yes, it's an all wheel drive, deuce and a half. Virtually unstoppable, but not fun to drive, except for the shock-value/intimidation giggles.

I used to share the back of one of those with 20 or 30 guys every day. Being in the cab is a lot more fun than wooden benches on morning hemorrhoids.

Yea, not fun to ride in. Fun to drive though!
