Remember the "Hemi Under Glass" exhibition drag car from the 60's/70's?
Original driver Bob Riggle (80 in this clip) and Jay Leno go for an unexpectedly wild ride during shooting for "Jay Leno's Garage". Neither were hurt. Leno kept his sense of humor. I am hoping beyond hope that that was not the original Hemi Under Glass.

I don't think I want my car doing that. I'm trying to keep it going straight.

Reminds me of the fork lifts with the wacky wheels.

in 1909 a race with professional/experienced drivers from NYC to Boston was won in 12 hours. Lots of mud, some DNFs,
and one pedestrian fatality.  It wasn't until 1916 the first coast to coast road was built, The Lincoln Highway, and very little of that was paved outside of cities. Wiki says it started in NYC but it actually started in Boston. A few years later it became US route 30 in most states, the route was changed to go through NYC and Philly before turning west again.  It wasn't until the mid 50's that Ike's Interstate System got started.

Spied in the neighbor's driveway a while back:
It's built on a VW van chassis.

I found this...thing...out in the county the other day:
Road/power line/gas line right-of-way trimmer, I reckon...30 feet long, rear-steer, 4wd, extendable boom.  And an extremely roll-over-protected tractor. I actually laughed out loud when I saw this. Overkill much?

probably the roll over protection is secondary to the protection from the zinging saw blade at the end of a forty foot boom.

Or perhaps to protect the driver from slapback from tree branches while mowing?

The US Army motor pool in Germany. Wonder what happened to them? Melted down to become BMWs?

Wow. Inside-the-wheel suspension, among other things:
