One of the benefits of having a camera with me at all times is that from time to time I have been able to photograph some very interesting vehicles.

This poor Ford truck looks like it narrowly escaped some sort of explosion or was used to film a terminator movie or something. It’s really pulling off that post apocalyptic look.




I wonder where the gang is headed?

#1: WTF
#2: Looks well done, if odd.

Heh. The neighbor across the street from my old house had a Mystery Machine van like that.

that looks like my buddys pickup truck back in the day but we would have had bucket seats and a cooler full of beers in the back

Wonder if this is the same pickup truck on the news ...

Growing up in the 50s and 60s ... I dig the van !

I once saw a dually pickup truck with an inner rear wheel on one side and and an outer rear wheel on the other.

Just drove up behind a jeep with 42" super swampers today. No fender flares, full tire outside the vehicle factory fenders. No mudflaps, nothing. Not only did it look stupid, but illegal.

Yesterday in downtown Charlotte

Hmmm. Good lord.

Yeah I notice and am careful not to make eye contact with some of these folks. Situational awareness or hypervigilance is important.

Stickman, any idea what is the tall thingy sticking up out of the back corner of that old Ford?

That tall thingy is a hoist

Good eye David. Yeah it looks like some kind of hoist. That truck was one of the roughest looking vehicles I’ve seen on the interstate in a long time.

My wife and I were driving on I-80 through Cheyenne a couple of days ago when a small Jeep SUV merged onto the highway next to us. It may have been a Renegade, but it was in that hideous safety green color. My wife said, “Who would ever buy something like that?” Well, as a matter of fact I knew someone. She trained in Tai Chi with me. I remember the day she drove up to class in it-—brand new. I couldn’t bring myself to comment, at all.

Driver must be hoisting up barrels of waste oil or tires, scrap metals as the box is plum destroyed.. . Looks like it has some kind of a down rigger under its rear for balance when lifting heavy items.

That Ford looks like it was rode hard and put away wet for much of its life.

Some of the new cars today are so hideous, I wonder if the driver had lost a bet.

#1 looks like someone started using a loader to fill it with something. Probably made quite a bit of money with it and is ahead in the game.

1. That NO SMOKING nonsense while I pump gas is for suckers.

2. Zoinks!

Here's a few I have taken in my neck of the woods:








I have another that I can't seem to find. It started as a minivan, then was turned into some sort of convertible doorless dune buggy sort of deal.
