| This Ford Explorer disproves the theory that suburbanites never take their SUV "off road." |  |
| This must be one tasty old Volvo! |  |
| This truck belonged to one of the workmen during our rennovation. He did not understand what I meant when I asked if he ever considered what would happen if he hit a car (like my BMW in the background) broadside. |  |
| And what part of "This vehicle makes wide right turns" don't you understand? |  |
| Was this person "Employee of the Month" at IKEA because he was so successful he could afford a S-class Mercedes? |  |
| Yep, it's a dual small-block Chevvy V-16. Only in CA! |  |
| Ouch! |  |
| One day, while attending a farmer's market in Escondido, I wandered into an antique store. In the back of the shop, under a cabinet, I found this. It's a 1/4 scale Ferrari GTO engine - it's almost 2 feet long! It was one of 500 made by Terzo Dalia from Scandiano, Italy. Unfortunately, it's not one with the complete internals - but who can complain. It sure makes a wonderful display model! Here is a larger photo. |  |
| What's this? BMW chose the BMWCCA's Oktoberfest in Pasadena to introduce the new M5 to the US market. |  |
| What happens when you turn two nuts loose on a racetrack with a half-million dollar Porsche? They find new ways to get on the evening news, albeit in the obits. Into the wall at an estimated 150 mph. This is why I don't instruct at track days any more! (Poached NBCnews photo.) |  |
