I found a great tumblr today, perfectly named, and has great content . . Time Wasting Machine.tumblr.com

 I don't know if that above is a Corsair or Mustangf

among the many wow photos, the above airport VW is pretty damn cool. Just another example of the VW being the most utilitarian customized car and van since the model T

Rail gun... German, WW2, and ginormous

 that is a great way to pillow the car!

wow, great idea for a bridge paint job, and what a opportunity for Lego to get free advertising!

already eye catching, the stretch and blue light really are knock ou

 the above is going to be a huge problem and not end well. There is nothing that is going to stop the tire from coming in, washing out under the tires of the truck and trailer, and no way that is going to get towed out with less than a Caterpillar D-9

Shocking one-way contraflow cycling

As everyone knows -tax dodging cyclists love to cycle the wrong way up one way streets -streets put in by an anti-motorist council to make cycling more "convenient" than driving.

Once these tax-dodgers get used to contraflowing, they end up using those routes even when they drive a car -or in this case, a coach -as seen here in Fishponds.



Before anyone says "how do we know this coach driver is a cyclist?" -the answer is obvious. Only cyclists go the wrong way down one-way streets, so this driver is a cyclist.

Good stuff and humor from Empistyler.blogspot.de

I think the VW vehicles must have been 2nd in all time cars made that were used in every possible way the owners could find to make them more useful, right after the Model T

last because it's alphabetically at the end, is the Zombie bus. Takes a lot of bullets, still runs

from the movie Almost Famous. It's a really good movie, and gives a good look at was like for a rock band on the road in the early 70's. Watch Rock of Ages after that, and see another good rock and roll story

Touch a Truck, an annual and growing event that raises funds, and kids interest in big rigs, semi's, and trucks has grown to the point that it happens in the Qualcomm stadium parking lot now

This family-friendly car show is a sure hit with kids and parents alike, as all the vehicles are open for you to climb in and honk the horn! From the Wells Fargo Stage Coach to Robosaurus, military vehicles to monster trucks, Harley's to HumVees, classic cars to emergency vehicles, big rigs to construction rigs. Touch A Truck will please your palate, too, with 20 gourmet food trucks, an old fashioned bake sale, lemonade "experience", and more

This is Robosaurus! I didn't get there early enough to catch it in action, I had a car show I was at before this years Touch a Truck.. some days there are more than one car show to see.

The jungle gym  bus interior

The Boogie Brothers Blues Band was pretty good! I liked them, and their playlist, though I doubt the kids were able to hear the music.. the kids were HYPED up!
