If you've ever been to Bristol, Tennessee you may have heard of Rt. 421, or The Snake as it's called. It's basically a lesser known Tail of the Dragon. It is a very loving fun and dangerous road. It travels over 2 mountains and through a valley in between. In the middle of the valley is a 4 way intersection with a store, The Snake Shop. They sell fuel (Snake Venom, the grades are snake themed as well) and have a room devoted to pictures and pieces of bikes/cars that couldn't hack it. It's a really awesome little place in the middle of an absolutely beautiful area. Anyway, they have this parked out front.

Crank driven, front mount superchargers with reversed cylinder heads were almost a thing back then. The superchargers more so.

I passed a bunch of those cars on my way back from Vegas around like June 10th or something this year. There was also a Veyron in the group.

      I wish it said "Sprinter Previa" in the same font instead, but that's nitpicking. I need to own one of these vans someday, but finding them in decent condition, let alone not rusting into a fine powder, is near impossible in the north.

This is the most common car in the city of Los Angeles. Most of them are beat to hell, but they are everywhere and rust free! I usually count 13-15 each day on my way to and from work. I ran across these one day this summer:  And these were right across the street:

No picture, I'm afraid, but I just saw a guy street-parking in Knightsbridge, on a Friday night, in the pissing rain, in a Ferrari. F40.

  Now, if you really wanted, you could get an M54 5-ton or M123A1C 10-ton, put a pickup in the back of that, and then put an experimental class airplane or smart car in the back of THAT. I suggest keeping an eye out for bridges and low telephone lines, however.

gently caress me, thats gorgeous. Ive been toying around making the center of a tattoo chestpiece along those lines, if I could find a head on timing gear set for a 917 thatd seal the deal.
