    fussy britches

    t buckets

    t buckets are interesting beasts. they're old, but you'd never know it, they way they're polished up and perfect. all angles and chrome and wire rims. much too fastidious or should i say meticulous? not a bad thing, but i think you'd have to be a little ocd to keep this type of ride this clean and spotless. not for me, but thanks for letting me park my tripod in front of them.

    gots balls?

    ford hot rod

    getting late, so i won't say much here. i'm always fascinated by these big engines and wonder why the balls in the pipes? so birds don't nest in them?

    this one practically has a crown of pipes, at least from this angle. i just want to take those nerf balls out and have a water ball fight...it's been so hot lately. i think those were parking tickets plastered all over the windshield, but i don't know what the point was. maybe if i look at the large size again, i'd see what the joke was. and i love the table full of puckerbutts watching...can practically read what's going through their minds: "what in the world is she doing? why is she doing that? am i in the picture? go away..."

    ever have one of those days, when stuff you said got taken all wrong and everyone is pissed at everyone else? well, i just had one; glad it's over, and man, my head hurts from even trying. i'll try harder not to care, and go back to being the wallflower that i naturally am, watching and silent in the background. geez.

    rat fink needed

    1923 ford model t

    i swear i had a toy car that looked similar to this when i was a kid. it was purple and came with a little plastic rat fink, and who usually "drove" the car in my kid play. he was the shit.

    this hot rod '23 ford model t (guessing) is the shit too. check out the detail on the engine here and here. this guy either loves this car or really needs to get some. maybe that's the point?

    been working too many hours, and hoping to make it to the broiler tomorrow...

    twins, basil...

    hot rod

    i found this in my old ’hood, at the TGIFridays in rancho santa margarita. i guess they used to do a car show. this was when i was really just starting this stuff last year. only went a couple of times; both times not much there, and then it dropped off the radar.

    anyway, i don't know what the heck it is, yeah, it's custom all right. look at me, look at me. so, does it go twice as fast? is it a spare? why not do three? is he compensating? wonder where he drives it. at least it didn't have those rubber or metal boy bolts hanging off the back underneath. those are just stupid. lol.

    just made me laugh. otherwise, i guess it would be a cool car.
