A little inspiration...
So for years my dad would talk about this truck he had when he was a kid. A black mid 60's F100. A couple of years ago he ended up getting another one and had all these plans for it. Big surprise - it still just sits there! Well my dad is also a fairly skilled leather worker and I thought this would maybe give him a little nudge. I know it's just an interior shot, but if he would just get the project rollin' somewhere...

That's some serious windshield time...
Los Gatos, CA - Fifty nine year old Bay Area native Dave Schaub is going on the trip of a lifetime this fall. The Los Gatos, California resident and founder of Schaub's Meat, Fish and Poultry located in Palo Alto, California will set out Tuesday, September 8th to drive his 1932 Ford hot rod roadster through all 49 continental United States in just nine days. That's 9,800 miles in just 216 hours.
An experienced adventurist with many years of cross country hot rod journeys under his belt, Schaub is supremely confident he can go the distance. "I'm doing this because people said it couldn't be done and I've always wanted to find a cool way to help some kids in need," he said. "It's going to be hard. It will be the ultimate reliability run to test the mettle of me and my machine. I got excited about the whole concept a few years ago through the Iron Butt Association - a group of motorcyclists who bill themselves as the 'World's Toughest Motorcycle Riders'. They've organized several long distance rides around the country for motorcycles, but through all of my research I haven't been able to find anyone who has done all 49 states in a car in nine days. When I get road weary, I will turn my thoughts to the kids. I'm hopeful that will give me the added boost to pull it off." For each mile he travels, Schaub hopes to raise as much as $50,000 to $100,000 for the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford.
Sponsors will also have an opportunity to get involved. Schaub's black '32 Ford roadster, built in South San Francisco by the Roy Brizio Street Rods shop, will be wrapped in a vinyl cover by Yak Graphics from San Jose to carry sponsor logos and signage. Schaub made it clear that he's paying for the gas, food and lodging out of pocket. All private donations he receives will go directly to Ronald McDonald House at Stanford.
His plan is to launch from Needles, California and head southeast. Once he gets to the Deep South to the Florida panhandle, he'll drive up along the eastern seaboard, going through New England at night before heading back west picking off the Northern states along the Canadian border one by one. His biggest day will see him pick off 12 states in one day’s drive time. As he approaches the eastern edge of Washington state, he'll head north through British Columbia before hitting his final destination and 49th state with a stop in Southeast Alaska in the small town of Hyder.
To authenticate his journey, Schaub will keep a time stamped receipt for gasoline and other items in each state he visits. He will use a GPS satellite device known as "SPOT" which will allow Internet users to track his progress in real time on Google Maps through his website.

Dream truck of the week...
I have been an admirer of this truck for a few years, and when the owner stated he was going to change it frankly I thought he was nuts. I was wrong...

Dream car of the week, well not exactly...
Yeah, yeah I know it's not a car, but I did find it while searching cars on Google. This thing just looks FAST...
If anyone knows where I can find one of these or what I should be looking for - let me know!

Twilight...
So I was messing around with a pic of Shannon and created what has been dubbed the "Twilight" edit. If you are a heterosexual male I don't expect you to understand, but if you are a female between 13 - 35 you get it:
Dream car of the week...
Saw this on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Thought it would be fun to bomb around in:
