@stanleyroberts.bsky.social I saw this "RETIRED" out of state vanity plate coming back from the Electrify Expo in Alameda. Given the full limo blackout window treatment on this vehicle and whoever it was was driving like a jackass, what are the odds this plate was real? #BehavingBadly

While at the Saratoga car show I experienced this interesting engine. Look closely - ITS ELECTRIC! I am sure there will be more to come as I follow up on this #EV8

Learning quite a bit too much about old Flathead Fords lately while working on my 34 Ford Cabriolet. Still dont know what 24 bolt version or year of my engine is but its not looking good during disassembly. Next step, remove the heads. ACK!

A couple of photos from the 2025 Saratoga California car show. They block off several blocks of State Highway 9 through this picturesque town for this show.

In the US we had a "special edition" of the Datsun B-210 called The Honey Bee. Basically just a stripe along the bottom of the door for the most part

I LOVE this time of year when the local car shows begin to bloom.

I always liked the car shows that gathered to gather and BS or gathered to support things or both. The Santa Cruz Woodies are one of the shows in Santa Cruz California in June that stands out.
