Since it's so hot , even in the mountains today , how about some old snow plow photos to look at and think of cooling off !
I'll take exhibit "C", thank you.
Yeah , I love that 63 !
The reason I saw so many classic cars today in Yakima was because it's Vintques car show this weekend in Yakima.

You weren't driving a old Mercedes , non turbo diesel were you ?.......
Why yes, sometimes I was!
Hell if I know now - or then. I just remember them being in my way. Maverick = slow, Capri = fast! And its a damn SKIRT, get your terminology right!
The Volkswagen Type 166, better known as the Schwimmwagen, shown with its canvas up and engine cover opened. The Schwimmwagen is a really cool amphibious car that was very popular among anyone who got their hands on one during the war. They had a smooth bottom, a boat-shaped body and a propeller at the rear. They were powered by a rear-mounted air-cooled boxer engine. https://militaryhistoria.com/schwimmwagen/
Still something funky with that posted image though, I say.
I think it's photo shoot lighting and staging that might be throwing things off. I think you can even see the edge of the background in the bumper. (straight line under tail light)
Here's a new to me concept vehicle from '05, the Chrysler Firepower. Built on a Viper chassis, powered by the then-new SRT8, and targeted at Corvette.
Had me until the slushbox.
The original one, particularly that engine compartment shot. I realize from the B-J listing that it, in fact, looks kind of like that, but still something off about how it looks in that first picture.

While reading up on this accident, I discovered that two wienermobiles have had accidents in my stompin' grounds of Pennsylvania. I'll chalk that up to the absolute shit roads in the commonwealth. Quote of the day, "We would not relish the responsibility of telling our boss we damaged the wiener."

The driver was probably hot dogging around showing off that big weiner to some girls and crashed. Their boss is going to give them a good grilling after that.
