the coolest hot rod dentist/orthodontist office you're likely to see




 


 learned about it on http://fifties50s.blogspot.com but got these photos from the dr's post on the HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=577234

of get to the Dr's website if you aren't anywhere near Conway Arkansas to stop by and see DJM Orthodontics http://www.djmortho.com/

Way back when the US Post Office was profitable, they had mobile post office railcars processing mail while between towns


 as rare that a mail car is, there is another in this same county... in the Escondido Grape Day Park

stupidest thieves of the week... could not steal a Z06 Corvette because they didn't know how to operate a stick shift

The aspiring carjacker didn’t know how to start Bean’s car, a 2002 Millennium Yellow Z06 Corvette. (The car, used, sells for about $19,000.)
"The guy started screaming at me, 'How do I start the car?'" Bean told WKMG. Finally, the other guy, still holding Bean at gunpoint, hollered back, “It’s a stick!”
“I had to tell him four different times that you have to push in the clutch because it’s a standard transmission,” Bean told myfoxorlando.com.
The two assailants – Bean said they were handsome young men -- ultimately ran away with his phone, wallet and keys. The wallet, he said, was special because his wife made it.
“My first thought was I guess we don’t have driver’s ed in school anymore because no one knows how to drive a stick,” he told myfoxorlando.com. “And my second thing was, ‘Don’t shoot me because you can’t start the car! I am trying to help you out here.’”

Southern Pacific 2353, restored in the 1990's, was running and used in movies from 1996-2000









Pacific Railway Museum in the middle of nowhere















Something about the stark contrast of the above struck me













I pretty much just saved you 15 dollars. Unless you want to visit the middle of nowhere and see these trains in person. They're cool, but... 15 dollars, and gas to find this place 15 miles off the freeway
