Bruce Willis has driven and flown about everything in the movies, from Tom Mix Duesenburgs to a 1968 Satellite station Wagon

 Above, Duesy with other cars on the curb just adding to the era correct look...
Below, Bruce stretched out in the Packard waiting for James Garner to get to the car

 Above images from the movie "Sunset" with Bruce Willis and James Garner playing Tom Mix and Wyatt Earp

Bottom image from the movie Moonrise Kingdom

like the vehicles in the movie "Planet 51" these amusement park ride / carnival ride cars are round, and cool (from the Pink Panther movie)





it's all fun and games... Nitro Circus

Nitro Circus the movie, Travis Pastrana and his merry band of idiots see how close to the hospital their bikes, base jumps, busses, tricycles, big wheels, etc etc can get them as they keep trying to do stupid things like jump from one building rooftop to the next, or get pulled up a waterslide by a rope being spun away from land by the back tire of a Harley attached to the top of a boat. Stupid, and that's an hour I'll never get back. The above scene of a dozen motorcycles, a Polaris atv, a Baja truck, and a Monster Truck was pretty cool, and filmed by about 5 cameras from different angles.

If you've been to see Metal Mulisha, you'll understand what these people CAN do, but if you've seen a Jackass movie, you'll understand what they're trying to accomplish with a movie. Make money, not impress you with bike jumps and tricks

a City of Los Angeles bus, very early 10 door example... anyone know what it's story is? Los Angeles is on the front window

looks 1920's to me. Wood rims, 2 spare tires due to horse shoe nails being common problems

These S Holes can't be bothered to park their cars anywhere but as close as possible to the store, even at the extent of parking across 2 spots

the Audi is the most obvious, but the Ford truck isn't innocent here, it's causing no one to be able to park next to it without being sure they'll get damaged by it's reversing out of the parking spot. The Audi could have parked honorably under the sign though. Jack wagons is what R Lee Ermy calls them

Hurry to your magazine rack or drugstore, Street Rod Premium just hit the stands, and the next issue doens't happen til next June

This is a damn good magazine, and in the same level of cool as Motor Trend Classic, and Rodders Digest... you'll like it, maybe even love it like I do

Scout NY finds cool stuff all over Manhattan




the building at 20 Exchange Place was built in 1930-31, and has a tribute to coinage and transportation among the exterior art deco pieces http://www.scoutingny.com/?p=5884
