After hearing yiur horror stories,  I have decided not  to drive anymore....UBER time

Even worse because you are entrusting the driving to a stranger not knowing their skill level behind the wheel.  Driverless cars anyone?  They are so much better....lol

Use an unmarked enclosed trailer and put shovels, rakes and other yard tools in racks on the outside.

It will look like a landscapers trailer as long as you aren't pulling it with a Lincoln Navigator.

I think Kooec did something along those lines instead having bio hazard refuse signage on the trailer.

Largest racetrack in the world.  Just get out in your car and drive.  Of course I say this in jest and do not endorse going over the posted speed limit even by one mile per.

.  Well,basic speed law says as long as you are driving at a rate that is safe for the road conditions you are "good to go",so there is some "wiggle room" there.

Not all states have basic speed law. CA has 2 speed laws basic and maximum. Basic is what is safe for conditions - the cops opinion not yours (15 over posted will generally get you a ticket - 1mph over in a school zone with kids can also have the same results). The maximum speed law that says it's illegal to drive faster than 65 anywhere unless it's posted higher. Going into the canyons above Azusa/Glendora there are "end 45 mph" signs - that means you can now drive up to 65 and if the cop is happy that you and your car are safe doing it he won't stop/cite you.

Here's some Neil music to keep you happy - https://www.bitchute.com/video/rccyvkdbk8wf/

LOL!  "He sang a couple popular songs in the 18th century or something..."

A road going story into terror....

The perils of not fact checking and proof reading.  I tend to like to research the details behind every story I write because I know that there will be those in the know who will find fault should I not present accurate details.  In such circumstances, I would not find fault for them finding fault.  Besides, it ruins a good read.  Pictures are nice in this article though.

Neutron bomb?  But that would make the land uninhabitable for everyone.  Poison the water?  Naw, then it would be undrinkable for everyone.  I'm outta ideas, not that I make warranty either express or implied that any of my ideas are good.  They merely exist as ideas.  Good luck California.  I still think it was a dream when my dad and I went out there to get a Shelby waaaay back in 1994.  My eyes stung a bit as we drove down the freeway around Van Nuys I think it was (I attributed it to pollution but maybe tears of joy competed for the cause in fact), but I shook it off.  I mean we were in California, man!

Hey, that's a smart option.  Then you don't have to police your passenger (if you have a passenger) making sure they don't scratch your door.  Other way around it is to open the passenger door for them every time but these days, such a gesture might be met with outward hostility.  Tis a strange world in which we live.

I saw one in person for the first time parked next to a snack bar in the esses at Riverside May 2, 65 at the United States Road Racing Championship.

That must've been quite an impression to see one back then for the first time.  I mean cars from the 50s did not have the same look so the 65 Shelby was quite futuristic.

Shocking and saddening to see.  The last photo has a traffic sign that says "dip" as if foreshadowing things to come or things that have already happened.

I am rebuilding 6s689 as we speak, from being off the road for 50 years. I think about it all the time. Got my first one in 1981, 6s1855. Then my second,6s1297. Then my third 6s731. I only have 6s689 now though. When I see Shelby mustangs 1965-1970 my heart jumps a little. No other car has had an impact on my life.

I am totally with you. I consider myself extremely lucky to have one.  Never far from my thoughts and thoughts can come at an instant and are easy to conjure before one moves on to something else during their daily activities.

A landmark day again.
