Light Poles and Fire Hydrants

I have a buddy that had the unfortunate circumstance to take out an NES (Nash-Vegas Electric Service) light pole a year or so ago with his Jeep Cherokee. They, NES, magnanimously (ha) set him up an account whereby he he can pay them in monthly installments for the replacement of said light pole. Light poles, by the way, are pretty damned expensive! He said that now he kind of feels like it's his light pole. Said he might like to put a plaque on it that says, "This Light Pole Compliments of So and So". Interesting, what?

In talking with our buddy Peter D. a couple days ago he told me about a crazy uncle of his that owns three (!) fire hydrants in Worcester, Mass. Yep, he killed 3 fire hydrants. He killed two of them with a Hudson Hornet, the other with a Ford Galaxy 500.

And, I'm sure with lead-sleds like that them fire hydrants were well and truly killed.

If Webster's did indeed list a definition for "twat" ( Jeez, I just checked and, holy shit, they do! ), it would be accompanied by a picture of Kyle Busch in his lame porn-star glasses and a bottle of N.O.S. drink with the label turned so's you can always read it.

How in the world someone on his team doesn't just bitch-slap his punk-ass is completely beyond the realm of sanity.

Cruised over to the Nissan headquarters in Franklin on Saturday to check out the National Z Car Show. Not really much for one marque shows (unless they're Mustangs!), but this was a bit more interesting than I had thought it would be. There was an amazing amount of cars, many from Canada, California, Maine, you name it. They estimated over four-hundred, and I'd hasten to say there were probably many more than that. Not many trailer queens at all, literally only a hand-full.

There were extremely un-restored stockers, street modifieds, Z cars with small block Fords or Chevys stuffed in them, and many for real race cars. There was the 1994 300ZX that raced at Le Mans.

This particular Z here is serial number 0013. It is the first ever Z car to set tire in the U.S.A. in 1969. It had disappeared for over thirty years and resurfaced in storage in Connecticut last year. Pretty amazing.

I almost hate going to shows like this, because it always gets the wheels to rolling in my feebed out brain, wondering if I might need a project, you know?
