And now, for the black restored GT....

Oh, and a bonus. Our housing development has a long winding four-lane divided road through it. We've got our share of parents with more money than wisdom. They often over-compensate for their lack of parenting interest by buying their most precious over-indulged teenager a V8 powered Mustang, Eclipse Spyder, and even full-size SUVs. Once a month, one of these kids' self-accessment of their supurb driving skill far exceeds reality resulting in a single-car accident on this 35 mph road. Fortunately, the trees and bushes in the divider strip keep them from involving other cars in the on-coming lanes. Unfortunately, these same trees and bushes get ripped up and our association has to replace them.

So it was amusing to me, returning yesturday from the car show, to spot the viper in the photo below. There's a parent out there somewhere who is most likely filing a claim today. The other side of the car looks worse than this, but on my 3rd pass the officer gave me the eye, so I had to abandon efforts for more photos.

I think the girl standing between the officer and the man was the skilled driver involved.
