OK, to wrap up some more pics I took in the States ...
Heading down to Cape Canaveral, I came across a convoy of 6 or 7 trucks with some modular building/machinery on them, each with 2 cars with them ... OK, that itself wasn't to remarkable, but them SOBs ran down the interstate at 75mph, passing everything in sight ... [img]/files/75mphWideload.jpg[/img]

Ever wonder what else you could do with a Chevy V8?

Anybody need an SUV with lots of space, and I mean lots of space? Well, get one like this one:

Personally, I think this is an abuse of a classic car ... cool none the less:

Wonder how fast it is on the quarter ...

And finally, another car I would have loved to put a RiceCop ticket on:

How is that abuse of a classic car? That's what they were made for... :D

BTW, trucks rule the highways in the states, unlike here, where they're the slowest..

Just a Grand Am ... ~700 bucks for the approx. 4 weeks ... upgrade to full size would have been another 200 ... they did have some 'bird convertibles I think, but with all the stuff I had with me, I was concerned of where to put it all in a 'vert ...
