Ok guys, enough procrastinating on this one! When the wife gets up from her nap I am going to invent some kind of story, get a picture and get this challenge put to bed! _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit.

We had to run into town and drop the Jetta off at the tire shop so here is two old coots (one with a funny squint on) and two daily driven VW old water pumpers.
Does that pass muster? _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit. (The mass media age) |

Is that at the tire shop, or the ranch?
You're supposed to get out and drive your car!
BTW, This works for the current challenge. For me at least. _________________ I have learned over the years.

Dang. I missed this. I was out of cell range the last few days.
I did camp with a former Olympian from the 1972 Olympic Games.

Both of those are solid shots!
Camping with VW's is my dream, and dropping the VW off at the tire shop will be my reality. :p |

Well that's not my driveway, can't afford nice gravel like that! And the tire shop happens to be 25 minutes from home.
I like Madmike's challenge, let's fill that one.

I would like to ask what qualifies as a muscle car? Every car on the road has more "muscle" than my beetle...
I'll go out and take a picture next to a school bus! |

You don't have to beat one. Just get a pic next to a muscle car.
But the, Beat challenge is a bit tougher.
I ran against a later model POS Vette, last fall.
Even thou it was running like shit. It still did 112mph in the 1/4.
Compared to my lowly 93MPH.
I'll beat his ass in the future!

Back about '83 I was sorting out the tuning on my turbo Rabbit, just stop in a parking lot, make a change and try it at the next set of traffic lights. Some dude in a brand new shiny red 350 4 speed Camaro IROC came sifting through the traffic to see what I was up to. When He got up next to me he goosed 'er off the lights, took me a second to react, a bit more for the turbo to spool up so he got a 3 car jump on me. Caught and passed him by a pretty good margin before we got to the next lights. He was trying hard too... he got 3rd gear rubber... didn't want a rematch it seemed...
I often wondered which dealership it went back to for warranty. "This thing's gutless! A beat up Rabbit on winter tires just blew me away!" _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit.

Wow! I thought this challenge would be filled the first day, what with all the old muscle cars that come out of the woodwork in spring...

Well, if the challenge sits for a week or so, I think you're allowed to pick another challenge! Although, I'm actually looking forward to seeing if anyone can snap a shot next to an old Mustang or GTO or something, lol |

Not that I could tell. I waived towards the house just in case. That car lives 10 houses down from me. It’s usually parked on the street.
I was walking to a concert in downtown Portland last night and saw this beautiful bug. I didn’t realize what was parked across the street until I showed Xatie this morning. A modern muscle car

Ladies and Gentlemen, up for your consideration.

This is from the first legal drive in my recovered, stolen 67.
It's been a long time coming, but I'm so happy to have it back on the road.
The rear bumper will be installed tomorrow. _________________ I have learned over the years.

No! It's a legit pic.
The car is back on the road and I couldn't be happier.
I'll bring a couple special bottles to the Bug Run.

Glad you finally have it back - what a saga. I may have to head down to Woodburn just to see it myself
