Here we go. Once again the current challenge is all jacked up. This used to be such a simple thread to participate in. You got in your VW, drove to a location that qualified, took a picture, posted it, and named the next challenge.
What the hell happened? If this is not fun for people. Don’t play.

What’s the current challenge Steve244?

What da fark happen to his "YVWNT" part????? Confused

I think Steve is just trying to be nice to me.

My submission is the Canton Memorial Arch.
Staying with the current Georgia theme of death it commemorates all the fallen from the War Between the States through World War Two.
It rests in Brown Park in downtown Canton. The tract was donated to the city in 1894 when Mr Brown died. Park opened in 1906.

Yessssss the Georgia Theme of Death. I like it. Thanks for the great repeat challenge, xevin.

Next challenge is yours to name, Sir Geoff. Something someone from a western or northern state might manage. Or Canada.

your Ghia is gorgeous.

Would a pic of me exiting my house, with a half drank Mason jar of moonshine count for the challenge? Very Happy

JK!

Okay, I'm gunna go take a shot right now!

Beverage of choice is my morning tea. We've decided to leave the Phoenix area and move to Austin TX, so we packed as much as we could on the roof rack and the rest in the ubox and we headed out yesterday. The first shot is at our airbnb we stayed at last night.

Next Challenge, YVWNT something you've been wanting to do for a long while, or next to a challenge you overcame.

I've heard great things about Austin TX! Must be a good VW town.

Good luck on your journey. Drink lots of tea. Plan rest stops.

Bwahahaha.

Great shot, but don't you know that electric cars are "bad?!"

We made it to Austin, and drove through 6+ hours of ice storm today with no heat! Silly me, living in South FL and Phoenix AZ, I deleted the heat in favor of headers since one of my heat channels was blocked by the AC anyway... Turns out the AC is too much of a drain on my stock 1600dp anyway, and the heat would have been nice! I hope Austin isn't always this cold...

I'd take a picture of our car outside rn, because technically that's a challenge we overcame, but it's somebody else's turn! Take a picture next to your wife or something if she was ever a challenge! :p

All the vintage cars here are put away until spring along with all the old VWs but there should be plenty of both in the banana belt!

No, you define vintage, Xevin. That's the point of the challenge, silly!

Anyway, the dictionary defines vintage as: adjective; "relating to or denoting wine of high quality." Take that as you will...

Well, to be specific, another "make" of vehicle would normally imply another car brand other than VW. I am totally digging the bus collection you have there, though! Especially that 80's westfalia, that's one of me and my wife's dream cars there. One day...
