Also, did you allow for the larger imperial gallon versus the smaller U.S. gallon in the equation?

Fantastic pix!! I liked the PLRX-TV movies and the butt-hurt helo-driver!!

Sounds like something that would look better with the paint removed

I thought there were two parked side by side and didn't they have the 70's style crash proof bumpers?

If either of those were my ride it'd need something better than 5mph bumpers

Found this last night. Beautiful pics and makes me want to do something like it. While looking for unusual things in the western states I found a web site that is dedicated to off beat things to see.

Roadside America - Guide to Uniquely Odd Tourist Attractions

Remember the old Muffler Man statues? Apparently they are still all around the country, approx. 200 left. Found out there were even Muffler Women. Never knew that.

The one that I would actually like to see is the Cat House in Idaho where the story says the Madam found out the cops were going to raid the house. The girls grabbed what they could carry and left, never to come back. It is supposedly the same as the day they departed with the exception of the mannequins used to represent the girls.

Thanks for the pics.

Outstanding! Lot of fun, wasn't it. The only way to see the USA, by Corvette.

Along the same line is this site:
Eccentric Roadside

Maybe just a little weirder though.

Enough of that "Mr. Barondeau" stuff. I had enough of that when I taught high school physics, chemistry, biology, advanced biology, and earth science for 39 years. I prefer "barondeau" (notice the lowercase) or Mike for those who consider themselves close enough to tell me a dirty joke or two!

You asked for it...Mike...

Q: When do you kick a midget in the balls?
A: When he is standing next to your girlfriend saying her hair smells nice

Q: What's the difference between your job and a dead prostitute?
A: Your job still sucks!

Q: What did the hurricane say to the coconut palm tree?
A: Hold on to your nuts, this is no ordinary blow job!

Q: How does a woman scare a gynecologist?
A: By becoming a ventriloquist!
