a 1917 car insurance pamphlet excerpts
the above has some offensive, bizarre, and obsolete info to offer as advice. Put on bumpers? Leave the lights on when parked at night?
Olelongrooffan has been posting a lot, both coverage of Nascar and LeMons
the new looks of Nascar, from John's post about the Nascar Coca Zero 400 http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-at-races-with-kid.html
and to look at the LeMons http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2011/07/at-24-hours-of-lemons.html because the cars are hilaroius to look at, and John has a lot of terrific photos of them
so enjoy John's blog, you'll probably recognize it, I've been recommending it for years http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/

Idea to ponder... variable speed limits
So it kids are around, they already have signs that tell you that you must slow to some stupid crawl speed... and if you are doomed to travel through a reputed construction zone (and we all know you'll never see any construction going on at least 1/2 the time)
So since they already have variable speed limits when it works against us, I propose that we vote in variable speed limits that make sense and that we will enjoy...

90 mph on interstates at night, there isn't any traffic, there aren't any kids wandering onto them.
highways should go from 55 to 80 at night
city streets from 35 to 55 at night
Steampunkvehicles.tumblr is on a mission to post enormous amounts of railroad inspection cars. bravo!
the above gets my vote for most elegant inspection car... those couches look comfortable
the above is the 1876 balloon car from Larkin st to Woodward's gardens, built by Henry Casebolt
get a look at the front windows, I think there are 6 tilting panels
1910 or earlier is my guess, one big old tourer, comfortable too I bet.
portable turn table, because as I just recently learned from Steampunkvehicles, the darn cars only cool properly when the air is rushing in through the radiator in the proper direction
I think the above and below are the same vehicle

Having a book made of your restoration, that is cool!
