One of the best looking cars of all time. I had a toy of one as a kid, bunched in with the other "European" die cast cars in my toy box.

If I could only have one car for the rest of my life it would be the Karmann Ghia. Its a thing of pure beauty, I find them utterly flawless.

The one my dad swapped into his beetle worked pretty good until it ejected the spark plug into the fender.

 Hopefully this conversion is not in the wrong thread. The ratchet lever is likely the brakes, the pole swings side to side for steering, and a three speed plus reverse shifter on the right with what is likely the throttle control. A flathead inline engine up front, Ford V8 branding elsewhere and a gravity fuel tank. The truck behind it seems like it was some sort of manual tipper that got stacks and an air horn grafted on. The shop had a few more interesting old cars, but most were rolling chassis with stripped interiors that would maybe only be suitable for a drag conversion due to the damage. Somehow this just seems like the absolute best way to gamble it all on any short drive.

The one in front must be some sort of an agricultural conversion. Maybe farm workers rode on the platform while hand picking something?

I found a bunch of trucking pictures from Northern Europe from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s if anyone is interested. Mostly Norway, but some Sweden and Finland as well. This truck was actually blown off the road during a storm, luckily it was parked for the night when it happened

The one in the back is a late 40s (probably a 47) International KB-8 dump truck. My father-in-law has one that he dailies on the farm. His actually needs a lot of body work, is that one for sale?

His actually needs a lot of body work, is that one for sale? Last I saw (last Friday) it was, along with the two cars barely visible past it. There are a couple more cars on the other side of the lot, nothing else quite as interesting though, and the two cars are pretty much empty rolling shells that one might be valuable if someone collects what looks like a 40's Oldsmobile and some other thing I forgot. My attention was directed at the dump truck and primarily the pickup chariot.

I'm posting this here because I lived, which is pretty awesome imo! Driving on the highway back home from a pleasant weekend yesterday, about to take an exit on a windy day and a transport ahead of me somehow kicks up a roughly 3x3 piece of what looked like sheet metal 8-10 feet in the air, which then ninja-stars at the front of my car and chops the motherfucking bumper clean in half.  Not sure what would have happened if that hit the windshield, but Final Destination feels right.

Given sufficient speed and mass, you don't need sharpness.

NoWake posted:Or given sharpness and speed... It helps that in most areas where there'd be a tornado that strong, the summer heat is enough to soften asphalt pretty well. Hell, I'm 500+ miles from tornado alley and the tar they patch cracks with got stuck to my boot soles when I stood on it in the sun for a few minutes replacing my brake pads a weekend or two ago. Still, that's impressive.

My mother had a large rock fly through her windshield (must have been going very fast as it was modern glass) and land on the (thankfully empty) passenger seat. Unsecured loads should come with jail time. Her cousin's husband was killed by a truck wheel that hadn't been properly torqued on the freeway (young son in the passenger seat), so I think my family is cursed.
