I was recently in Wolfsburg again, so have some more pics of the VW Zeithaus. Bonus: Pics of old East German automotive poo poo.   An old Tatra, I just love that third headlight:  Nice mirror placement:  Old Wartburg (2-stroke!) police car:  Old Barkas (same 2-stroke engine!) NVA military bus:  Pretty sure this thing is Russian:

The raised shelf of the home depot lumber cart is the same height as my El Camino's deployed tailgate. I can't imagine why anyone would prefer a modern truck.

El Caminos made perfect "shop trucks" at the motorcycle shop I worked at. The low deck makes a nice easy slope for the ramps. I guess I'd go with a Sprinter now.

I was in Ukraine a year ago, and was poking thru my photos looking for cars and discovered I did a poo poo job of shooting the cool cars I saw. I mean, "cool" by my standards, which was a lot of, "OH gently caress THAT'S A MARQUE I NEVER SEE IN THE US!" I did spend a lot of time giggling at Ladas, and I thought I had one shot of a particularly ridiculous one from a moving bus, but it's too blurry to make anything out. I did, however, manage to get a couple shots of these pickups completely incidentally, and I now want one.  (Kiev has some fantastic murals, and Trash Bag Whale is in my top 3)  Also, this was the interior of the Skoda our airport driver picked us up with. He didn't speak much English, so I wasn't able to ask him any questions, but I'm pretty sure he was either a racing driver or some kind of security driver in a past life, based on the way he maneuvered us (very, very quickly) from downtown Kiev to Boryspil.  I wanna go back
