Vanity plates are narcissistic

is it ironic that a Corvette has this license plate?

Hello Kitty and I Got Hoes... try and make sense of those bumper stickers on the same car

Somewdays you see the strangest stuff on the drive home... always carry a camera

The first time I've seen yellow brake lights... stupid people are out there sharing the road with us... look out!

Our Gang / Little Rascals made this terrific taxi... donkey powered, a pusher really, with innovation in everything it does

 the license plate is a 1917 New York

  the below plate is a 1927 California plate

 

 The driver heard a yell for a taxi, and he reaches up to activate the brake to slow down

 below are the many different controls the driver has, you can see he pulls the choke (this was a real thing before advanced carbuerators, it allowed the carb to run better by adjusting the amount of air running through it "Choking" the air supply, creating a vacuum that made the fuel metereing circuit run richer )

 and here you can see how the mule power is stopped... they close off the food that mule eats. No food, and the mule stops walking toward it. When the lid is lifted, the food is available, and the mule walks toward it, moving the taxi

the fuel level indicator was a float on the water supply of the mule.

Meanwhile in the engine bay, Farina (the black kid before Buckwheat) is making engine noise by rolling a cam against the "ingine" stick

 Here you can see Farina in the engine bay... with a pump, starter, that ingine, and the radio

 When they pulled the radio string, Farina started singing, saying he was Tony Wons... I happen to have a donzen books by Tony Wons... and was surprised to hear this. It places the movie from 1929 to 1943 I think, as that is the last year of Tony Wons' scrapbook I have. They are very good

 After singing he played the kazoo

 You can almost make out the paddle that smacked the mules butt, and made him walk faster. It's hinged at the top of the spare tire pile on his back, at the upper left corner of this photo

 Above is the "Fare Master" that indicated how many pennies they were charging to go to a destination

Spanky's ambulance

Spanky is holding a funnel to his mouth and is making ambulance siren sounds

Alfalfa's soapbox cart

It even has a hood ornament, I can't make it out though

Toyota Tuna

Found this southbound on the I-15

Parking where you don't fit in

Not really a compact car... but seeing expensive cars parked anywhere they'd prefer doesn't surprise me

Don't try to get original tires for a 76 Mustang Cobra II... they are 533 apiece. Not total... that would be 2132 total plus tax and delivery

I found on http://www.hagerty.com/?utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_medium=email&utm_term=&utm_content=Client&utm_campaign=Hagerty%20News-September  a side bar question for the concierge, that a guy wanted help finding the right tires for his 76 Mustang Cobra II.

between a 195 and a 205/70/13 .. and the reply was that they are $533 apiece, http://www.hotrodhanks.com/products/tires/searchType/category/tireCategory/radial/tireSize/205_SLASH_70-13?utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_medium=email&utm_term=&utm_content=Client&utm_campaign=Hagerty%20News-September
and with 4, they are worth more than that car.

the Beau James, 1975 GMC truck. What idiot thought that was a good name to increase sales? Could have been the ad guy competing against the "Gentleman Jim"
