Winter blues, so I went through the summer's car pix (6 photos)

I don't think I can hold a camera still enough in NE Ohio this winter so I had to review the days when grass was green, Sol was high, and it was the skies that were blue.

I'm a car guy and I see auto design as a compromise between artists, engineers, and bean counters. Once in a while form wins over function, and the accountants let one slip through the budget cracks. That's when a camera is handy.

These are a few of my favs:

A long ride home

Old Skool Mike.

MG Three

Self-eclipse

Bonded in chrome

Could use a little more bass

Notice how the windshield is taped on.

The MG 3 was a favorite car to bring back to the US after the war. They might have been the cars that started the post war sports car craze.

My dad did custom and vintage upholstery. I was exposed to cars and car people. There were two cars that stand out, a 1904 Renault, and a T35 Bugatti.

And I know nothing about cars other than I want all tires to be inflated. I do have a sense of beauty and composition and understand and appreciate it in others like yourself as you show us these gorgeous and soulful creations.
YES
And thanks.
