Things that go bump in your town
OK, lets wake things up a little. Let's see pictures of bumps that are parked/driving around your town. I will start getting some pictures today. I see them on the street here almost daily and know where at least 20 are parked.
What's in your area.

Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

re: Things that go bump in your town
Let me start this one .
This one is taken from my front porch as soon as I saw this thread. Belongs to the little elderly lady across the street. I tried to buy this truck when I first moved in here , probably a year or so before I found this site.
She drives it daily ,and it makes me smile everytime I hear hear her fire it up . From what I understand her late husband bought it new . She used to drive a newer Volvo and was in a wreck and totaled it several years ago, at that time the bump was loaned out to a son-in-law or something,and had been gone for a number of months. I've talked to her about several times ,even carded her . I've wanted to go over and take some good pictures of it just never have . heck i'm not even sure what year it is but think it's a '70 . more to come .

If I get into town today, I'll take my camera and a fresh CF card. I swear, I live in the Bumpside capital of the world.

re: Things that go bump in your town
I see this battered CS parked across the street from a local steel mill.I've also seen it hauling scrap on several occasions.

Here is an F600 that is for sale at a local lot.It has a nice hood but the rest of it is pretty much junk.

re: Things that go bump in your town
I'm not much on carrying a camera
But I know where several are within 20 miles of me either for sale or just sitting around.
