We had a great sunny day in Western Oregon today.  64 degrees.  Awesome day! 

Full moon tonight so I went to my favorite photo spot and tried to capture some sunset and full moon photos with the car.   

Fun, but I really need to step up to a new camera.  Enjoy, but remember I am not a photographer and have absolutely zero skills.  With the right equipment these photos would be so much better.   I am just still amazed that I can get the car out this late in the year. 

I plan to take it out tomorrow too.  8)

Great photos.  I am liking those torque thrusts...

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Hi Brian,  Love the pictures.  Are these Torque Thrust II's.  They are different that Torque Thrust D's?  How many Torque Thrust versions are there?

Thanks

Thank you for the kind comments.  I appreciate it.   :)


We had another amazing day today.  Sunshine and 65 degrees in November is very rare here for this time of the year!  I just got back from a 75 mile trip to "get the mail" (we have a PO box in town.)  Normally it takes 25 miles round trip.....   Daylight savings time started today and the dark made me turn for home, otherwise I would have racked up a few more miles.  ;D




Cory, - - I think there are many different versions of the five spoke Americans.  After years of searching swap meets I have seen various versions in the spokes and extra detail on the rim.  Did you see this brochure?

My favorite are the sharp peaked spokes.  I am not huge on the Torq Thrust D (just my personal taste), but they still look good on a lot of cars.
