Well it rained, so maybe that "washed" the wildfire smoke out of the air? AQI is a little better but I stayed inside again. I'm used to looking at the fog and thinking "well once that burns off and the sun comes through . . . " but I don't think smoke *burns* off, LOL.

FINALLY warmed up . . . but AQI sucks and skies are all gloomy from Canadian wildfires.

"Dad, you taught me well and I thank you for that. So I know, more than anyone, you'll understand why I have to slap a contractor's lien on you!" :ROFLMAO:

Damn, ~£50 in the 1950's is some serious scratch for a lawnmower.

No, as delivered from the factory there are covers. A number of bikes "back then" that used belts saw their owners remove or alter belt covers to reveal that they had . . . belts! Guys that did chain to belt conversions on big twins would run with no or heavily vented and stylized custom...

Wow, that looks fun, like the 60's-70's Mopar palette applied to an interior. So much better than today's any color you want as long as it's black . . . presumably to better match one of the 5+ available grey paint options.

While I've never been big on white there's certain combo's I dig, first that comes to mind would be a 60's Eldo ragtop, white with white top and red leather interior; would whitewalls be too much? I'm pretty sure the answer is NO. 😁

Well that particular F12 was kind of an odd bird. What that awful cellphone pic doesn't reveal, and the actual reason I was shooting it that day, was that car had a flat tire. For a month or more, never moved - and that spot is just a hole with walls on both sides, LOL, so the tire can't be...

Wow, I'm not normally that much of a "wheel guy" and that kind of blue is really my jam but what jumps out at me . . . are those wheels! Those things are just lit up, hope that coating helps the owner keep them looking that way for a good while. Nice work.

That looks like a darker version of the "yarn-beard" a friend of mine often wears when he's out and about (he's in advertising so, you know . . . ).

You might like this F12 Berlinetta that used to park a couple spaces over from me. Terrible awful phonecam shot while walking.

I can assure you that Continental most definitely does not own Michelin. :ROFLMAO:

Love that Lotus; also reminds me how awful Illinois' front plate law is on sports cars.

Bummer, hope it ends up being easy to contain/fix. There's things about owning a house that I miss but that kind of crap is not among them.
