I'm really loving these cars these days. There's just something about pre-1950's cars that they just translate into LEGO so well.

Who says little LEGO cars have to look like shoeboxes? Well, I suppose if you're trying to build a late model car the shoebox look is OK but in the early days of motoring, cars and trucks were beautiful. This '29 Ford by Elroy Davis is a real beaut. I want one, so I'm going to try to emulate this. I don't think you need to be 'in the know' concerning the LEGO hobbyist to see what a neat build this is.

I hate having to hate stuff.

No amount of Internet drama is as important to me as nearly rear-ending someone one the freeway today.
It was pouring rain today, as in start looking for an Ark, pouring rain. I'm driving down the Deerfoot (our freeway that runs the span of Calgary) and the driver in front of me drives through a puddle and the roostertail causes him/her to disappear! Amazing, crazy amazing. Anyway, the 'fraidy-cat in said car slams on their brakes and that combined with the puddle slowing them down, nearly came to a dead stop. Thank goodness we were only doing 50 kmph!
I was going to complain about this driver not having their tail lights turned on but it really wouldn't have made a difference in this situation. Still when it's raining, snowing or even a bright sunny day, turn on all your running lights...dammit!
