Kiev subway construction railcars... that's a new variation I've never come across
Makes sense that the easiest way to get concrete into the subway where you need it is with a mixer truck... but I'd never thought about it.. from http://englishrussia.com/...
What would you make a former diesel locomotive put onto a missile launcher chassis for? Mobile KW power plant?

Logging trucks, trains, and look at the size of those logs!
Above via http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big-lorry-blog/ Driving the model T cars onto the tree trunk is wild, but a team of horses? Did they think about how they were going to get those horses to back up the whole way off that tree trunk? that train on top of the bridge is cool... but what the freak! How long did it take them to make...

why do trains have to stop at ever station.. what if this way of switching cars could let the train roll on, not stop, saving energy and riders time?

Barnfind Shelby AC Cobra, and a one owner, less than 7.4 thou miles '62 Benz 300SL roadster getting auctioned by Gooding Jan 21st
Said to be the only unrestored Cobra in blue and red livery, the '64 AAC Cobra spent 33 years in "storage" yet comes off as surprisingly lustworthy in spite of that. It began life as Carroll Shelby's promo car at SoCal racing venues, was pulled from the deeep barn sleep to do the 2010 Pebble Beach from http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/15...
(here comes a rant) Moneymaking Speedtraps in Tennessee and Texas, everday guys win the fight against tyranny

Autoblog's years best photos
1937 Bugatti Atlantic Type 57sc at the Mullin museum Historic races at Monterey Love the paint scheme and the Barracuda looking custom Challenger. Too bad they don't have the guts to factory make a good Barracuda, I don't give a damn that the "Plymouth" brand doesn't exist... the car would have nothing in common with real 67-71 Barracudas...

Sometimes You Get the Trees, Sometimes They Get You
One of the pleasures of running is the ability to observe everything as you trot along. You see little subtleties that you wouldn't notice as you race past in a car. Here are some examples of trees that might look normal at 60mph, but they’ll give you a good excuse to stop for a breather if you see them in the wild.Nothing unusual, just...
