@FP - tittin' and shittin' with Tomsk: I caught a 1951 sedan the other day - green and white. Drove past it a few times since then.

@Taco Mudplushroomz: I was wondering where he is....

@Murilee Martin: I watched them go back out to the Top Gun theme on the PA. Very funny.

@undefined: @Ambiguously Strolling Player: We actually had two of those growing up. They were plenty spacious enough for the kid seats of the early 80s. I learned how to drive in the second one.

@Peugeot 504 - the Car for Nigeria: Honestly? I looked for a couple of months and found just one or two MGBs. Orleans parish/Chalmette cars that sat for weeks in water are not easily recoverable when made of Noble Italian steel.

@Novaload Misses Murilee: Thanks. We just got back. There are more to come once I get them onto my computer - I dropped them to murilee's hd as well.

@domino: considering the general demographic makeup in cajun land, it's likely at least one of the team or their family has been to iraq or afghanistan. So they do know, yeah. Tends to be a lot of poor kids who join the army or reserves down there.

@joneez isn't drinking that damn Kool-Aid: [www.flickr.com] taurus engine carnage - adjacent pictures have another engine out, too.

@2Wheelsor4: Ze Ümlaüt in Motörhead: By "french quarter" it means "go show them bourbon street for five minutes and hit up frenchmen."

@cq is experimental: Somehow that showed up on entirely the wrong comment. I blame the hamsters.

@Jo Schmo: Strolling Player went out there today with a couple of people - I think he has houseguests for the race as well.

@Replying as a troll: They teach cajun french at LSU - the spellings do still exist.

@Replying as a troll: We both are working Friday, but should be out there Saturday morning.

@schvitzatura: I like that one. Perhaps a peeling seafood penalty?

@SmaartAasSaabr: Cajun french is much more backwards and older than that of the quebecois. I could ask my grandmother...

@Replying as a troll: I intend to be armed with a couple of cameras... Clay was thinking about bringing the truck out but it is unairconditioned and has no gas gauge or speedo...

@A stʁolling playeʁ: We need humidors in this town? To keep the air slightly less humid than the outdoors or something?

@A pistonforging player: No straw = closed container. Straw = open container.

@aSoundofSleep Forager of Pistons: Even more fun are the people driving through the french quarter with a hand grenade balanced between their knees.

@Strooooolling the Jalopplayer: If we can get the truck on the street we can probably start appealing to clay's mom (aka my not-yet-mother-in-law) for the garage it lives in...
