Ummm... I don’t even know where to begin with this 1959 Renault 900. It would look weird either way because it’s already half way there.

No problem. It just gave me the excuse to be snarky back again. Most banks don’t want to deal with fiddling small change. I think it depends on the particular bank actually, whether they are busy at the time, and so on. You had good luck in finding one that did. I’ve got probably $600 in those containers pictured

That’s good for you. Most banks won’t do that, and many won’t even take rolls. Care to share what and where that bank is?

I actually had one a couple of weeks ago that put me INSIDE of a furniture store in, I think, Ukraine, with no way out. Luckily I found a bilboard by looking out of the window, but still didn’t get close to the actual location. I really hate the ones in the Australian outback where you have to inch forward 20 miles

I always sort my change when I empty my pockets every day, and keep an old coffee container around for each denomination. Makes it easier to roll later on.

I love to play Geoguessr. I can get within 18 yards or better about 75 or 80% of the time, and while I’ve gotten a perfect 25K score a few times, there always seems to be one out of the five places in each round that messes me up. HINT: Make good use of Google Earth Streetview and Google Translate to help you along

It’s long because otherwise it would end up looking something like this....

This wasn’t confined to just Mexico. I caught this one while looking around in Australia on Google Earth Streetview. I think this one is called the B-150. For more Ford truck weirdness (In South America), check this out.

Now playing

I have too many Red Green “favorite clips”, but this one is one of my top 5 favorites.

These aren’t diecast cars, but my late Father, who passed away a little more than a year ago at the age of 91, made these models when he was a kid, so they will always be my favorite. He made them back in the late ‘30s, maybe very early ‘40's. Much of the bodywork on these had to be done by hand using balsa,

If you’ve ever watched Top Gear (who hasn’t?), you’ll notice that the 747 parked at the track has an unusual engine configuration too, at least for a 747*.

JPL did that with NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover too. The markings on the wheels spell out “JPL” in morse code as it travels over the Martian surface.

I give you another wicker car... the 1911 Napier Garden Car (Picnic Edition). I took these pics at the Mid Texas Auto Museum several years ago.

Ahhh... Maybe that helps to explain this picture I took of an MGB I found on it’s side in front of my apartment one morning back in 1980 (sorry for the lousy quality).

You were saying?

The screenshot of the news coverage shown in this article clearly shows the Uber car in the outside (far right looking in the direction of travel) lane near where the bike lane is.

It would be nice to have fingerprint readers for the outside doors and even the ignition. No keys, fobs or cards needed.

I wonder how that does in the pedestrian impact tests. Ouch!!
