AAA car insurance wants you to get a quote, and will enter you in a free gas giveaway ($15,000 worth)
From my experience, and not as a customer because I have Allstate insurance, AAA is the 2nd best for cost, 1st for service, and I have no doubt will beat Geico, State Farm, and Farmers... they already proved that those other companies are more expensive. No one has proved to me to have better customer service for on the phone or roadside.http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/06/if-you-want-to-save-money-on-car.html for the posts I've done that...

Beautiful women seldom are photographed looking gorgeous with vehicles in the photo by chance
both images from http://urban-hunter.tumblr.comtwo of the most memorable beautiful women ever... looking very good. I have seen hundred of Marilyn photos where she doesn't look beautiful... lighting, her mood, the composition of the photo, her age... but this one finally got it, and included a military truck (Dodge Power Wagon?)Raquel is what the young celebs with reality tv shows wish they could look like, simply pretty without a marketing...
3000 still photos, 11 months, one video. It is killer. An engine gets torn down and rebuilt.

there are 12 perfectly preserved Spitfire airplanes buried in Burma
The planes were shipped in standard fashion in 1945 from their manufacturer in England to the Far East country: waxed, wrapped in greased paper and tarred to protect against the elements. They were then buried in the crates they were shipped in, rather than let them fall into enemy handsAugust 1945, the Mark XIV aircraft, which used Rolls-Royce Griffon engines instead of the Merlins of earlier models, were put in crates and transported from a factory in the West Midlands to Burma. Once they arrived, however, the Spitfires were deemed surplus to...
All stop, all engines stop, hold everything, nobody move til you see this... a WW2 P40 was just found in the Sahara desert. So intact the bullets are still in the wing guns, it crashed in 1942
Park of the Royal Air Force of England, it's a Curtiss P40 KittyhawkNot much story, just that no human remains were with the plane, the parachute was deployed next to the plane, so you can guess that the pilot landed well enough to use it for shade, then tried to walk out of the desert.Full gallery (but I sure didn't leave much you didn't see here) at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/05/pictures/120524-world-war-ii-plane-egypt-desert-science-p-40-lost/#/lost-ww2-fighter-plane-found-desert-egypt-propellor_53834_600x450.jpg via...

1920 Mercer Raceabout ( Not many Mercers at car shows... glad to find one!)
as unusual as the speedometer is, the shifter below with it's shift pattern on the bell... that is something I've never seen another like two spares... because when these 20's cars were on the roads, they had to share the roads with horses that were always dropping horse shoe na...
