An inquisitive old fart with a camera
I saw this Fusca today.
I probably should have just kept walking, because the artwork on the side has been haunting me since. Two upside-down spark plugs? Custom culture? Keep traditions?
I’m wondering if it’s like t-shirt designs with Japanese or Chinese characters that used to be popular, perhaps until people figured out they had absolutely no idea what message they were promoting.
Custom Keep Traditions Culture? I just need to let this one go….
This is the parking deck (there’s much more parking under the building) at Tienda Inglesa in Atlántida yesterday afternoon. 15 out of 40 or so available parking spaces were blocked off for people showing off their Alfa Romeos, at least one of which might have qualified as antique.
What is the thinking here?
(BTW, today noticed that the foolish plastic “covid” shields have been removed from the cashier aisles in Tienda Inglesa!)
The owner said it sold here with Chinese plates. Why she didn’t have Uruguayan plates, but a printed certificate with the license number in the windshield…eh, enough mysteries for one day.
Sorry, kids, just participation trophies today.
Well, there is that little zigzag near the front.
I guess. 1966 Chrysler station wagon. Just parked in front of somebody’s nothing-special house.
Coming home along the Rambla (beach road) I passed a mid-50s Chevy with mag wheels following a mid-50s Ford T-bird. Special day today? It’s fathers day in the US, but not here for another three weeks.
Plenty of campers around, including the military-looking minimog/whatever (mostly) German contraptions, a few fancy rigs, some ghetto stuff, and then this absolutely classy gem from Argentina.
…for today’s “Special Parking” award!
In unrelated news, “she” is right side up again…
…after being inexplicably upside-down a couple days ago.
…the inconvenience of a convenience store next door. None of these vehicles were moving.
Just ain’t raht. Imagine going through a mud puddle on it.
