Slow, bare green spring seems a long way off but it will happen. We found the Dart in--I think–Bath, Maine a couple Aprils ago. And here's a Dodge Dart Pioneer from only a few years earlier but a different era when Chrysler was still deep in Exner/Batmobile style.

Saab story
Saab 900s At one time these were a common sight in New England, even in downcast Maine. Cranky but smart cars. Remember that ignition switch on the floor? We posted a newer Saab convertible last summer. And this Saab Viggen post has links to other Saab sighting.

Ford Lightning
First one we have seen in Cambridge. Kinda same old, same old, though. Big black overblown regular Super-Duty Fords and mega-Chevys, also usually black, are always chasing me up and down the Maine Turnpike. Lone males in massive trucks. Coming up fast, 'outta my way!"--you know the ride. Okay, yeah, truck size...the crisis in masculinity...the election...it's all connected, somehow.

c. 1966 Ford F-250, Marfa, Texas
"1st pass with pressure washer!" Another from David Branch's rehab ranch for old West Texas trucks. The antelope grill is a local essential.

Ford F-250 Tremor Moonlander
Michael Moore spotted it in Ely, Nevada. The Tremor is the beefed-up, off-road-packaged F-250. Not exactly a wheelbarrow. Kind of the opposite. It seems to us a truck like this wants to declare war on something. Like, nature. Going where no man (in a massive truck) has gone before. Probably hear him coming, though. Tremors, indeed. With the Moonland on a shortbed, you sleep sideways. Sounds massively uncomfortable.
