What great trucks. Wheelbarrows. An antitoxin, or a detox,  for Trumpish truckophilia. How come Ford doesn't make them anymore? 

1997 Toyota Hiace 30D. Blue Hill, Maine

Japanese import. Owner found it at TokyoMotorsDC The rest of the world drives much cooler and more practical vehicles than the USA. We see a lot of these imported Japanese vans, often 4wd, on the Pacific Coast, particularly in and around Vancouver. Here's a 4wd Mitsubishi van caught in St Louis, with links to others.

c. 1967 Triumph Spitfire. Banff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond: " I was rolling around town on my bike and saw this little English sports car parked at Martin's Stables here in Banff. Glorious summer evening. Not a common sighting. Beautiful as it is, I don't think many of them are still around a half century later . Looks like a fun car to drive on a summer day .

AL: we caught a Spitfire in Blue Hill, Maine a while back. wWe've posted a bunch of different  TRs.

Saskatchewan trucks: 1966 Ford Bronco & etc.

 

From Alex Emond: "Here's an "all sorts" mix of trucks . Some, like the '66 Bronco, and that big rig, have been pampered. Others are just well-looked-after, original-paint, everyday survivors...

...and as an ornithological bonus, a turkey vulture warming itself in the early morning sun atop the cross on a convent in Ponteix Saskatchewan . If Black Sabbath ever puts out another album this would make a good cover.." 

c. 1990 Dodge Dakota wheelbarrow. Washington D.C.

 

From Matthew Sheehey. From the days when Detroit (Warren, Michigan actually) built useful trucks, instead of braggadocio faux-macho monster toys.

These days the Ram Dakota is built in Brazil, and marketed only in South America. Big trucks are killing people, a New York Times investigation reported a couple weeks ago, The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks.

Meanwhile, hang in there, the Slate truck--the ultimate wheelbarrow...is coming...
