    Interesting - is that a painting based on a photograph, or a photograph made to look like a painting?

    That is so excellent. Driving a car of that vintage on a regular road. :)

    I've always wondered though if bugs/insects are an issue...

    I still recall a CarToon from the greatest magazine of my youth, CarToons . . .

    Guy on a Chopper next to a woman with a butterfly net.

    "I don't care if you are a bug collector, Lady. You still ain't pickin' my teeth!"

    Them's hardly regular roads. That's bravery right there.

    And, yes, I suppose a few bugs died along the way.

    I believe he is using a period correct helmet, that has a visor with a bit of windscreen protection, as period photos of Mike Hawthorne sometimes show.

    I agree with that, there's potholes in those roads that would throw a minivan over the rail!!

    That's a fabulous image!

    Do you have tear-offs on your goggles, Jim?

    You should get some of these. They have wipers installed into the thumb on the glove. Ha.
