    Subject: Tesla Cybertruck

    While on vacation I saw this Tesla Cybertruck in Medford, Oregon. I had to take a picture of it at night. I'm glad I did because when I looked for it in the morning, it was gone.

    @Digirame if you did a little photoshopping to remove part of the tow line it would look they came from in the clouds... could be cool.

    That must be the ugliest vehicle I have ever seen! Moreover, it is 2metres, or 7ft 4in wide...

    I have a theory that there is a special office responsible for estimating how long all these jobs will take, and those working on them ensure that they never get them finished in less time! 😀

    Dunlin,

    Thanks for commenting on my parasail photos. Yes, the tow line could be photoshopped out, but it's so small and hard-to-see.

    Dunlin,

    I like the pink clouds you found in the evening.

    David,

    Yes, I don't find it attractive. But being the first generation Tesla truck, it will probably always be considered a classic. It's also screaming fast. 😀

    Subject: 1932 Ford

    Here's a neat car I saw yesterday. I spoke to the owner about it. It's a 1932 Ford with a modified 350 cubic inch V8 engine (5.7L). It has about 400 horsepower.

    Interesting. I wonder what they do to the rest of the vehicle that it can be safely driven with such a big engine!

    David,

    The owner told me that with the suspension and gearing, that this car drives straight when accelerating hard. I was concerned with that much power and low weight of the vehicle, that it would shake some (and thus be a little unsafe). But he said it does not. But he said the steering wheel does get a little shaky when slowing down, although.

    For safety reason, I would think that the car would be not good for high speeds (above speed limits), but best for hard acceleration and for show. I did not see an air bag, for example. He said the curb weight was about 2600 lbs. and I thought he said that it had 485 pound-force foot of torque. I think that's the correct way to express the torque, but I could be wrong. I'm not sure what that would be in Newtons and meters.

    So to answer your question, the car would have to be further heavily modified to modern safety standards, to drive with such a big engine (to be safe as other newer cars). But if a person just wants to have a nicer older car, with excellent acceleration and keeps the speed down to reasonable levels, then it would probably be relatively safe. I don't know...I don't think I would want to drive a car with so much power without air bags. There's no padding either. So much of the interior is solid steel.

    Presumably he has also fitted disk brakes and modified the suspension considerably in order to make the car stable. It must also have an upgraded transmission to cope with the extra torque of the V8 engine. One sees no evidence of these mods from outside the vehicle, of course.

    David,

    Yes, you are correct. What little I know about high performance vehicles, is that the transmission has to be able to handle that much torque. Looking at the size of the wheels and tires, I assume that the suspension and brakes were modified also for the high horsepower engine too.

    Had a crop duster buzzing around the house today.

    Steve,

    That's neat you had enough depth of field to include both the plane and the tree, so that they both would be in focus. On my monitor the second photo appears a little dark. What does the histogram say about it?

    Dig,

    The second one is darker and that's kind of funny to me. The exif data on the pictures seems to come and go on the forum, but both pictures are at 1/2000, f/4.5 and ISO of 100. The only thing I can think of is that I was using evaluative metering, and on the first picture, it metered off the trees, making the sky a little lighter, and on the second, it metered off the sky and because I was in Tv mode and didn't change the settings, it was underexposed, and I didn't realize it.

    There's nothing like a jeep! Nice one! 😀 I'm glad to see someone else show some pictures of automobiles.

    Dig,

    I have no idea how it started, or where it comes from, but people randomly leave little rubber ducks under my windshield wipers or door handle.
    There's a little note that says, "You've Been Ducked!"

    I have several.

    Steve,

    It sounds like someone knows you, that is doing that. That would be nice to find out who has been supplying you with these little ducks. Perhaps you might want to get one of those cameras that records motion near your jeep.

    No. It's a national thing. The page I provided is from Amazon. You see guys driving jeeps around with those little ducks lined up on their dashboards they've been Ducked so many times.

    It's funny.

    Tim,

    Thanks for the information. I wonder how long this ducking of jeeps will last?
