Went on a biz trip Wed to Dallas & it felt like I was either trippin' or in the Twlight Zone! It started off when I saw a DeLorean sitting at a light in a small town just north of us. Next I saw the roof of a large house being transported by 18 wheeler. Not a house... only the roof (never seen that B4)! Next I saw an old VDub painted pink as sort of "work of art".. it was also sitting on a pink trailer. Then I went through a small town & outside of a large metal building sat about 10 Studebakers... no telling how many were inside! On my way back I saw a gas station that looked like a big Star Trek Enterprise (sadly no photo). Next I saw a guy who had 7-8 Tri-5 Chev pickups for sale out in front of his shop. Another strange day in paradise!

I always see stuff like that but no camera .. so I got a phone with a camera on it and now I dont see that stuff ..IDK Would have loved to of seen what was inside the barn ...
 
When did they legalize happy smoke in Texas? Or were you having flashbacks from days gone by.:eek: I could go for years and not see that much strange stuff.
 
Spill the wine.....Trippin with the Tripper.....

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a bit field of tall grass.
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face.
As I fell asleep and dreamed,
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie,
And that I was the star of the movie.
This really blew my mind,
The fact that me, an overfed, long-haired, leaping gnome,
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie...
But there I was....:eek:

Year end clearance of the evidence locker???;)
 
I see so much crazy crap on the road that it's not funny. The strangest seams to come from good ol Kentucky! Lol
 
The bizarrest :rolleyes: thing i have seen lately was along the road i take across nowhere 2 or 3 times a week. There is a small house on the south side of the road. Nothing to notice there ordinarily. One morning there was a burned out car hulk diagonally in the little front yard and it was upside down!
 
It was a strange trip indeed & saw some other weird stuff as well. About an hour B4 sunset I saw a big black cow on the side of the highway in an area close to where a Sheriff hit 3 black cows around 2:00am a couple Thursdays back. I hit a deer 3 weeks ago in Mrs Tripper's car doin' about 55 but can't imagine hitting a big cow at 70+. Luckily the deputy only had a few small scratches... air bags do save lives!!!

BoB
 
I made a run on a woman who hit a horse with a VW Beetle in the 70s, totaled the car and almost killed the lady. I checked on her in the hospital a few days later to finish my report and she said she was going to buy a truck, a big truck!
 
Tripper and Bruno.....

Would not want to hit either....if we get into a pursuit around here and head outside of the city God knows what will "pop out".....Deer, cows, horses, ATV's, Tractor's, I've dodged about all of them....

County deputy had a pursuit a year or so back...the guy he was chasing slammed into a combine....needless to say.....didn't fare well....

I've been fortunate even in my POV....have had close calls but never hit any deer or other large animals....Thankfully...glad to hear you were not injured....a deer at 55 is nothing to take lightly either...
 
I hate air bags!!!

About ten years ago I hit a caf running about 70. It didn't even hurt the car (97 crown Vic) but when the air bags went off it destroyed the dash and windshield. The airbag knocked me out! Luckily I kept my foot on the brakes and skid sideways in the road coming to a stop with the back tires in the ditch. In my daze I got out of the car ( didn't shut it off or put it in park) and laid down in the road in front of it. When I came to my family was standing over me asking me what happened. My moms house was about a 1/2 mile up the road and my family heard the brakes lock up but nothing else. I can't help but wonder what would of happened if I hit the gas instead of the brakes when I blacked out.
