Like the title

The other day I saw a WW2 bomber fly over my house going to the local airport for a static show

I saw a hot air balloon this morning that looked pretty much like this one.

The original VW Beetle. Saw one in Finland, in mint condition. Pretty cool.

I was in Kungälv the other day and saw a lot of old veteran cars from the 1920s and 30s.  :thumbup:

There are a few of those in Sonoma and Napa that take people up for tours. I have thought of trying one sometime.

I flew in one several years ago and it was very cool.  I got to pluck some leaves from the top of an oak tree.

I love old cars. Some drive past our little corner in the summer, but Beetles are very rare.

I saw a yellow Tesla car parked outside the bank down the street. I'd love a ride in one.

Teslas are quite common here.

Saw an old Hyundai Excel painted army camouflage style parked outside Centrelink. I wonder what kind of person drove it.

Up top here, we would just think of him as a redneck.

Basically, very few people who own camo'ed trucks actually have any kind of need for such a thing. It is merely a fashion statement, most often.

I can't think of too many uses for a camo truck in civilian life.

And those ain't legal.

What do you mean, "... those ain't legal?" I drive past nearly a dozen every time I am out. Some are really nice looking, but most are hand done and butt ugly.

I do not think Indiana has a problem with camouflaged vehicles.
