Show us what you see!!!

Maybe this is best put in its own separate thread but to be clear the only people that can drive in these express toll lanes are those that have signed up for a payment/tracking transducer from caltrans. That stated, I don't think they are getting any revenue for out of staters passing through. The last I heard there are only four of these lanes in CA and they are not on interstate freeways. The only other tolls I know of in ca are the 17 mile drive through Carmel (you have to use this road to get to pebble beach golf course) and the major bridges in the area like the golden gate or bay bridge. Ca has the same revenue problems as other states and they address them by increasing toll fees and new taxes. In the mid 80s it cost 50 cents to cross the bay bridge, now it's $5, $6 to cross the golden gate and more on weekends.

To counter the loss of gas tax revenue caused by electrics and hybrids there is a proposal to tax ca residents based on the miles they drive per year. I sure hope that doesn't pass.

What happens when you drive through a rainbow? Do the colors get brighter or simply fade away?

Not really what I see right now, but what my mom is looking at, this is my moms barn where I grew up in Arkansas right now.
I know some of you get/have snow a lot but this is an unusual amount for this area.
People stop and take photos of her barn all the time, I've seen it on Arkansas barns FB page several times by random people.

@Bruce you must be getting some of this!

Corvette parts that came in early. Opened them at them at 9:00 and installed them by 10:00. Not a bad way to end a long day.

My 14 year old daughter coming out of anesthesia after having all 4 wisdom teeth pulled. So funny the crap she was saying and laughing at.

Caught the Hawks - Mavs game last night and traffic to the game was a breeze. Thanks to the Governor for calling a state of emergency for the snow dusting that Atlanta received.

Took a coworker out for lunch today in my new/used corvette. Thought this sight (my son's booster in the passenger seat) was strangely ironic since he is the reason I didn't buy a car like this years ago.

Couple comments ...........
@Ronnie ........... You're makin' all of us very jealous !
@Julian : Great photo of your child ......... the "rest" (ie, read cold, wet stuff) AIN'T makin' any of us jealous !
LOL !

 

[Ronnie]

Not trying to make anyone jealous, for the record used corvettes are relatively cheap. Speaking of jealousy, this was the first day I drove the vette to work. I parked it so I could see it from my office window but got jealous myself when I went to look at it and instead saw a better/newer vette in a better / closer spot than mine. So I started my work day being humbled.
