Whether it be the traditional bumper sticker, peeing Calvin window cling, or a middle finger raised toward another who has slighted us on the road, automobiles give us many ways to express our thoughts and dreams, opinions and procreative prowess. One of the oldest and most venerable of those is the dust or dirt finger painting and this Wrangler’s stick figures in the wheel spray are worthy of the Museum of Modern Art… or at least Last Call on Hooniverse.
Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

Saw this pair while on my way back from a training session at NAIT and thought they were worthy of a picture.

Fun puzzle for Hoons: How does a 36 year old truck end up with a ~40 year old tree growing through it’s engine bay?
-
It ran into a 4 year-old tree and the driver gave up on getting it back?

My best guess is that this particular truck was an early victim of the then-ubiquitous 400ci version of the 351M V8, and its distinctive lack of adequate oil pressure at “higher” mileages (i.e. the engine had elapsed more than 80,000 miles or so.)
(Disclaimer: My dad loved the ’78 and ’79 F-series trucks to the point that he drove them almost exclusively from ’78 thru ’01 when he finally saw the light and started buying Dodge Rams. A significant segment of my learning to drive was in various ’78 and ’79 F-series trucks ranging from F-150 through F-350, 4×4/4×2/4×2 dually, C6 automatic thru 4-speed manual, but all powered by the ubiquitous and iniquitious 400ci.) -
This truck was for a wedding
in 1939 in Poland. The wedding was abandoned, and so was the truck due
to the German invasion. It was found again after the war with the
trees growing through it.

I went out to Detroit for the weekend for the annual Tour De Troit bike ride. (It’s a great ride and I participate every year with my dad, finding something fun to do in Detroit to make a weekend out of it. This year was a Tigers game at Comerica Park. I hadn’t been to the new stadium yet.)
Anyway, on Saturday after leaving the ride and heading west on I-94 to get out to the land of Bells, Arcadia and Water Street, I saw a Citroen C4 Cactus going the opposite direction.
It really threw me.-
I spent a couple years living in Windsor about a decade back, so of course I trekked out to the Chrysler Museum, and meandered about the rest of the campus after. I was very excited to see they had a Renault Clio V6 for whatever unknown reason, among other interesting things.

Seen on the side of a truck (in my imagination):
Polski Tile Installers, Inc.
“Kielbasa, Beer and Shower Grout”
Enjoy Oktoberfest!(Sept. 19 – Oct 4) And enjoy a rather Klezmer tinged drinking song from San Francisco’s Polkacide
