She’s wearing her wedding dress, and a black leather jacket. In the back of a hummvee. I like her style!

How much is the 50 cal? $35(!) per round. No thank you. Besides, been there done that. And America paid for my ammo, thank you. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > She’s wearing her wedding dress, and a black leather jacket. In the back of a hummvee. At a friends wedding a guest showed up in a deuce and a half. Open air, no top. The wedding party jumped in back and we drove around our small resort town just laying on the horn. We where all pretty lit. I was a little concerned that the police may not be to happy about our mini-parade. The bride is a supervisor at 911 she said “If we get pulled over the cop is going to be responding to every barking dog complaint for the rest of his career” ---

I didn’t get a great look at it on the interstate, but from what I got I think it’s a beautiful car. ---

Another vehicle that I didn’t know existed or needed to exist. A Shelby Ford F-150, with a supercharged 700 HP V8. This appears to be the 2017 model, the current version produces 770 HP.

The bride is a supervisor at 911 she said “If we get pulled over the cop is going to be responding to every barking dog complaint for the rest of his career” I was standing up in a wedding that booked a bus to drive the wedding party around. We stopped to take pictures on some semi-private land and almost immediately had people out there trying to get us to leave. The funny thing was, at some point that person threatened to call the police. I watched as the whole group knowingly looked at each other and told her to go ahead. I mean, we were already leaving, but I think they were kinda hoping the cops would get called on a bus that was almost entirely full of firefighters and cops\*. I think myself and the driver were the only people that weren’t. ---

2024 Buick Envision Avenir. Apparently, Buick is pushing _Avenir_ as their highest trim level, something they’re pushing across all models.

I live at very high altitude. I see a lot of camouflaged cars and trucks come over the pass. I guess thin air/altitude testing. Some have so much crap hanging on them that it must ruin aerodynamics. But you can’t recognize what it is or is supposed to be. ---

I don’t think it looks great from that angle, but I actually like the overall styling of the car.

Pretty cool, @blondebear . Has anyone heard of **VinFast**? On I-40 in New Mexico today I passed two transport trucks full of them. Each had 5-6 of them. Sorry, no pics. I had to look it up. VinFast is an electric car from Vietnam! From web photos I think they were the VinFast VF 8. These are web pics. Not my pics.

But you can’t recognize what it is or is supposed to be. just a sidemark: you are gonna see less of that in the future … EVs don’t suffer from power loss in altitudes … so no more reason to get them to high altitudes for testing. ---
