What topic is better for a self-described car lover who spends all of his time driving back and forth across America? I couldn’t ask for a better topic. As you can imagine we have tons of car photos, so I went thorough our vast library and selected some of my favorites to share. I tried to pick out some of my favorite oddities and modified cars to spice things up a bit.
