Default Thoughts of summer

With winter kicking off with a bang here in NY I figured I'd put up a couple shots from last summers drives.

If you feel like it, post some of yours.

I like how your plate follows reg NJ plates with 6 characters, so while vanity it also blends right in.

It's always summer here, but no good driving anywhere in South Florida. I often think about the time we drove from Sedona to Flagstaff. It was in a minivan with family, but still amazing.

Thx! I tried to get the little NJ icon in the middle between the 3 letters, so it would be even less noticeable as a vanity plate, but they don’t allow that anymore.

Nice photos, cars look great in those colors.

I never knew the center-cap-to-valve-stem-line-up was a thing. Must have missed that. Got to line them up now.

It comes from Porsches history in racing so the pit crew could find the valve stem quicker for pressure adjustments.
