I love trucks, and this is the Ultimate parking lot:

This is the Dead's digital mobile mixing and recording studio parked behind the Hampton Coliseum 3000 miles from home recording the 10/09/89 show. If I remember right, and there is no reason I should, it was parked on a mat and OCD detailed. Then a couple of the regular cracker boxes that haul the equip. The black trailers had wild stuff airbrushed all over them and heads stuck stickers all over them for years on end. 3rd Pic showing some of the trailer art is Philly '87-88 when Hulkomania was in the Spectrum IMMEDIATELY prior to the Dead. As the Hulkomania crowd emerged from the building they were greeted with the steps and parking lot wall to wall Deadheads. The clash of titans began.

Was in South Lake Tahoe for the weekend and snapped a shot of this lot. According to Yelp, the owner is infamously rude.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/runnels-auto...uth-lake-tahoe

Odd that it's apparently not really an auto parts store. It's located in a high traffic spot, has a sign stating auto parts, and you can see shelves of parts through the windows. On Saturday the sign said closed but on Sunday it read open yet there's a "private property" sign over the by the cars

Can't remember the last time I've seen an XR4Ti (red car in lower pic by garage next to 'da "porch" ) that wasn't total scrapage.

Probably give the 914 a run for its money!

That is a weird group of cars for sure.

The first one was at Speedweek out at the bend in the road, a real gem? The Fiero 2M4 was in La Grand, OR.

The purple car had a Budweiser tap installed in the dash. Based on the air cleaner install, I suspect it actually works. Maybe they are tied in together some how.

Just like lake pipes, I call it lame unless it actually works!
