    matrix driver?? Sweet sweet cars, I throw all kinds of crap in the back of mine, I've had all my photogear (including tripod that can go in fully extended), tall barn boots for when I need to wade through a swamp to get the shot, my mountain bike, all my mountain bike gear (including full size floor pump), a laptop, my longboard (a 5ft. skateboard) and a pretty big duffel bag with a long weekends worth of clothes in there all at one time. Plus all the requisite stuff that is always in my car. With some room to breathe. All in a vehicle that i average 35mpg with (combo of hway/backrds/city).

    I have never been so happy with a car in my life!!

    Hi,

    Here's a picture of the police escort for the movement of the locomotive in the background. This was taken by me on June 7, 2007 upon arrival of the locomotive in Cowan, Tn. The locomotive is now on display at the Cowan Railroad Museum.

    Dana,

    I can see you! Fun framing in the gas filler cap lid. I like the yellow in the second shot.

    No Doubt you underestimate yourself. Did you ever try to get accredited? I'm sure you could if you really wanted... Be nice to see more like this if you have any.

    August is over so I will reveal the 'Mystery Car' -

    http://gallery.photographyreview.com...05/BadgeM1.jpg

    A 1929 Marquette.

    The Great Depression struck and General Motors - Buick shutdown the production. While numbers and sources vary slightly, it is safe to say that around 200 were delivered/sold and no more than 250 were fully or partially assembled. There is a registry now, (no web link at this time).

    Buick intended this as an economy model Sportster. There is some renewed interest as a result of the Buick Centennial a few years back and the rarity of this model.

    More photos in the galleries 1929 Marquette mini-gallery.
