The above light is made for quick easy identification by anyone who can see shapes, or colors. Particularly in the case of color blind people.

The 1st traffic light ever made exploded, killing the cop that was operating the lever to direct it's light in the right direction. Jan 2nd 1869 was the day, and natural gas vapor was the source of the flame that made the lights visible... no electricity, nothing but a torch behind a colored lens.

The first traffic light in Ireland (1890's) was placed near the oldest pub in Europe (900 AD) because the first car in Ireland was owned by the pubs frequent patron, and he was Ireland's first drunk driver.

But the best idea in traffic lights is a light that has a time indication of when it will switch to green http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/two-good-ideas-id-like-to-see-in-world.html

1. Thou shalt not store cars out-of-doors except for thy wife’s modern iron.
2. Thou shalt not covet they neighbor’s car, nor his garage, nor his battery charger.
3. Thou shalt not love thy cars more than thy wife and children; as much, but not more.
4. Thou shalt not read thy Hemmings on company time, lest thy employer make it impossible to continue thy car payments.
5. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor’s Edsel, nor DeSoto, nor even his 1947 Plymouth.
6. Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons to get married during the Holy days of Hershey.
7. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thee is taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when, indeed, thou art going out to look at another car.
8. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of thy latest restoration, at least not all at the same time.
9. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to the house and then use it to store cars.
10. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack for Christmas.

This pulled up next to me at a stoplight, and it's the first time I'd ever heard of a collector edition car. That is one presumptuous car company!

Cars are collectable in a subjective way, IMHO, based on factors not up to the car maker, unless it's smart enough to produce incredible Italian sports cars.

The LE based Camry collectors edition was new for 2001 according to Wikicars.org

The Chrysler Maserati TC had a germicidal sanitary disposable clothes in 1991

The Porsche 356 had a small vial of glycerine to drip into the door locks to keep the tumblers from freezing

The Mclaren F1 had titanium tools in a kit under the hood. Like anyone would use them on a Mclaren!

All the action is from the 30 second to the 3 minute 30 second points, but to see the far out mod cars in Japan watch after that

Speaking of the Ferrari 458 Italia:


" ... the 458 makes its horsepower peak at its redline. So if you want to access all 562 hp, you have to hang in there until 9000 rpm. In fact, if you let the tach drop below the 7000 rpm, it will start raining because you made Enzo Ferrari cry from heaven. " Love this guys writing!




I happened to photograph these shiny new food trucks before seeing the magazine, not from coincidence, but I suspect due to a publicity push to get the word out and draw out easy push overs like me to add to the cool new craze of superb cooking that can go head to head with restaurant food, read the San Diego Reader article (well researched and well written as always) http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/apr/06/cover-food-trucks
