Just as the mysterious Gypsy woman foretold
I hope at this point we all can agree Chinese laboratories were a mistake
And now we know what happened to Louis CK Image
You have been kidnapped by evil Spanish scientists and taken to their genetic abomination lab in China, but they have given you a choice of animal for your chimera.

What species do you choose? GO
*Me: koala, just sitting in a tree and getting baked af all day on eucalyptus

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by the all-new 1912 Reeves Sexto-Auto. Give your drive a happy ending with the smooth sexto-action ride of a Reeves! Image
Yes, it's real and spectacular, and as the ad says there was also an 8-wheeled Reeves Octo-Auto. Founded by the delightfully named Milton Othello Reeves, these were based on Overland and later Stutz cars with extra axles. At $3200-$4800 not many takers. Image
Without further ado, let us get to the identifying: contain yourselves ladies, for this barnyard lothario is headed to town in his chic 1934 Chevy 5 window coupe. Judging by the attire I suspect this photo is closer to 1934 than 1940.

Greatest trophy in all of sports idc don't @ me #GoHawkeyes #BeatMinnesota Image
*Floyd of Rosedale, who has a poignant back story. In the 1934 Iowa-Minnesota game Gopher players used racial slurs against Iowa's star RB Ozzie Simmons, and were accused of deliberately trying to injure him. ImageImage
This incident infuriated Hawkeye fans, to the point that Iowa Gov Clyde Herring said he couldn't insure the safety of Minnesota players from fans when they played the following year in Iowa City. In turn, this infuriated Gopher fans who saw it as provocation.

Time to relax with a Space Martini and #DavesCarIDService
*"Zero-G Drive" by my talented hot rodding pal @KeithWeesner, background artist for Batman the animated series and charter member of the Burbank Choppers. You can find more of his Noir Sci Fi Hot Rods & Space Vixens here (not 100% safe for work).

Before diving into today's batch, and speaking of the fine arts, I am utterly tickled to learn that a previous car ID here has resulted in a published poem: "Mechanic in a Photograph Taken in 1940" by Tim DeJong.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the regular Saturday AM episode of #DavesCarIDService, which was previously scheduled to be canceled today, has now been uncanceled for a special Extra Edition
Quick note: I am slowly winnowing through my car ID files in hopes of assembling a book, and I am sensitive to potential copyright issues. I'm crossing my fingers that you are OK with my use of your family album or wilderness/junkyard pics in this manner.
That said, in addition to the regular car ID request guidelines below, I ask that you only share photos that belong to you, or at least notify me that "please do not reprint" or "this is not my picture." Image

Today: "wow, the polls were pretty far off, maybe we should have taken them with a grain of salt."

Next Tuesday: "Here's Nate Entrails with a deep dive analysis of the latest tracking numbers from the NBS-Squippippinac Approve-O-Meter"
I guess it's time for my quadrennial rant on sampling statistics.
Sampling statistics have a long and proud history in all kinds of applications, from medical studies to manufacturing to agriculture, and yes, for a while, in politics.
