Nothing lifts one's spirits like seeing a politician dancing with joy in the pandemic-deserted streets of a dying megalopolis as Sinatra echoes eerily through the canyons of 50 billion watt LED billboards for shitty TV shows
This should be the map for the next release of Fallout
You did it! Congratulations! World's greatest city! Great job everybody! Nice to meet you! Image
gotta say the fiberglass Roman columns and statuary and 5 gallon champagne bottles are the chef's kiss
One time my kids gave me a "World's Greatest Dad" coffee cup, but I've never tried to insist to anybody that's my nickname

Happy New Year from #DavesCarIDService with a handy tip on how to dispose of the ol' Christmas tree. Image
Let's kick off with some from my buddy Noam, in a mysterious underground land yacht stash only he seems privy to: #1 is a 59 Buick Electra, #2 is 58 Buick Roadmaster, #3-#4 is a 60 Cadillac, either Series 60 or Coupe de Ville.
*also another gentle admonition to please use the #DavesCarIDService hashtag to assure my attention. In this second batch, #1-#2 is a 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V coupe, #3 is a 1975-76 Buick Estate Wagon.

Screw the Lamborghini Countach, the Mustang highway interceptor was the coolest car of the 1980s
True story, in the early 90s you could buy these all day long from DPS surplus for $2500-$3000
Calm down, Lamborghini fans. This is an actual gearhead's car, not a fantasy bedroom poster for 8 year old boys that you will never actually own.

Pro tip: if you want to fake an accent for attention at bars, pick British. Drunk chicks dig it, and no tedious language classes
The coeds of Ottumwa Body & Fender still speak of the mysterious ascot-wearing playboy exchange student Lord David Smythe-Burgestone
Let's face it fellas, you'll never convince a chick that you grew up in a castle with a flat nasally Upper Midwesternese

What happened then?
Well on Twitter they say
#DavesCarIDService grew 3 sizes that day.

OK, time to get to your ID requests and puzzle and puzzle until my puzzler is sore.

prepping for today's #DavesCarIDService I saw this neato pic from the always wonderful @TracesofTexas (forwarded by @DruncleWill) leading down a weird historical rabbit hole. First, I can say the truck here is a 1910-15 Universal. Next, the rabbit hole.
Confession: even in my advanced age and state of automotive OCD, I had previously never heard of Universal Motor Trucks. But here it's conveniently labeled as such on the truck's chassis. So I decided to dig for more info.
Warning: this will be a long thread about obscure industrialists from more than 100 years ago that ultimately has no moral, other than stuff is more connected than you think. If that is tedious to you, you might as well mute this thread now.
