That's my favorite section. A few years ago they closed it for repairs and I don't think ever reopened itRandom Delorean sightings are always fun.
About ten years ago, I was on old Rt. 66 in California's Mojave Desert. Not on the interstate, this is the old road from Ludlow east through Amboy, Cadiz, Essex etc and it is super desolate and empty.
or it did but there wasn't a pole there 30 years agoI would guess it didn’t quite make it to 88 MPH.
I think that's still the case. The roadblocks are visible on Google Earth.That's my favorite section. A few years ago they closed it for repairs and I don't think ever reopened it
Back in the 80’s I was stationed at MCLB Barstow. Old Rt 66 was right out the back gate. One day soon after coming aboard, I rode my bike out the gate and headed east on 66. I was really impressed with myself as I didn’t break a sweat mile after mile at a great clip. Though I was in great physical shape anyway, it took me by surprise at how I never fatigued. After a few hours I turned back since I had to report for duty. I began peddling and quickly discovered why it had been so easy. I had a constant wind to my back heading east but a front wind heading back. Never felt the back wind heading out. It was my first time being stationed in the desert and a lesson learned that day. No long distance hump (force march) before or after, came close to the workout I got coming back to base that day.Random Delorean sightings are always fun.
About ten years ago, I was on old Rt. 66 in California's Mojave Desert. Not on the interstate, this is the old road from Ludlow east through Amboy, Cadiz, Essex etc and it is super desolate and empty. Gorgeous right after sunrise and right before sunset, and opressively hot and sunny the rest of the day. At some point I realized I was almost the only car on the road, so I decided to check the odometer and see how many miles I could drive before seeing another car. I drove about twelve miles before eventually a silver speck appeared on the horizon. You guessed it, it was a Delorean. What are the odds? I'm specifically looking for the next car, and it turns out to be a Delorean. Not a beige Camry, but a Delorean. I waved at the guy when it passed. It was like seeing a real-life mirage.
I'm surprised it could go fast enough to cause any real damage.A friggin DeLorean was crashed into a light pole.
With the sliding roof. Bet they generally don’t age well. Remember the tv ads.The unicorn i saw yesterday was an envoy XUV. Not exciting but still neat.
I felt the same about the two 911 Porsche's I drove.I drove a delorean once. I was very unimpressed with it.
Years ago I had an older neighbor with a DeTomaso and a 454 Chevelle SS. I helped him wash them one Sunday and he says which one do you want take a ride in … “The fastest of course” …I would guess it didn’t quite make it to 88 MPH.
Yeah this version, I think this was the 4th or 5th I've ever seen. Remember seeing it at the dealer showroom set up just like that back in 05 when i was looking for then bought my 05 xl denali.With the sliding roof. Bet they generally don’t age well. Remember the tv ads.
