Pictures of cars. There are a number of them. Here's another. Yesterday too. They are usually older cars, probably always older cars. I'm not sure exactly what it is about them that's so appealing. I don't like driving them, new cars handle so much better, are faster, use less gas. Is it what they represent? A time when things were simpler? In so many ways we base how successful we are on how much we own. When this car was made there was no such thing as an iPod, a cell phone, a PlayStation, a computer, etc etc. Wanting this car is more about nostalgia than anything and nostalgia is a powerful drug. And still, I take pictures of old cars and more often than they appear here and will continue to do so.
