    Visited the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, over the Labor Day weekend. Here's one of the Ford GT-40's that ran at Le Mans during the late 60s. Notice the "bubble" on the roof to accommodate one of the drivers who was 6' 4" tall. :)

    Henry, like Walt, loved trains but Henry had a lot more money. Big trains you say...

    That's an impressive snow plow.

    What, you mean that's not just an overengineered moose catcher?

    ;D I hope it's not but it would certainly collect anything in it's path. Must be some serious snow where these trains run.

    There is something so incredibly... unusual, about that snowplow image. I've never seen anything like it, so it has a certain unreal quality to it. It looks like a prop from a movie, like some sort of war train that would appear more at home in something like a Mad Max movie.
