Seen not in my neighbourhood, but when I was driving through another one...
I've never been a big fan of Europa's, but this one had me hammer the brakes and pull over.

Equipped with a Gordini Racing engine.  If it's anything like this, would be chock full of grins.

Sitting on my door sill waiting to be let in I guess.  It's almost as big as the picture.


Maybe it was there for the cat...who knows.  I squished it and it still flew away.  Guess I didn't squish it enough.  :-X :hurl:

I hate moths...

Old F-150 , the owner passed away about 2 years ago, not sure why his wife is still keeping it around

That's a good looking truck.

Why would anyone hate moths?   Do you pull butterfly wings off too? ???

Butterflys!?  OMG NO!! They're the Golden Retrievers if the insect world! I would never!! So gentle and loving...no aggression there.

I get this feeling you're suggesting a serial killer vibe??  For a moth?  Fack  :P...have you ever had one of those big fat mutherfuhkers flying at your face in the dark in your own house?  Absolutely terrifying!!  Thumping against the blinds like there's something trying to get in...




And even those are lightweight (gifs) compared to having a moth trying to fly into your ears or mouth...yeah, I feckin' hate moths.  Useless pieces of shi#.

^^BTW, every time I see your username I think "Bead Winder #2", one of the machines at work that I have to fix.

Guess what it does?  ;D

Thankfully the worst snake we have around here is Garter snakes...harmless.  A real snake though? I'd probably run...

yeah those black mambas out of Africa are real assholes. Will chase you into your car or home. Friend went through 3 toilets a year, because his father would have to use the shotgun to kill the black mambas that wrapped themselves around them to try and stay cool on the porcelain.

Aussie snakes, I only saw one in 4 years. King Brown. It saw me and went the other way fast.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Camaro ZL1 from down the street just ripped by. Triple black. Looks mean, just like Vmango's. Sound wakes up the entire subdivision. Also a Maserati Spyder in beautiful deep blue, and black Mercedes C63 in the golf course lot this morning.

I will look out for that around my way.    One elbow and the edge of the newspaper I was reading did get onto Google maps street view.

Spotted an MV-1 today while in Burlington at Denningers.
I think it's the first time I've ever seen one on the road.
