Prompt: A classic vintage style hot rod, slung low with glossy black paint and chrome details. The open engine block shows shiny metal parts, with roaring exhaust pipes and eye-catching carburetors. Thick rear tires and narrow front tires emphasize the aggressive design. The body is decorated with subtle flame and pinstriping details. In the background a dusty desert road at sunset, with palm trees and mountains in the distance. The hot rod radiates power and speed as the low-lying sun rays reflect off the shiny surfaces. The scene appears authentic and realistic, with a slight retro vibe --ar 5:4 --stylize 250 --v 6.1
Anche con meteo osceno l'eleganza di queste macchine rende la foto più o meno decente.. Una Re 10/10 dopo aver superato gli anelli del piottino, transita nella ex. stazione di Rodi - Fiesso ( ormai posto movimento ) in ascesa verso Airolo e la galleria di valico del San Gottardo.
the elegance of these machines hide the disgusting wheather, a FFS Cargo Re10/10 climb the south Ghottard rampre, here passing in the Rodi - Fiesso ex. station, on the swiss alps.
Not what it appears to be. This cool old school hot rod was photographed at the Back to the Fifties car show in St Paul, MN. I "re-parked" it at the 371 Diner in Baxter, MN

Hamilton Ghost Town
White Pine Range
Lincoln County, Nevada
August 2020
This is a portion of a 60-inch round gear that was used to tumble and crush the ore from the silver mine.
Hamilton appeared after the discovery of rich silver ore at Treasure Hill. The first settlers found shelter in local caves, which were numerous. By May 1868, the settlement, then known as "Cave City" was formed.
Boom years
The town boomed following the discovery of rich silver deposits nearby. With a population of six hundred, it was renamed for mine promoter W. H. Hamilton. The post office first opened for business on August 10, 1868 while the community was still part of Lander County, Nevada.
White Pine County was formed in March 1869, and Hamilton was selected as the first county seat. By its peak during the summer of 1869, Hamilton's population was estimated at 12,000. There were close to 100 saloons, several breweries, 60 general stores, and numerous other businesses. There were also theaters, dance halls, skating rinks, a Miners’ Union Hall, and a fraternal order located in the thriving community. Close to 200 mining companies were operating in the area.
Decline
However, Hamilton's prosperity was not to last. It was soon discovered that the local ore deposits proved shallow. Subsequently, by 1870, less than two years after its founding, the community was already in decline. Once the shallow nature of the local ore deposits became known, many of the mining companies left the area. Hamilton's population and economy began a rapid decline. At the census of 1870, the population was 3,915, less than a third of what it had been estimated at the previous summer. On June 27, 1873, a large fire spread throughout the business district and caused an estimated US$600,000 (equivalent to $12,810,000 in 2019) in damage. Most businesses that burnt down were abandoned, and not rebuilt. By this time, the town's population was estimated to have shrunk to only 500. Another fire destroyed the courthouse at Hamilton along with all of the records in January 1885. County records began to be kept at the Ely courthouse begin January 5, 1885. Although Hamilton was the first county seat of White Pine County, the rapidly shrinking community lost that designation to the town of Ely in 1887.
The Lincoln Highway went to Hamilton as late as 1913, but by 1924, the town was bypassed.
The Hamilton post office closed in 1931.
Hamilton is now a ghost town, with only scattered ruins remaining at the site.

Today's story and sketch "by me" below you see Wally
Knewbutt and his wife Sherlyn who just arrived here in
Podunk Valley from their home Planet Mars, and are looking
for their half acre ranch at the Playa Beutimus Resort,
Sherlyn is an excellent navigator and is trying to explain
to Wally they are in Podunk Valley (formerly Quarzsite AZ)
at 33.6762 N.-114.217 E, but it does not seem to look any
thing like the half acre they purchased from the photo's in
the sales brochure, for Playa Beutimus RV Retirement Resort.
The Playa Beutimus brochure described beautiful tropical
half acre lots with awesome rock scape vistas, mild
temperatures with an occasional tropical breeze, friendly
exotic animals who roam the resort, a genuine retirement
paradise.
But the truth be told Rescue Randy (living tissue crash
test dummy, and Desert Resort Developer), purchased 3
million acres of this desert oasis from the bankrupt
federal governments "BULLS" Bureau of Unbelievably
Lousy Land Sales, and began selling to Martians who
want to retire on Earth, to enjoy the mild 130 degree
daytime temps, and cooler nights listening to the melodic
howls of coyotes as they wander through Playa Butimus
pursuing the Beutimus Rock Goats, but that and much more
are a story for another time, until then taa ta

Name: Rad Rod
Type: Speed
Pilot: Bill Bolts
Special Ability: Quad Mode
Bill Bolts has always been something of a gearhead, so when the Mecha Racing League was established he quickly jumped on the bandwagon. He took one of his old hot rods, and modified it into his own personal MRL mech. The Rad Rod is extremely small and lightweight, giving it a speed advantage over its heavier opponents. It is capable of changing between the standard humanoid mode and a four-legged stability based mode for sharp turns or extra torque and speed from its beefy rear wheels.
This guy turned out considerably smaller than I originally intended, but If anything I think that adds to the aesthetic. The transformation wasn't part of the original concept, but was integrated halfway through the building process because I could. The arms are last-minute, because I thought it needed something a little bit extra near the cab assembly.
This was built for the Mecha Racing League. If you would like to participate, check out the group here!
