Such a stylish sign for a smog check place. I'm not sure what used to be here, looks like it might have been a drive-in at one time.

A crackdown Thursday by the California Highway Patrol against dangerous drivers of big rig trucks resulted in 1,303 tickets in the first seven hours, a spokesman said.

 

Excessive speed was the most frequent violation, producing 542 citations between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., the CHP said.

 

Officers also ticketed drivers of 55 passenger vehicles statewide for such offenses as cutting off trucks in traffic or tailgating, said spokesman Tom Marshall.

 

A strike force of about 1,500 officers from Calexico in the south to the Oregon state line was ordered by CHP Commissioner D.O. "Spike" Helmick to make the sweep against hazardous truckers. (Source: Los Angeles Times)

She did eventually succeed, which I noticed incidentally while taking several shots of this rare combination of old roadside Americana and graffiti at VIP Tire & Automotive at 4918 San Vicente Blvd in Los Angeles.

 

Gotta love that red Chevy Luv. I don't think I've seen a Luv that was so well-loved in years!

A few weeks ago, I discovered a peculiar similarity in many of the hand-painted signs in northerly Sacramento neighborhoods such as Del Paso Heights. Apparently, this sign painter has some sort of OCD about punctuating even sentence fragments on signs with periods. In just the last few days, I recognized his signature punctuation on several other signs throughout the city, even on the south side. With this batch of pics, I have begun to document this painter's work.

I haven't got a car but could somebody please do me a smog check anyhow!

 

I wish that that attractive mountain in the distance were over here close, to where I could get up onto it, away from this vast & unsightly street. Who'd want to hang out @ this spot anyhow.
