It explodes more in real time than in photos, and the gawk factor in traffic is something else. I haven’t been out enough this year, but three times last year in traffic, people sitting in other cars asked if I have been saved. I’ve been driving the car since 11/5/86, and it was a fairly respectable looking car. (Actually it was smoking hot for the first 10 years, before the crimson, pearl-like huge died from UV exposure.) Never once during that time did anyone pull alongside and ask if I have been saved! I’m pretty good putting on another set of shoes and looking from another side. And I can see where it looks like a fireball straight from hell!

Naturally, the weather has been absolutely lovely. Got rained out on last Friday’s cruise night, so I never got a chance to get out, and I got rained-on Saturday night.

Here’s another before-shot fireball photo, and one of these years, I’ll get some after-shot fireball photos. Meanwhile, here are a couple of low-light shots in the garage.
