Last Call: Five-Wheel Friday Edition II


I bet the last time I used Five-Wheel Friday as a theme, you thought it was a one-time stunt. Think again.

    I was going to guess the state in which this was taken, but I suppose I can just look at the plate.

      State of redundancy I would imagine.

    Bonus points: 5 Carburetor Friday.
    (Hey, if you’re going to return to 5 Wheel Friday using Krautwursten’s pic from the last 5WF, I’m going to recycle my reply, too!]

    What kind of motor does the smaller bike have? It looks like a two-stroke to me.

    Do you guys have any automobile superstitions? I just had to pick up five kids. In order to do that, I had to fold up the third row, which is hidden under a giant rubbermat, which in turn hides its share of car crap, like starter cables. My wife asked why I put all that back into the car. It took myself by surprise to realize how concerned I would be to get stranded if the starter cables stayed at home…devades of crap car ownership leaving a mental burning mark, I guess.

      I have to carry jumper cables as a minor compulsion but I have not used them in years. What freaks me out is not having a spare tire, only a can of Chinese silly string. I’m compelled by the forces of righteousness to buy a real spare tire, jack, and lug wrench.

      I’ve only used mine to start other people’s cars.

      I fortunately don’t have any superstitions. It drives my wife crazy, because she’s full of them.

      I always stash a bit of cash in every vehicle I buy to Drive. Better to have it and not need it .

      I take a pretty complete set of tools on very significant road trip. I don’t recall ever not needing them.

      I don’t think I’ve ever had a flat in any of my personal cars, but at the same time, I always carry a breaker bar and 3/4 spark plug socket since my lug nuts are too recessed on my summer wheels for the factory wrench.

      I believe that having tools to repair a breakdown reduces the risk of it. So far it has proved out, I haven’t had to tow a car for a long time and my son’s beater Buick hasn’t let him down.

    I just have to throw this in for Five-Wheel Friday (though it could be argued that it has seven wheels)…

    Just saw a LinkedIn post from the chief engineer at Panoz. They are shutting down. Sad day.

    My favorite five wheel setup was the guy who used a Goldwing with a sidecar to carry his Bultaco Astro dirt track racer.
