Terri had so many inspiring examples of numbers in her photos for Sunday Stills this week. Fortunately, Vince and I had an extreme Numbers weekend and my numbers are focused on cars.
Before I get carried away by cars I do have a singleton numbered glove picture for Yvette Prior.
Martin Auto Museum Series #1
Recommended by John Steiner, we visited the new Martin Auto Museum which recently moved to Glendale, AZ. By the way, it is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization. When you see these cars, it becomes very obvious how they could not make a profit from the $10 per person cost of photographing your way through their “more than 160 vehicles” museum. Children under 12 are free and everyone can climb in and out of these cars and have their pictures taken. It is a win-win-win.
These pictures were all taken with an Apple 12s Mini either and cropped and processed in Adobe Bridge. All qualify for Cell Pic Sunday #245.
My #1 Choice
Another Favorite
A few years ago Vince and I toured the Shelby Museum in California. This car was as memorable as any of the cars in that gorgeous museum. I can’t even imagine how much this Shelby Cobra from Mr. Shelby’s personal collection is worth but I’m sure it is a high number because of the low mileage.
In Classic Cars Speed is King
One of the most important gadgets on a car is the speedometer. They came in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few of them.
More Favorite Numbers in Various Locations
Vince and I also went to a Car Coffee Clatch at Market Street at DC Ranch Mall in Scottsdale. Some of the cars were historic. All were well above the numbers we could afford. We did find one affordable at the Martin Auto Museum Gift Shop.
I hoped you enjoyed my numerical display for Sunday Stills and John’s Cell Pic Sunday because more are coming up on future challenges. 🙂 See you ’round the Blogosphere.

How cool, though. I think it would be like driving a golf cart. I have a hybrid electric car, so it’s quiet for the first 25 miles and then hybrid. So when the engine kicks in it is noisy at first. But I guess I’m used to it. We also had an all-electric Fiat. I loved that car but it only went 80 miles, so you couldn’t do a long trip. I almost ran out of charge on my way home from Visalia once and had to drive about 15 miles an hour on the 55mph road in order to limp home in the red zone. I made it with about one mile to spare.

Compared to not having one, they’re great. I wanted one so badly when they first came out. Then my friend, Carmen, gave me hers, complete with all she had loaded on it. and a beautiful red leather case. I loved it and read like crazy. I still love my Kindle, but I’m not as voracious of a reader now as I was ten years ago when I first retired. There are too many ways to fill 24 hours each day, and I can hardly sleep as it is. 🙂

Thanks for sharing that ! I bet that a fully loaded Kindle was a wonderful gift –
And you are so right about “too many ways to fill a 24 hour day”
I hope to always include a little bit of reading – and maybe seasons of indulging and immersing – but not always
Not sure if you heard of the midnight library – I am just finishing it (we’ll plan to this next week or two now that bleak house is almost behind us – lol)
And I could have finished it sooner but as you mentioned – too many ways to folks 24 hiur day!!

Oh I think you might know a lot more than me! Hahah – but you flatter me so much when you have little comments like that!
Gosh! Do you try to edify me? Well
You have given me such a little boost – and surely I might know about some topics but like we both said before – when we scratch the Surface of knowledge and stuff- it can make most of us feel like we know a period in a paragraph!
My husband is the one who bright home a copy of the midnight library and was telling me this and that – and we joked because at first I called it the midnight train😆
But it is about regret and how unhelpful and stupid regrets can be….
And speaking of books – Trent was just noting how cool it is that you are reading bleak house!

Cee is having a challenge on car parts soon, and some of them will go there, but I took 170 pictures! I haven’t even seen Vince’s pictures yet. We sort of separated, met up, separated met up. So much fun! I met one young man who had sold a VW van to them. His boys and his father were there and I got some great pictues of them and the cars. Very fun! Oops I said that already.
