Default Drive you V8 Day, how many would be intereted

SO, June 20th is "Drive your V8 day!" and I was think of a scavenger hunt type challenge that would have you take pictures of your V8 as you take it out for a "nice" stretch your legs kind of drive. for example.....


A street with a character from the Andy Griffith show in it....ie Fife Ln (Barney Fife), Earnest St (Earnest T Bass) etc etc


A static military display...ie a cannon at a VFW post or a plane on a pedestal.


A picture at a major water way (river, ocean or lake) not a retention pond or a farm pond


A picture of a farm animal at a fence


and try to get as many of them "on a list" as you can in ONE drive!!!!


ANY Interest?????


I am working on a longer list now!!!

Need a mask to drive some places??
Here in taxafornia we don’t need a mask to ride or drive in a car unless there are people in the car that are not from the same household.

Here are my brother and I on a cruise on National Drive your V8 Day, beside our respective V8 vehicles. The truck is a 1976 F250 that was purchased new by my Dad. We are on the shore of Lake Erie, with Canada in the background.

I had a drive in my '38 today. I had forgotten that today was the day until I saw it here to to remind me, so no pic. Nothing scenic around here, anyway.

92 degrees here this afternoon.

Our EFV8 Regional Group #38 went on a very abbreviated tour on account of the weather being threatening.

Getting a little late in the day but the sun isn't down yet. I might make it. I did have mine out on the road a couple of days ago when the scenery was much nicer than today.
