No, he’s into sniffing art. “Snarting,” one might say. Jake gets sensory overload with all the disgusting smells downtown. He loves it and has to pee on everything. He got so carried away that he started to pee on a car. He never pees on cars. Thanks, Dale.
I gave Jake a piece of my sandwich. He spit it out. I threw it in the trash for a few minutes, dug it out while he was watching, offered it to him, and he ate it. It wasn’t quite gross enough to pre-trashcan.
By the time she had moved out here, she found lower to the ground cars hard to get into and out of. Near the last couple of years she said my Highlander, which she had never liked, was the only vehicle she could get into and out of. 🤔🙂
Did you just randomly spot them walking downtown? Did you buy one? Did your family secretly own the original DinkyCars® factory in the South Western US which actually produced these, and THAT’s how you made your fortune?
Those trucks are in the window of the old Maisel’s Indian Trading Post building. Skip Maisel closed the trading post in the summer of 2019. There’s no way I could purchase those trucks if I wanted to.
How could you not try one of those with a name like THAT! Never was in to the T-Birds – Chevy man myself then married into a Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth family and had to give that up. Linda grew up on the dirt track race circuit and used to muscle cars (father and brother were service managers at Chrysler and built the cars for the drivers). She always claims the real fun was the during and after race fights in the pits hehehe.
We were Rambler, International, Dodge and Ford on American cars. I had a VW beetle and a VW Thing (we still have a 1966 VW Beetle). My favorite car was my 1979 Renault Le Car. It was great. I drove it until the wheel were truly about to fall off. Over 250K miles. Now we drive Mazdas. Thanks, Brian.
Yes we do! Not like before, but we do!
One is on the lake east side of downtown. 3 are in the burbs and one is a drive out. Ya know, This summer we will go again!
Off Center & Not Even 
Now THAT’S a car!
Has Jake taken up drawing?

Snarting! Love it. And I bet he does. Gross to us is exciting to them.

Buahahahaha!!! Dogs truly are the grossest!!
My mother talked about wanting a T-Bird since the mid-50’s. She never got one…🙂
That was too bad. There was a remake of them some years ago. I guess she didn’t like them? Thanks, Susan.

Understandable.
I can’t see enough detail to undetstand the art, but I understand “cute pupper”, so it’s all good.
Around here, those toy trucks would be gone in a millisecond!
I don’t think there was anything to understand in the art. It was scrawl to be shuffled by doggies. Thanks, Leenda.
That car…….difficult to squeeze into a small parking space. I’ll just stick to my Suzuki SX4.
That T-Bird is a big mother clucker. Thanks, Geoff.
I love ‘The Mother Clucker’……:)x
It’s catchy. Thanks, Janet.
The Mother Clucker is brilliant.
It’s a clever one. Thanks, Shey.
It truly is…. Made me laugh so much
Jake, did you leave a message on that ‘artboard’?
He contributed. Thanks, Marina.
Well done! 😉
Mother Clucker! 🤣😂
Thanks, Nancy.
Oh, my Uncle had a T Bird like that.
I like the T-Birds from the 50s. Thanks, Nancy.
That last picture… are those vintage wooden toy cars in a shop window? My phone’s too small for me to see.
That’s what they are. Thanks, DR.

Great cluckers, Tim all of them !
💓
Thanks, Cindy.
An interesting slice of life downtown, Tim. I wonder how they manage to get replacement parts for cars that old. Must be a lot of custom work.
There are probably a lot of aftermarket parts. Thanks, Lavinia.
Jake, hand cut French fries, and a super car that brought back memories to so many, Tim.
Thanks, Inchy.
I love the T-bird and old toy cars!
They are great. Thanks, Brad.
Cool T-Bird. Do you know what year it is?
I would guess mid-60s. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.

This is a fun group of photos, Tim. I think you captured the spirit of Albuquerque. Hugs.
There’s a lot of mother cluckers up here. But I know you have your share. Thanks, Teagan.
What year is that T-bird? 80’s?
Norm had a Trans-Am 1978 with a V-8 sticking out of the hood. He bought it in the late 80’s – early 90’s – used.
We sure had fun in that thing!
I think the T-Bird is mid-60s. Not sure. That Trans’Am would be fun. Thanks, Resa.
It was SO FUN!
We went to the drive-in as much as we could. I’m glad we did. Such great memories.
I heard you still have drive-ins in Toronto. Ours have been gone for 40 years or so.
Yes we do! Not like before, but we do!
One is on the lake east side of downtown. 3 are in the burbs and one is a drive out. Ya know, This summer we will go again!
Now what is Jake up to?
Having his senses overwhelmed. Thanks, Julie.
