Anyhow, I cleaned up the Focus this morning and took it for an extended spin to find a cool setting for some pictures. I actually found some great rock outcrops just outside of Winesburg towards Dundee, but there wasn't really a good spot to stage the Focus in the middle. If I had a decent camera, I might have stopped and taken some pictures.
I finally found a cool little Volkswagen graveyard between Clark and Killbuck along Rt. 60 and Coshocton Co Rd 19. There were 3 VWs, an old school bus and a bunch of smashed TVs near a couple of seemingly abandoned buildings. It kind of made me wonder if it might have been a hippy camping trip gone bad...Oh well, it made for some interesting pictures.
The more that I've delved into the Focus, the more fascination and appreciation I have for the older VWs. They have developed a sub-culture around them that is probably unlike anything else in the automotive world. The typical VW trend is low, with wide wheels, stretched tires and crazy paint...all paired up with powerful turbocharged engines. It seemingly combines all of the best elements of classic hot-rodding with Sport Compact enthusiasm. Rachel was laughing at me yesterday because I was drooling over a couple of slammed VDubs...she's just lucky I didn't try to drag one of this unfortunate trio home with me this afternoon.

Just to clarify...I was not laughing at you. I was laughing at the thought of trying to get one of those over the nice little "bump" at the end of our drive. And, yes, I do count myself fortunate that you didn't bring one of those home. One project at a time please, dear.:-)
