Autumn Rides

Photo from Grubb Gardens.
I'm loving this pic of an old orange truck loaded up with the fruits of the Harvest. Pumpkins and Gourds and Bales of Hay....looks like the makings of an Autumn Farmers Market to me. I would proudly display this beauty in my front yard if only I could! Or better yet....pack on all my friends and family and head out into the woods on a chilly night, as we listen steadfastly for the cloppity clop of the Headless Horseman.....muwahahaha! In fact, I've always wanted a vintage pick-up in orange, yellow or red, just so I could use it as a photo prop!

Or how about this Autumn beauty above? Pristine vintage truck loaded for a harvest festival perhaps, or selling their wares at Saturday Farmer's market. I don't know what it is about these vintage trucks, but they seem to be the perfect match for pumpkins! Then again, is there really anything that doesn't go well with pumpkins? I think not!
Or how about this Groovy Halloween ride for all you Hippie Ghouls and Guys?! I just love this image. I got this one off of a Halloween Wallpaper App for iphone! Thought it was cute and needed to be shared! That would SO be my VW....the one with all the pumpkins on top, ha!

And while on the subject of 'rides', this next one is not pumpkin related, but I would be remiss if I didn't post this image of this fab FINAL ride. This one is for all you Hell's Angels, Bikers and Motorcycle aficionados out there. It would only stand to reason that if you were 'Born To Ride', then you should exit this world in likewise fashion. Yep...now you can take your last ride to your final destination in grand biker style via the 'Harley Hearse'! Of course if you'd have a tendency to get claustrophobic under that dank dark earth....you could always try convincing a friend or family member to just keep your skeleton in there, and let you ride shotgun for an occasional weekend excursion. And I bet you'd be the life, or rather 'death' of the party, at all Biker Bars! :o)

There is this great restored old skool truck that used to be parked in front of the 5th street market. And yes, come September, they packed the truck bed with pumpkins and hay bales. Yeah man, classy.

Personally, I want one of these kustom Ed Roth Trikes

Nothing says, "I'm a weirdo Monster Kid" like Rat Fink.

I was watching the last picture from all sides to understand what it was. Ann then i realised what you meant death of the party. It is a coffin!HAaha
Is it real?
How is the weather there? I just can't believe how beautiful this Autumn is! Sunny cool days, with the smell of dump soil and yellow leaves dancing in the air.
Have a beautiful day!

Vintage trucks and pumpkins...it is like chocolate and peanut butter. Who doesn't love a classic combination like that?
Harley Hearse is not my speed though. I like my hearses to be cars, but it is a fitting final ride for an enthusiast, I must say.
