"Through the windshield" picture thread

How about some pics taken out the window while driving (or riding)? Or if your truck is not on the road yet, get behind the wheel and have some one take a pic of you "driving"....
Post up your pics!!!!!!

I'll start......last weekend we took a little cruise through Glacier National Park. Great scenery, a little smoky but still a beautiful drive!

Picture not through the windshield since there isn't a windshield.


The truck I'm riding in is a 99 year old TT that my friends' (two brothers) grandfather bought new in the next town over. It was purchased as a cowl & chassis and had a home made flatbed built for it when new. My friends' father rebuilt the truck in the late 70s and joined the Model T club with it. The older brother built a framework to hold bus seats a few years back and it is now the safari wagon.


The truck we are following came from a neighbor's farm. It is one of the last 10,000 or so Model Ts built. It is totally unrestored and has a home made cab and bed. The rear tires are from the WW2 era.

Is that Flathead Lake? I was watching the sun go down over that lake from the Bob Marshall Wilderness area in 1968 when I was supposed to be hunting deer.

It is one of my fondest memories. Except the the sun was going down, and I was miles from the truck!

It is sad to see them go! I do have a question - is that flame coming out of the exhaust? On the right just below the bumper in the first pic and the on the left in the second pic.

Here's one of Pegysu on the way back from the Smokey Mountain F100 show. The sky opened up and just poured downed on us and my wipers pooped out.

How about a video. I apologize though. I get excited and mis-speak. It has a dash but no speedometer and gauge cluster and later I mention dash again when I mean grille.
