Vintage Japanese Hummer (VJH)

In ABQ I took Phoebe, or, The Pheeb, as she's casually known, to get her valves adjusted and windows tinted.

When Dick from RPM called he said, "The Hummer is ready." When I told him her name he said, "Phoebe Hummer."  

As an old Marine working on an old hippie's rig; it's taken over a year for us to get comfortable with each other. The shop's motto is: Where We Do What We Say.

I'm in Albuquerque until Tuesday getting it titled etc.



Tinted windows...

The blue cylinder to the right of the windshield is a sculpture. It's supposed to evoke the "industrial" nature of the area, but is just another of the token pieces of crap Albuquerque uses to give itself credit for trying. What can I say...there're (or, in the vernacular: there's) more Walmarts per capita than any other U.S. city.


'lectric shift 4 whl dr = no hubs...tre elegante (pinky distended). 

Serendipity: the custom-built wormwood maple sleeping platform I made for Eggbert just needed to be lowered about an inch to match up with the rear section in Phoebe.

The hatch provides access to the library & wine cellar.

Note backlit dragon on dash. I am, according to the Chinese historical calendar, a dragon guy. It's purple with a very "sportive" stance....a gift from Ms. Cook who said it looks just like me.
