What does your railfanning vehicle look like?
Thanks to Mike and his pic of his truck to get me thinking of this. Most of us know what each other look like due to the picture post, but what do us railfans drive to see trains? It would be nice to recognize a vehicle that I know a friendly railfan drives.
So start posting!!

One can make a mistake and own up to it, but still feel guilty.

Bluewaterfan, great bumper sticker! Where'd you get it?

Inspired by Zack's shot, I'm posting these old, train-related pics (I have newer, MUCH nicer ones sans trains, though):
When did you take your shot like this, Zack?

Yeah, Chris needs to break that thing in by running it down a few wet and dirty country roads while chasing a train (while obeying all local and state laws, of course. heh heh). Only then can it be christened a railfan's car.leo28150 wrote:No attennas' for the scanner? No McDonalds wrappers up the the dashboard? It's clean--you call this a railfan car??? JT and Zack will tell you it doesn't qualify---yet....

Norm: Well, I don't know why I choose to embarrass myself, but here is the reality. I saw that roadrailer coming and stopped. Never thought about gates at the crossing. Thought the engineer was going to fall out of the cab, he was laughing so hard.
Just one of those senior moment days.

Chrisracer: Hey, I just got the car cleaned last week. I take many dirt roads with this car and a-few "Slight driftings" here-and-there. Most of the times my car gets very dirty when following my friend Mike Tabone on really rouge, dirty, and muddy roads that he takes. So this car can really take it! I'm getting a scannar soon so you will see an antenna on it by Christmas. I can't do much to the car's appearance because it's a lease. Hopefully I'll get a Jeep Liberty Sport soon in black! -Chris
