are the grooves cut into the I-15 into Las Vegas to create an unpleasant vibration for truckers above a set speed?

notice that this is the right / slow lane, the one trucking is supposed to stay in.

I ask, and please verify or explain otherwise if you know, because while driving 26 ton cargo vans, I found that certain parts of I-15 and I-163 here in San Diego have a wave pattern that only starts to make your truck "buck" like it's a a very fast teeter totter if you get over 55 or 65 miles an hour

Why do car companies go through any trouble to attempt to disguise a car, and then drive it on the 405, at 1 in the afternoon on a Saturday?

I think a couple minutes with searching through the 2013 models would reveal what car company made this, just with a couple little things that they aren't disguising. The door handle design, the truck lid to bumper profile, the gas filler door location, the rim design, etc etc. So why drive it in public in LA, with Michigan plates if it isn't trying to stand out like a ugly goosling among ducks?

This is a test of the emergency memory system... It was the "WKRP in Cincinnatti" TV show opening moment. Can anyone identify the type of car?

Mark got it as an MGB

It it is a MGB. I got the TV show right away, but because it started in 1978 I guessed cars from that era and my first (very uncertain) guess was a Fiat Spyder. Then, after exchanging e-mails with Jesse, I started thinking that maybe the car was a lot older than the series. I went straight to British Leyland and thought any Triumph (including the Spitfire) from the TR4 to the TR6 because I knew that they came with a wooden dash. I even suggested a Midget or Sprite, but frankly I have never seen an MGB with a wooden dash so I discounted it. I was wrong. There are plenty of MGBs with such dashes on the net. Jesse was, I think jokingly, peeved when I got the show. He said he made the clue too easy, but I don’t know how many others came up with the answer. MWindham

Kelly is curious about cars in her family's really old photo albums, can anyone identify these cars? If so, please use the comment function, or email me directly so I can thank you proper, and credit the correct people!

Nancy and Dennis were first to respond with "The first one is a home built body, not sure of the make. Second, both are post war GM, one in back is '47 Chevy. Third and fourth, '47 Chevrolet Fleetmaster and it was Easter. Fifth, definitely not a Ford! Might be a Plymouth. Last is a '41 Ford Super Deluxe with a lot of aftermarket accessories. Fog lights, bumper ends, headlight visors, spotlight, radio antenna on fender (stock is above windshield)."

 I think the car on the right is the same as the car below in the front, and rear view photos. Tom says the car on the left looks like a 41 Chev

 Just a guess that the above and below are the same car

Robert commented "2nd pic, car on the left looks like a 41 Chevy, the 4th pic looks like a 37 Plymouth"

 above is likely older than 1937, that is the year Fords started putting the headlights half into the fenders

my email is jbohjkl@yahoo.com

I'm pretty sure the bottom one is a 1940 Ford Super Delux
