    Several blocks to the south of my house

    Art Car with Kelly Lyles

    She's had a lot of fun with vehicles

    And in case you are wondering. Yes, it's different. And guaranteed to bring smiles to people's faces (or at least a quizzical look)

    It's evident she likes to horse around with cars. Is it TCL approved?

    Who cares. She's enjoying life.

    It's a "Hybird"

    It's nice that phones are so fast on the draw. Hopped out of the car and I had like seconds to get these off before he was off revving down the street.
