Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 01/10/2026Facebook reminded me that today is the five-year anniversary of the beginning of my month-long Route 66 road trip. It started by picking up my brother from prison, like in the Blues Brothers. (I don't have a brother.) 010
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 16/09/2026What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you’ve seen it? 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 09/09/2026The T: The thing preventing you from getting from point A to point B. 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 16/06/2026I have bunch from the Air Force museum. Is that where you were? 100
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 15/06/2026Fun fact: The REAL Air Force One livery goes back to the Kennedy Administration. JFK and Raymond Loewy, who also designed the Studebaker Avanti, collaborated on this design. 100
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 15/06/2026The new livery's similarity to Trump's personal Boeing 757 is no doubt a mere coincidence. 200
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 28/05/2026Every day, I look through car news to find articles to write. These two were on my screen at the same time: "Ferrari aims to prove doubters wrong after divisive debut of electric Luce" "Hyundai Wants to Make Your EVs More Involving With Fake Shifts in More Cars" 110
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 27/05/2026This was my manual VW. It began life as a Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition. Then I chopped off most of the back and installed a Smyth Performance ute kit. I love how it drove, before and after the “weight reduction.” 010
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 29/04/2026This past week, instead of working, I’ve been visiting family in New Hampshire and showing my wife where I grew up. It was fun, and I’m back now. 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 08/04/2026In my article, I wrote that this photo looks like a screen grab from a modern remake of "Space: 1999." Here's what I mean. 🙂 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 07/04/2026I never thought I'd be living in a time like the 1960s, simultaneously marveling at moon missions and scared of nuclear war. 020
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 06/04/2026And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon 020
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 01/04/2026I was born after Apollo ended. I never thought I’d see a live moon launch. But here we are. 020
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 31/03/2026I got a new house! Same location but my wife and I will be building out the interior and moving into it ourselves. The delivery process was interesting, to say the least, but all’s well that ends well, and here it sits. 140
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 17/02/2026I don't think even them Duke Boys could make that jump. 020
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 24/01/2026It’s easy to tell which cats have never seen snow before, and which has been there, done that. #catsky 020
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 21/01/2026I didn’t realize my mother-in-law’s washing machine was a Ford. 100
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 12/12/2025I’ve seen one of them myself, during its brief ill-advised name change to something other than the Weinermobile. 010
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 30/11/2025QOTD: Five cars you’ve seen (includes museums and shows). 1. The BMW M1 painted by Andy Warhol 2. McLaren F1 3. James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 4. Travis Pastrana Airslayer STI 5. KITT from Knight Rider 110
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 20/11/2025According to the new baby scale, this chonker weighs 14 pounds! 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 14/11/2025I just read an article about AI that, at the end, revealed itself to have been written by AI. Ouroboros, anyone? 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 13/11/2025Here’s the best #aurora picture I could get. You’re welcome. 030
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 11/11/2025An appropriate (or inappropriate) song for today, thanks to @xkcd.com . 24816
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 07/11/2025As an American, I don’t blame you a bit. I hope one day this is all over and there’s still an America to welcome you back to. 110
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 28/10/2025I forgot I took this picture on a ride two weeks ago. I’ve been sick most of the time since and haven’t been thinking about motorcycles, which is itself a sign that I’m sick. So here it is. #motosky 0203
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 27/10/2025I can’t blame you. It’s serious Star Trek IV vibes down here. 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 16/10/2025Believe it or not, my Ford Transit has the same ten-speed automatic as the Mustang. While it does hunt for gears at times during normal driving, manual mode works great for locking it into gear for hillclimbs, descents, or any other time I want to be in control. That's what you need on the track. 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 20/09/2025This creek usually only runs in the spring. It’s been dry for months, but a day of thunderstorms made it flow again. 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 02/09/2025I kept getting drawn back to Bagheera, the black jaguar at @turpentinecreek.bsky.social . He reminded me a lot of my own black cat in his behaviors. I didn’t even know there were black jaguars besides the cars! I wouldn’t want this one lying on my hood, though. 😊 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 02/09/2025We visited @turpentinecreek.bsky.social this past weekend. These tigers seemed to be stalking us, pacing pack and forth as we watched from just a few feet away. One even growled on occasion. It was a little scary, even though I knew they couldn’t get to us! Neat encounter, though. 000
Justin Hughes @justinhughes54.com · 29/08/2025I mean, it worked for me, for many of the same reason, plus an apartment fire forcing my hand… 110
