Saw an Eagle Yesterday
« on: June 17, 2012, 02:34:38 AM »
Picked up the kiddo from vacation Bible school, and I heard the unmistakable sound of a 258.  I looked up to see an Eagle roar by the direction I was headed.  I was able to get a coule pictures of it.  Looks pretty solid.  Some small spots of rust here and there. 





I am pretty sure I have seen this one before in Bellevue, NE.  But that was 2009 when I used to see it regularly.  Nice to see it is still on the road.

Dude you are preaching to a choir member that is close to becoming an AMC Minister if you know what I mean.

Looks weird without the heavy chrome. Mine will be up in Bellevue sometime this Fall. You'll recognize the sound of the motor but you won't believe the sound of WOT. ::)

Your good man!! It's hard to get one nice clear pic while driving, let alone several....I just took a shot of one this morning in fact, I almost rear ended him but I got the photo!...I sometimes feel like an AMC paparazzi.
