Red Shifted
In physics redshift happens when light seen coming from an object is proportionally shifted to appear more red. Redshifts are attributable to the Doppler effect, just like changes in the apparent pitches of sirens and frequency of the sound made by speeding vehicles. There's just something about a red car that shouts speed! Whoever coined the phrase 'looks fast sitting still' was almost certainly looking at a red car. This is my ode to those out-there, in-your-face, bodacious redheads.

Platespotting
Custom Plates abound on the Emerald Coast. Some describe the driver, others the car. A few allude to hobbies, some make obscure references. (See if you can spot the Happy Days fan). A few appeal to the better angels of our nature and some to our baser instincts. A couple show affection for a loved one and and one left me laughing, hard.
