low key

once in a while you can set aside time for sustained rest...a bit of shopping in the morning and then park the car for the day, putter about the neighbourhood, move some household dust to another corner, sit back and read a bit, and eventually conjure enough warming stew for two or three dinners...but such relaxed days can also turn out relatively uneventful, when the only big moment is the neighbour's car, with the motor seized up and repairs costing more than it's value, being towed away...low key thrills on the west side of town

Bits of life that make us all interesting and interested. Nice spotting of it.

Looks like the kind of excitement that has been happening around here lately. We do not even have the neighbors car being towed off. Nice candid V

Phew! Thought perhaps you were having motor troubles. Good catch of suburban life.

Where would we be without the activity of neighbours to watch. The truck doesn't look to be in much better nick :0)

Good photojournalism. Looks like the car has grounded on the ramp!

Great story, I guess cars art worth less and less these days and are no longer worth repairing. Nicely capturd street scene. v

The car looks in much better condition than the tow truck!

Looks like the driver is trying to urge the car up the ramp. At least he doesn't have far to go. V

I should say great action shot but I am sure your neighbour did not like the action much. Well seen David...

The last ride of the Taurus well documented. I like your commentary David. "V"

Most frustrating experience to have your car towed away and even more painful to receive a fat bill for the repair...V

An amusing image, David. The car looks to be well kept,
pity about the engine dying. V.
