Love machine was Pedro's ride in Up in Smoke, but it was also Cheech's daily driver.
No shit, originally this car said "La Bamba" on it's rear windows but the name was changed to "Love Machine" for the picture. The windows were removed and replaced with new ones because Cheech didn't want "La Bamba" scraped off, saved until filming was complete the originals were put back in.

Church of Richie White
New Grenada is a planned community set in the desert where there is nothing for the kids to do but hang out at the local rec-center. A kid hating cop named Doberman is convinced they're all on drugs and hassles the kids and the rec-center's owner daily. The parents are so obsessed with attracting industry to their new town, they have all neglected their children. As a result, the kids begin to create their own entertainment, which involves vandalism, theft, and general hooliganism.
Filmed during the late summer and fall of 1978 in the cities of Aurora, Glendale, Lakewood and Greeley, Colorado. Many of the supporting actors were kids from the local Denver area.
According to Tim Hunter, one of the writers of the film, "The real story took place in a town called Foster City [a planned community], which was this bedroom suburb outside San Francisco.A Kid who tells on another kid is a Dead Kid!

John Henry
BENNY
Famous people are usually pretty stupid. You're too smart. You'd get bored to death. You don't wanna be like John Henry – fighting the machine. Just do what you do. It's about integrity. Follow your heart.
BASQUIAT
Who's John Henry?
BENNY
Oh man! Folklore guy – worked on the railroad. Y'know, pounding in spikes and laying down track. Then one day they invented a machine to do it. And he says "Fuck that, I'm a MAN" and he challenges the machine to a race to lay down a mile of track. It takes two days. Neck and neck the whole time. They get right to the end, and he beats it by one spike.
BASQUIAT
So then what?
BENNY
He drops dead! See?
BASQUIAT
But boom he beat it!
BENNY
Yeah but he dropped dead!
BASQUIAT
Yeah but he beat it!
BENNY
Just do your shit like you do it! Your friends like you, you pound the pussy what else do you want?.
They watch a long stretch limo cruises up across the street. The LIMO DRIVER opens the back door. Andy Warhol and Bruno Bischofberger step out.
BASQUIAT
Andy Warhol!
BENNY
boring.
Jean scrounges in his pockets, pulls out his Xerox cards, and
readies himself as Bruno and Andy enter BALLATO'S RESTAURANT.
BENNY
What're you doing? You're doing something.
BASQUIAT
He's the best painter in the world. I'm gonna give him one of these.
BENNY
Don't give him anything, man. Trade. That's what real artists do with each other. Besides, he'll just use you. He's famous for that.
Now readit again and do your best BENNY...
Always good for a laugh.

March To The Witch's Castle
February 12th, 1973
The prayers of thousands were answered
The war was over, and the first of the prisoners returned
Needless to say, it was the happiest day in up to thirteen years for most
For others, the real nightmare had just begun
The nightmare of readjustment
And for those, we will pray
Father, bless the soldier who has returned home from the war
He has fought with all his might
Yet he knew not for what or who he was fighting for
Death waited in the shadows as he crawled by night for his country
His enemies was many, including the habit he still cannot break
Father, we pray that we might understand what has happened to his mind
And help us understand his reaction
To the changes that has taken place here at home
And father, smile upon us, with your grace, for we will need you more than ever
Help him understand, that when his loved one remarried
They were truly under the impression that he was dead
And never would return
Oh lord, we pray
And father, why must wars be fought?
Someone said this war ended with "Peace with honor"
But can there truly be?
Is there such a thing?
Thousands of boys gave their life, and for what?
Do anybody know?
Oh lord, give us the strength to understand ourselves
For we are mysterious animals, man
And as the boys march home to the witch's castle
They will all need your help
I can hear them calling, calling out for you, father
For there is no one else that can help
Smile upon us, oh lord
For we are very weak
Very weak

French Porn
Created to bring some charm (à la française) to the market of mens magazines. France indeed had an outstanding reputation for erotic publications, and Lui were apparently skateboard enthusiasts as well. These two ladies graced the covers of 1977 & 1978 issues.
One of them might actually be Mike McGill,
but thats another post.
Suicide Deathride
Plans for a Suicide Deathride might go something like this...
You scrape up $250k and blow it on a Jetpack, then buy a ton of hydrogen peroxide at the corner store. Next thing you do is climb up on your roof with this 150 pound back pack, fill the fucker with peroxide, and launch yourself upward at 60mph. Now at 60mph you would get to about 2,500 feet above your roof in 30 seconds. Then what, you are out of juice and neither of these come with a parachute so you turn into a human meteor who weighs well over 300lbs and has 188 stories to fall back to earth...
Sound like fun?

Work in Progress?
This is it, the ad said needs little work to get her on the road!
"All original" seller boasted, beautiful classic stocker $1,100.
I bought it thinking, price is great and with a little work I'll be on the road. After-all a little work isn't gonna be too difficult. Right?.
What the fuck did this cat know about little work?
I hoped allot but as shit would turn out, not much!
Now I imagine the only thing he was working on was getting in his step daughters pants,or working on setting up a kitchen to cook his own brand of Orangevale Orange.
You could say I bought it Hook, Line, and Tweaker.
A few months into it now and things are starting to look up. With the help of a friend who has built several A65s I completely rebuilt the unit. We overhauled the head and cylinders, got some stuff from Rabers in SJ, and some from England. Now wiring is all that is left to truly "get her on the road" and what the fuck, once I get it on the road I'm just gonna take it apart again anyways right.
So we'll get back to this again real soon...
