Like Peter Falk, you have one good eye?

I really like this one. What a place if you lived in Stockholm, I would so love to air b-n-b it for a week.

Yes, late 60s probably Cosworth pre ground effects Indy car, like Graham Hill's 66 winner below. But, what's significant is the number one. Usually the previous year's USAC champion carried that number all year, so, this was driven by a winner, but I dont think it won Indy.

yeah or it could be same era F1 lotus (my guess) or lola.

Indy car because its offset to the left.

Good eye (also), didn’t catch that.

on that whole garage tho, fuck I think I wanna be rich. 15 garage bays, 20 +- cars including at least 3 vettes, Ford gt, microbus, gullwing Benz sl, bimmer z8, few ferraris (off screen to left in this pic) and is that a fucking delorean in the back center right, next to the sl? Probably still has the coke in it.

Anyone know what this pedestal is for? Telescope? Rifle? Heliograph system for talking to friends on distant mountain peaks?

Yep

That body looks like a Lotus 25. The offset might just be parallax, but if it isn't, it's probably a replica setup for ovals.

Don’t know proper name of the device but it’s used for pinpointing locations. A map goes inside the circle. Used by fire lookout stations in the days before satellite and aerial observation

That’s kind of a shitty place to locate it though. Should be closer to the windows facing the Three Sisters, not the neighbors house (or maybe this is inside the guest house?)

Osborne fire finder, a type of alidade.

And I agree, it deserves to be in the center of the look-out.

Edit - Wooley12 beat me to it.

…nicely summarizes why that area is a shithole.

Guess that’s why those lots are only 40 mil

It’s almost like ‘Murica has a poor, dark underbelly.

I’ve never been in that house, but I lived in Dupage County for twenty five years. My next door neighbor was in the “salvage business” and his house was suspiciously similar.
We called it modern hood.

Holy shit, that's awful. The decorator needs to be brought to justice for crimes against humanity. I hate every single lighting fixture in that house except the mirror ball in the garage...should have added a few more.

[Ted Striker]

An inordinate number of hard surfaced floors in that place. Do they do a lot *something* that requires hosing down?

So a kid I used to know lived in a house that was decorated along the same lines.
-Random checkerboard flooring
-One room that looked kinda like a terrarium- skylights, large hanging plants and potted mini shrubs all over it.
-Odd and bright paint schemes
-Frogs everywhere. Porcelain statuettes, paintings, pictures, etc. His mom loved frogs.

That house would have been a nightmare to live in.
HOWEVER…it was an amazing place to be when you were high.

A herd of animals lived in this home. Or one that was extremely poor trained. You pick

That posting belongs in WTF is wrong with white women.

Or grandma died, they emptied it, redid the kitchen, and listed it for sale. Didn’t bother changing the 1970s basement pool/bar, or similar era bedroom. Furniture is just staging shit, hence the patio furniture in the kitchen.
