Friend of the site Phil from Toronto sent us this, as he was waiting in line at the local Tim Horton’s. It was shot with a low-res camera, but I’ve played with it in Photoshop a bit to point out the emphasis.
It’s a Lexus with a red rotator in the back window. To top it off, the license plate “To The Scene” adds a little bit of charm to the cake.
Thanks for the submission!!
There was no front page announcement for tonight’s net, nor was there a scheduled net control, so I picked it up and took 7 comments on topics including snow, coffee, fire and colonoscopies.

An anonymous contributor visited the Gray, TN hamfest last Saturday. While there were many hamsexy people in attendance, there were two vehicles that stuck out. Our anonymous contributor thus spake:
Went to Gray, TN hamfest (Near Bristol) and found a couple of “Hamsexy” cars in the parking lot. (Click on the images to see them in their full glory)
Now THIS is an antenna system. Why waste all that money buying a tower, putting in concrete, guy wires, and turnbuckles, etc. when you can just take it with you all in one package!!!
Be careful of any bridge or overpass as you go. I don’t think the Brooklyn Bridge would be enough clearance if this were going under it.
Thanks, Mystery Man! Keep your Hamfest photo submissions coming – our submission e-mail address is hamsexy.submissions@gmail.com – we appreciate and will publish any and all (most) submissions. Take care!
November 10th marked the 231st birthday of the founding of the United States Marine Corps.
Best wishes to all who have served and continue to serve. Thank you putting your lives on the line to preserve our freedoms.
While we at Hamsexy don’t subscribe to the ham-elitist view that CB’ers are a lower form of life, this article was just too funny not to pass on.
Men take CB radio feud outside, wind up injured
By April Hunt

Posted November 12 2006
“What they were thinking, I have no idea,” said Apopka police Sgt. Jerome Miller. “It’s just strange.”
Frank J. Lukasik, 48, was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery after police said he shot Paul B. Goldman in the dispute. Goldman, 47, was arrested on a charge of battery causing bodily harm after authorities said he sprayed the chemical at Lukasik.
Both men told police they knew each other only from arguing for six years over the CB radio airwaves.
According to the police report, Lukasik announced on the radio early Saturday that he was going to the Wal-Mart on U.S. Highway 441 to buy a gift. Goldman replied he would be there “to settle their dispute and that he would have something for him [Lukasik],” the report said.
About 7:30 a.m., a witness reported seeing Lukasik walk to Goldman’s truck with his hands in his pockets. Goldman got out of his vehicle, and the two men began arguing.
Lukasik told police he only pulled out the .380-caliber Colt and fired toward Goldman when the man sprayed him with Mace. The witness said Lukasik took out the gun first but only fired after Goldman pulled out the spray.
Apopka Fire took Goldman to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was treated briefly for a head cut, from the bullet grazing his scalp.
The topic for tonights net was: Other than the Hamsexy net, what are your local EchoLink/IRLP nodes used for?
This was, admittedly, a pretty lame topic. Checkins include:

So there you have it. Net control next week will be James K2JSV. Hopefully he will come up with a more entertaining topic.
Note: I had deleted this post due to a flamewar that had erupted on the comments page. Since Bryan was so displeased about that, I have restored it.
