I decided that for once in my trip I should spend two nights at the same place so I could take a breather. So today, I returned down the highway I used to leave the Outer Banks to capture some of the interesting vehicles I’d seen yesterday.
As I have firmly established, my knowledge of autos other than Jeeps is effectively zero, so my definition of “interesting” rarely matches with anyone else’s. So enjoy these or not!
Apparently the Grave Digger is fairly famous.
This is a small off-road track where you can apparently enjoy a monster truck by the Grave Digger crew.
Hopefully tonight, certainly soon, I’ll post more about another fellow who likes to take the doors off non-Jeeps.

I don't mean to sound condescending at all, but yes, Grave Digger is in fact the most iconic monster truck ever. There are multiple Grave Diggers so it can be at basically every Monster Jam event.

No condescension inferred. I’ve never seen monster trucks in action, other than when “Sunday Sunday Sunday!” w ould roar over my TV as a kid during commercial breaks.

Wel l now you know about Grave Digger, so that’s your monster trucks 101. Now that you know the name, you may realize that every commercial where you hear SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY you will also hear them say GRRRAVE DIGGURRRRRRRRRR

I haven’t owned a TV in many years, so it’s possible I’ve n ever heard the name. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out next time I’m at a sports bar.

5-10 years ago I would have argued that Bigfoot was the most iconic monster truck ever, but Bigfoot’s kinda disappeared

Are you amazed at how many abandoned vehicles litter the sides of NC highways?

I do love old delivery vans, so preferably both. If I had to pick one though, definitely the Mk1 GTI. I’d love to have another tossable hatch.

Wrong!
Grave Digger is #2. Bigfoot is #1.

They must rust more slowly than back home in Indiana.

Me too. That’s what drew me into the parking lot to take those pics.

Living in Nags Head I’ve passed by all these so many times, especially the Grave Digger stuff since I work with monster trucks. The old blue Chevy is in front of a a former monster truck shop as well. Randy Brown used to campaign two trucks out of his shop. Now he’s strictly a driver.
Not sure what he’s doing with his shop these days. I haven’t kept up with him as much as I should’ve over the past few years.

I just drove that road two weeks ago. Love seeing the Grave Digger. You should do some research on Moyock Muscle. It’s a guy who used to run a muscle car junkyard and restoration spot near the VA / NC line. There’s a good book about the place called Auto Biography by Earl Swift about the place and its owner. Unfortunately, it’s been closed for several years.

I surprisingly don't have the Chevy panel/coupe mash up. I do have the added windows added into the side though.
