Not so hard if you happen to know where one is parked. It's a Canadian Harvard MK.4 pilot trainer brought into service in July 1939, in case anyone wants to know.
Next: boxster at a drive-in burger stand

I dunno, Spinnaker...how can we be sure this is your Boxster, or that you're not an exceptional photoshopper? 
(Before anyone actually takes this seriously, I'm only kidding, Spinnaker has his point, and we're waiting on someone to complete Mark_T's challenge. Onward!)

What is a 'drive-in burger stand'?
It that like a McDonalds drive through?

You usually find them in small towns. They are, like, a small building, basically a kitchen, on a parking lot. They generally have a window on the front where you walk up and place your order, and then when it's ready they call out your number and you pick it up and sit in your car to eat it. Sometimes they have carhops that come to you and take your order. Some of them might have a few picnic tables around the outside for patrons to use if the weather is nice. Up here they are typically seasonal, closing down for the winter months.
But no, not a drive-thru like Mcdonalds. A drive-in, like A&W used to be.

To me that sounds like a Sonic would suffice. It may be a bigger chain, but it's in the spirit of the old drive-in joints.

I'd never heard of Sonic but I just looked at a few pictures on Google. I had something a little more 60's era, Mom&Pop, wooden shack-ish in mind, but I suppose it would technically qualify.
Heck, if we're accepting toy cars photoshopped into side mirror reflections then I guess practically anything goes.

It wasn't Photoshopped, it was the actual reflection. In fact, I have never used Photoshop ever.

Sorry Spinnaker - my bad. I thought it was a doctored photo. Please accept my most humble apology.

As was stated in the rules, no photoshopping allowed.
I think I may actually be able to get this picture, but unfortunately I may not be able to do so before the time limit is up...maybe I'll throw it up here anyways even if Mark_T has to meet his own challenge. We do have a place like that in a nearby town where one of the local car clubs held a weekly cruise over the summer...come to think of it, that's also where I could have taken my pic with the air-cooled '63 Bug.

Brilliant Idea
Here's an idea! Let's post pictures and challenges and cut the cr@p. It's boring to check this thread and find twenty postings of whining and counter-whining.

You're whining about the whining?
Sorry our conversation isn't sufficiently stimulating for you.

Better idea: You could help that along by meeting the challenge with a picture of your own and get a point, otherwise looks like you're doing the same thing you're complaining about.

In other news, though I'm getting to this much later in the day, the 24-hour time limit for Mark_T to meet his own challenge has passed as of shortly past noon today. I'm afraid I will have to dock your most recent point, Mark_T, and you will have to present a new challenge for people to meet. Please post your new challenge ASAP.
And to Spinnaker, while I appreciate your revealing of your secret (impressive because I thought the reflection in your mirror was a photo), please refrain from posting pictures that are not meeting the most current challenge. We don't want anyone getting confused...it's bad enough that there are pretty big gaps between pictures and challenges due to conversation.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were waiting on me - thought we were still waiting for someone to take the challenge. Dock the point if you want, but here's the pic:
Next: Boxster at a show'n'shine

Wow - I really seem to be hitting the cultural differences here It's a basically a local carshow. Usually one car club, or sometimes an event like a local fair, will sponsor it and invite other local car clubs to attend. They can happen at parks, parking lots, exhibition grounds, etc. Everyone shines up their car and brings it out to show it off.
We have a local restaurant, The Pony Corral, that sponsors one in their parking lot every Sunday night over the summer, featuring a different car group each week. The local PCA is featured at least once each summer. They have prizes, local radio stations set up camp, and it's pretty much a big tailgate party (is that another expression no-one knows?)

Around here we call them cruises/meets/gatherings. The place I mentioned called Bart's is where one of those happened every week this summer hosted by one of the local car clubs.

There's an event called "Mark's Cruise Night" that happens every Monday over the summer and does the different car group/model thing each week, as well (Mustang night, Firebird/TA night, etc), but anything and everything shows up. The last one I went to had over 910 cars (I was 908), which blew my mind. There wasn't much grass to be seen in the field, it was pretty covered with cars.
So yeah, we know what you're talking about, at least I do, just by different names.

Piece of cake when you have one in the garage already. Didn't have to leave the driveway again.
Next - Boxster on a red brick road
