A Nürburgring decal right above the fart cannon. The rim in the picture was also the one in the best condition. I couldn't tell if he just curbs it everywhere or if the rim is bouncing off asphalt any time he takes a turn any faster than 2mph. loving tool.

No? If I recall this whole dumbshit "hellaflush" thing started to get around the requirement that the tire tread couldn't be outside the wheel arch in some European country, and some bozos are just too cheap to widebody a car so they can run phat rimz. Apparently Wikipedia doesn't have an article on this, but I think its thoughts on what it could be is pretty amusing:

They'd likely force you to have your entire suspension measured and certified at an approved shop and then you'd have to get inspected again. All in all, that's probably a four-figure sum right there.

I spotted a Skoda Octavia with the tackiest wheels and hellaflush out the wazoo. It had some wonderful stickers on it: "I'm not drunk, just avoiding potholes", "I hate speedbumps", "built, not bought" etc. He must have been awfully proud to drive a lowered Skoda, I guess. I really liked the "I love sushi" with a picture of cunnilingus being performed, very classy indeed. The kicker was the "No fat chicks, tires will rub" sticker, considering that he and his girlfriend were at least 150kg each. I wonder what she thinks. Unfortunately I couldn't snap a picture. The owner was sitting inside the shop it was parked in front of, sending me the death eyes the whole time. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Sep 3, 2012 |

So you have hard evidence that 100% of people with legal exemptions to carry loaded firearms in their cars are immune to road rage, and its impossible to think that they might haul their gun out and point it/shoot it at someone who cut them off (etc.) when its easy to get at?

I've cut enough people out of cars to know just how much crap comes loose and flys around when you get hit hard (or hit something hard). Something about having two pounds of presumably loaded pistol ready to fly about the cabin seems like a really bad idea. Of course, lots of idiots run around with them jammed between the seat and center console, so I suppose this is a "better solution."

Even if it stays right there, I can't imagine it'd do your legs any favours in a crash. It doesn't even seem like it would be that easy to access. Why not have it on the side of the centre console?

No weapon made in the last half decade will discharge no matter how hard it's struck. This is just the equivalent of people who drive around with un-anchored subwoofer boxes in their hatchback.
