Reminds me of that one pic from Fuzzkill's thread (which I don't have handy, but I'm sure someone does) of his Corolla after he put the blower on it.

astoundingly, no. I managed to avoid any stupid swerving or brake-slamming, and once I realized I wasn't dead, I put my foot on the brake and slowed it down while praying that I didn't hit anything. One thing that this picture doesnt show that makes it even more fun, is that the car had a sunroof. you can see in the pic i posted where the hood is bent back from the impact with the roof. well, it hit hard enough when it did that the top slapped the sunroof and showered me with broken glass. so one minute im driving along at some miles per hour, then i cant see anything right as theres a loud metallic bang and the sound of broken glass. Probably the scariest thing to ever happen to me. Top 5 at least.

grover posted:If you can afford just to qualify for a lease on a $100k car, you're not too bad off, even if it's a stretch to make the payments. Kinda separates them from people who are busting their rear end going broke making 96-month payments on a $15k econobox, ya know? To use the example of the Escalade in front of the laundromat, a lot of those $100K cars weren't paid for with leases, they were paid with cash from mortgaging home equity against bubble-inflated values, which have since busted. So a lot of those people with $100K cars are lucky if they even have roofs over their heads anymore. So, yeah, I guess the guy making 96 month payments on a $15k shitbox is different from the guy with a 5-year old Escalade and a $200k mortgage on a $100k house.

Sorry for the blurry, it was dark, but.. No, the perspective isn't off - I could have almost driven my car under that... thing. Just wish I'd been there to see how the driver got in/out.  I could have walked under it without bending over very far..  There's a pretty awesome Rolls Royce that pops up in our lot twice a week though.  I'll try and snag a picture for the not-terrible thread next time I see it.

quite nice at first glance, not terrible at all... on closer inspection though,  he probably shouldn't park so close to the curb I guess.

Geoj posted:Its kind of vague, but it sounds more to me like the supplier of the hood latches hosed up and didn't install the secondary catch that keeps the hood shut after you pop it from inside the cabin. So the line assemblers installed latch mechanisms that were missing a critical component, not forgetting to install a latch at all. Meanwhile other manufacturers have solved the problem of needing secondary latches at all.

Not just that, but with the bottle not being at the proper angle, he's gonna be giving his local NOS filling station so much money... That whole set-up is just an abomination. Wow, holy poo poo:quote:Well, the amount of metal particles were minimal after I used a narrow wooden stick with some grease und managed to angle out most of the debris.

Carfax could probably make some money opening a "modified by an idiot" registry that permanently marks a VIN like that. I wonder how much longer after 2010 that engine lived.

 Tip: If you're going to install brake lights that have clear lenses, make sure you actually can find an auto parts store that carries red brake light bulbs. This was in Pennsyltucky. I wonder how many times they've been pulled over between here and there.  ...or did they get the wiring crossed to the back up lights? (being the H3, it belongs here anyway...)

A few terrible pickups spotted at the local you-pull-it over the last month or so. The exhaust was dangling underneath and had been cut almost all the way through right behind the muffler. I'm not sure the stack was actually doing anything.  Truly rusted datsun. Apparently it was a diesel... wait, what's that fence post doing there?  Oh god that's a stack

FuzzKill posted:Since this says terrible car stuff and not necessarily terrible car pictures, here is a thread. My favorite has to be this line at the bottom of the first page: quote:Next year my car will be out of warranty and that would be a good time to get the Hondata flashpro. How is it not "out of warranty" the moment you start pulling this poo poo? Also, judging by his post history that thing still runs too, and a quick check of the license plate(This stuff's in a public database in The Netherlands) reveals that it even passed the annual inspection.
