There have been times, on dark-as-gently caress back-country roads, roads that I did not know well, with Farmer John barreling towards me & oblivious to the fact that he was burning out my retinas and turning my evening into a tunnel of horrors, that I dreamed of a rig like that.

For just such an occasion.

Other than the only reason for an exhaust pipe to be hanging like that is its rusted out or a hanger fell off somewhere further up the line and its an eyesore, no.

I wonder how people that do this sort of thing cannot take one look at their car and just have it hit them in the face:

That's not bad; the exhaust on my RX4 is held up by an old no-longer-elastic bungee cord attached to a hook on the exhaust and the massive rubber bumper over-riders.

I can't get the image out of my head of them holding big signs that say "God loves fags" while picketing Nicorette or whoever.

Also, I have a little trouble parsing out "It's not about me", "Mom's taxi" and "If Mom ain't happy nobody is". That last one sounds particularly creepy, like a line you'd hear uttered in a resonating hillbilly growl just at the point in the horror film where the surviving main characters think they've finally found a way to escape to safety.

It's an Abarth, either that or he spent alot of cash on decals, wheels, and that intake cover.

Saw this thing the other day when I went out for lunch.
It might be hard to tell, but that body kit in the front is all scraped to poo poo, and the rear matched it. You can just about see the enormous wing it's got too.

You really need all that rear downforce for those blistering nine seconds those front wheels take you from 0-60. He feels fast because he can't see anyone in his rear-view mirror while he maxes out at 82 in the left late, but it's really because people can't stand to drive behind him because the sun reflecting off of his "altezzas" (I'm guessing here, but just look at it. he totally has altezzas) would blind them.

It's either altezzas or smoked tail lights so dim you can't tell he's braking in broad daylight.

Don't forget the Chinese made LED bulb inserts that barely light up under the best or circumstances. That way, you get dim light and super fast blinking turn signals to really keep the people behind you on their toes.

Except for the part where that generation Quest is built in Mississippi. :rolleyes:

My favorite thing to do whenever someone starts this poo poo is to show them that their "American" car is actually assembled in Mexico or Canada.

Which one of the stickers is actually advocating that position?

ALmost all the crazy tea party cars I've seen posted in this thread and others have been Japanese marques that are built in America by non-unionized workers in union-hostile states, which is perfectly consistent with (what I understand of) their political views. Were you expecting them to drive a Government Motors vehicle built by UAW communists?

In their defense...

quote:

On a lifted truck or SUV, you’ll need to be extra careful when adapting your vehicle’s HIDs for use on the road. HID headlights must aim a fair amount lower than typical headlights, as when aimed at the usual target they can be blinding to oncoming traffic. As lifted trucks and SUVs sit higher off the road than your standard passenger car, the aiming adjustment must be made even more carefully. Though this isn’t a difficult feat to accomplish, it’s something that must be accounted for in order to maintain safe driving experiences for everyone.
