Late 2001 - Early 2002. I paid 79� in south Texas, and my kids are going to drat well hear about filling up for a twenty with enough left over for a six pack and smokes. NEVER FORGET :911:

(don't smoke, and I was underage, but who's counting)

I received one of the best notes in my life outside of a Kmart parking lot from a car diagonally parked. The rear end in a top hat parked in three spaces up near the front. So I parked on top of him, boxing his drivers side door in. I took a quick picture of his license plate and parking job for "if the enraged new owner of a Camaro attacks" and went it. It was like a five paragraph rant on the back of a McDonald's receipt. It was awesome.

I used to pull this all the time when I rode my motorcycle all the time with people that would take up two spots. Amazingly I never had it pushed over.

God those things are hideous. I assumed they looked so bad because they were on a raised Monte Carlo and it just looked wrong as gently caress, but no they really do look that bad on every car they're put on.

I don't see much of car culture in small town Central IL. The only things we have are Route 66 festivals, which tend to be cars that are properly restored and belong in the good thread.

Though this was at a car show recently:

This is no joke, my high school dream car.

I would dent my own van and then pull it in front of customers to demonstrate my skills.

I did some software development for a PDR network back in college. Whenever we had prospective clients fly in, our standard operating procedure was to dent the hell out of their (rental) car, and have one of our network PDR guys come by and work his magic during the meeting.

Sorry the image is a bit poo poo, I took it from inside my mail truck which is itself pretty terrible car stuff. The cab of this truck is two E-150 cabins married together at the b-pillar, and the front cabin appeared to have been from an ambulance (red and white lights at the side marker). I guess that's one way to get a quad cab.

I'm going to go ahead and be the guy that says it's okay to do that with a nice car at the rear end end of the (almost empty) parking lot, and double parking is one of the things that irrationally infuriates me the most.

I had someone describe their Honda Civic EX as a nice car. So I don't think that metric works.

When I was in high school I could fill up my car with a jackson and have enough left over for a pack of smokes and a six pack.

Outside the metro areas (I'm looking at you San Antonio), even non-gross women might be driving something like that. Granted they might also raise hogs for show at the county fair, but hey, what are you going to do?

Before you sign any document with a dealer, make sure to add to the agreement that no badges or stickers will be affixed to your new car. Or at the very least get them to agree to pay for the removal and eat any costs related to paint repairs. Failing that, see if they'll knock a couple thousand off the price to pay for the advertising.

As for putting on a sticker when taking routine maintenance, I'd blow a gasket if anyone did that to me.

I saw this one backfire, some dude bought a Prius and wanted the decals removed, which they did. However the idiot that did it removed all the decals, including the CARB HOV Access stickers.
