That's one hell of a rim job... owned by an asshole.

That's just silly. And a waste of a good RX-8, IMHO. That thing was a sports car - quick off the line, fast around the corners, power down! Oops, it's on its roof!

Looks positively Amish to me.

Nah, that'd be these.

Moving along...this pic's filename indicates a Camaro, but, I'm reasonably sure that's a Mustang. Either way, it's fucked up.

Hey man, nice Pors---wait.

Attachment 36561

Now this one I like!

Attachment 36794

I especially like the miniature no-U-turn and no-left-turn signs mounted above the rear tail light.

Really?

Now I like that one.

Nice shiny summertime car - in the garage.
Reserve lifted beater car for driving in salted snowdrifts.

Good grief.:facepalm:

Great! My pimped out ride has attracted a female. Now, I'll just slide into the back seat with her and ... oh, damn.

I yielded the right of way to this guy from Ben-Hur trucking this morning. Gladly and smartly.
Attachment 37889

That's amusing but would definitely be illegal here.

You should have seen them turning. Ben Hur? Maybe Mad Max. It was pretty intimidating.

Yes they are. I've seen them on innies like that front wheel, but never on outies like that drive wheel. Pretty sure that's illegal. :ymca:

Technically, not on a drive wheel, that was the tag axle. It was deployed since the dumptruck was full. Over some stretches that thing was really bouncing!

A tag axle, or a pusher axle?

Oh, a dump truck? I thought it was a tractor.

kinda like this guy, snatched from the internet, but not this truck. similar to this truck.

Attachment 37904

I don't think I know what a pusher axle is, can you elaborate?

A pusher axle is like a tag axle.

But I think what you're talking about is a lift axle.

I bet you're right.

A pusher axle is the rear drive axle. A Tag axle is the (normally) unpowered axle. A drop axle is one that is only deployed when the weight conditions warrant an extra axle. Tractors that routinely haul nose-heavy loads use them but they are not standard equipment on tractors.

Those spiky things are legal all over the US, as they are only covers for the lug nuts, They are made of plastic or very thin aluminum. I have accidentally dented them with my thumb. I cannot speak for other countries tho. :)

All that's fine and good, but...

Could someone 'splain about the Foley, Axel?

Attachment 37912

I like how the steering wheel matches the wagon's wheels.

Attachment 37924

I can see it as a tow bar, but would that thing really work in a roll-over ?

Assuming you mean the 'handle', I doubt it.

Pole vaulting on wheels ! :rolleyes:

Shriners!!!!! We have a lot of those guys around here. They do great work....

Wow.

Kinda want.

Attachment 38788

I wonder how many miles to the galleon that thing gets...

This whole thread is so amusing, just so many "off the wall" ideas, most of them just make me say "why"?

:D

We used have a bunch Shriner activities around here, but, I don't think I've seen a fez since I was teenager.

You're a shriner? I'm sorry, I can't think of your name, but your fez is familiar...

Since I've devolved this thread to anything auto-related, it's as good a place as any for this:

from Kentucky.com

Behold; the new KY State Police cruiser.

Attachment 39055

I wonder if this will be better than the last time our Troopers tried a Chevy. Remember the whale-bodied Impalas that cops all over America couldn't get rid of fast enough? They topped out (the cop version, mind you) at around 100-110 mph. I remember listening to the police scanner one night, and hearing the absolute hatred one trooper had for his Impala, as he was completely left in the dust by a four cylinder Ford Ranger (he outran the trooper, but, he couldn't outrun the radio).

Only a few months later, I listened as a Crown Vic-driving trooper read off the license number of a Mustang GT at 140-something mph.

We'll see how this one does.

The crown vic is dead. This past spring, the testing of cruiser offerings at U-MI, where cops come from all over the country to see the cars and testing, the Chevy came out on top. The only drawback was the Chevy doesn't offer a column shift. The cops are hoping Chevy will cobble together some Aussie parts if demand is sufficient.

RIMS, PEOPLE, RIMS!!!



my god, this would be soooo cooool.

Grav, fret not! The caprice is made in my home town, and is a specialised version of the Holden Commodore. Unless it has been totally pussified for the US market, it has PLENTY of grunt and should be able to keep up with everything except overpriced supercars.

Here's the caprice:


Here's a close relative, the Holden Commodore HSV. Not sure if the Caprice gets the supercharger.


I'll stop here, else, I'll keep posting links of hoons in commodores for hours.

They better do something to keep that inside rear tire on the road in the corners, looks like a lot of lift there.

But, I guess once it's weighed down with all the sh--stuff that goes in the trunk it'll probably tame down some.

Thanks for that post Zen!

An unloaded tyre doesn't really do anything grip-wise anyway, it may as well be up in the air. What you really need is something like this...

The reality is they can't outrun the radio, and collateral damage to the public is expensive, so high speed pursuits are falling out of favor. Now they are more concerned with gas mileage, and the ability to idle for hours on end without overheating.

That's bean-counter thinking.

If you want good quality police, you have to keep the good people. One way to do that is give them a car that makes them feel awesome. What do you think all those flashing lights are really for? :D

Same thing the 355 hp will be used for mostly...

FUN!!

Cheaper to issue them Viagra.

Took these yesterday. Door left open & not a person around - weird.
I figured there was some wacky security system installed so I took the pics from a distance.

It's perfectly safe to leave that car like that...

Who the fuck would want it?

Wait...is that a video display in the passenger door?

W. T. F?

Does Xibit pimp rides in your town?

Top cheetos looks puffy, but the bottom cheetos is definitely crunchy.

What could possibly cause a car like that to crash???

Gravity.
