Profit From Cars

If you see someone doing stupid things with cars there's a good chance the hope to profit from it.
I'm not talking about impaired drivers or hold my beer, but calculated stunts to amuse.

Now it's usually looking for money for nothing from clicks for free.

No harm no foul I guess.

The latter one could definitely harm.

He's not going out of the parking lot with that one because he can't turn the wheels far enough to turn a corner without the tire rubbing the paint. Just for shock (click) value.

Not to mention those extensions would never hold up.
It would make for a pretty spectacular failure at speed, though, which byItSelf would make for good clickBait..

Saw this driving in Norwalk, OH a few days ago.

That is sort of like what dealers did to new cars at the beginning of the model year.
Back when the cars changed every year and when they looked different form each other.

that's cool!

I believe our from Diamond Jim is right about the camouflaging attempt.

Yes, it's camo but not a dealer, this is a manufacturer doing real world testing on a new model, or more likely new sheet metal on an existing model.

I'm pretty sure Bruce is correct about that.
I was wondering what mfg, looks kinda fordish to me.

Definitely Ford, look at the mirror.

Mirror? I thought that was an air brake.

yes, we see cars like this around here a lot -AA is within COVID distance of Detroit and home to many engineers etc. who work for the big manufacturers.
