 I see a van that almost certainly had a trailer hitch, and a trailer that most certainly would have fit on said hitch, forever joined in the holy bonds of Bubba's inevitably bad welding.  What Bubba has joined together, let no man put asunder.

This...can't work for long. If enough people get in the van it has to snap the welds...right? Either way, not safe in any way.

gently caress... I can't tell. Is this car hilariously self-aware, or un-ironically terrible? Either way, WHY put this much effort into a car like this? So many questions. Brand new paint  Sick, bro.

Ditch the "ZX2 COOL" banner and the hood scoop and it's...well it's still terrible but the paint doesn't look horrible and it looks like it's been taken care of. Hell lower it an inch and throw on some decent wheels and I'd drive it.

I'm pretty sure that's a reference to some poster here a while back who was talking about Contour SVT's being as fast/faster than an M3 of the equivalent vintage

Before I clicked to enlarge the photo, I thought it was something like a large crew cab truck on a semi frame. or something just moderately stupid. Then I clicked and just started laughing.

It's taken me looking at it three times to finally come to the same conclusion that no, it's not a van body slapped in place of a normal cab on a long-rear end heavy-duty truck frame. That's frightening, to put it mildly.

This is probably more a "terrible driver stuff" thing... http://www.telegram.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20130316%2FNEWS%2F303168861%2F1101%2Flocal "Police stop woman driving with 4 flats" Turns out she crashed her car while driving drunk and continued driving it with 4 flat tires.

A few winters ago I was on the inner-city freeway between my place and the main road to BC and saw a CR-V in the left lane cruising along with its right front wheel at a 45 degree camber angle, toeing in and out when it went over bumps. It was blowing snow and super nasty that day so I assumed they had slid into a curb near the onramp and were trying to limp it to a shop. I immediately did what was right and gunned it past it and tried to get as far away as fast as I could before it collapsed going 70kph, spun across two lanes and killed both of us. The next day I was on a different 80kph inner-city freeway and saw a CR-V of the same colour and age wedged into the concrete jersey barrier dividing the roadway, missing its right front wheel and most of the right front hub and suspension. I still wonder if that was the same car and how you would think even limping it that short distance was a good idea at that speed.

It was blowing snow and super nasty that day so I assumed they had slid into a curb near the onramp and were trying to limp it to a shop. I saw something similar back in December. A Ford Ranger in front of me was going, and the truck would suddenly just start SHAKING side to side like it was in an earthquake. I didnt know what to think. This was on a city street, 2 lanes one direction, 2 the other. I pulled into the right lane, but stayed back. The truck was going fine, then all of a sudden his passenger side front wheel started wobbling like the lug nuts weren't even on there - I can't really describe it. It was like a spinning top that is about to fall over. As this happened, the cab again went to shaking like crazy. This went on for about 1/2 a mile before I said "gently caress this" and just sped around him and got on the interstate. The last I saw him was in my rear view mirror merging into 70MPH traffic.
