I can't remember why I'm mad at you...




Spotted in the parking lot of a Super 8 in North Lima, OH. The front passenger wheel is a steelie, and I don't think any of the tires were the same size. Ohiocars.jpg right there.

That will probably sell for $7,000 on craigslist because Ohio hates cheap used cars.

To contribute,

"Dodge 59 SLT V8 turbo" Not pictured are the stick on fender vents and the same letters on the side even more misaligned and falling off.


There are six handicap parking spaces in this area. That Ford is the only other car using one of them. There are also other completely unoccupied handicap spaces in this same parking lot.

Aftermarket indicator mirrors, check. Dangling stock indicator, check. Speed "vents", check. Speed lines? Check. Pep-Boys wheels, check.

This xB was on point with the APC catalog orders.

I don't see anything wrong with the mirrors and the wheels. Am I broken now?

Nothing wrong with them per-se, but adding a mirror with sidemarker in addition to the stock sidemarker is a little much imo.

There's a "Deaf Child Area" sign in the neighborhood. I sometimes wonder how they corral all the deaf children there.

The sign has also been there for 30 years, so I doubt the child is a child anymore.

No actual photos since I was too busy avoiding it - but I just had the joy of driving around a probably too-oversize oversize load. Some form of backhoe, just the cab and tracks, no implements of any sort attached. It was loaded up on a trailer similar to this:



The kind that normally has a significant curve in the deck when unloaded, higher in the center and lower at the ends, that straightens out as it gets loaded.

This thing was so heavy that the deck was actually lower in the middle than the outside, and maybe had 1" of ground clearance on level ground. It dragged pretty loving hard cresting the overpass it was coming off of the freeway with, and the chains holding the load on seemed haphazardly placed at best. Oh, and of course, no flag trucks leading or following.

Would you call highway patrol about that? I'd consider it, but then not do anything because I have places to be, and I don't know the phone number.

But I'd think about it.
