It was already off the highway officially by the time I saw it, so it would've had to have been Phoenix PD. Thought about it but ultimately the guy was moving pretty loving fast too and I was turning the opposite way he did at the next light.

How angry of a person do you have to be to just slap a sticker on like that?

They just look like variants of parking pass? Or are you talking about the one extremely mild political sticker that wasn't applied perfectly aligned? Am I missing something here?

You're in Arkansas and only saw one car with a Media Research Center bumper sticker? Quite a few up here in Ohio, and when I was visiting Oklahoma City I thought they handed them out with your registration. Still, taking a photo of that is like taking a photo of all the cars with the various Coexist stickers out there (or Jesus fish).

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.

There is one of these near me, quite obvious it was put there some time in the 80s, and someone stenciled "NO" on the top.

Def Child Area from what I understand can be put up at the will of the people living there. Im assuming once the child grows up moves away etc, they are supposed to take it down but ive only seen those signs out in rural areas where I guess they get forgotten about.

Got one of those in my neighborhood too. It looked old when I moved in, in 1992. Still there today just mouldering away.

I couldn't quite place it but I'm sure this is the modern day AMC Gremlin.

Had to rent one to drive home from NYC last year and I will never get one again, absolutely no throttle response, beltline so high I felt like I was in an armored truck, felt like driving a tupperware container, etc.

I pulled up behind this truck at a light. My wife was laughing at all the idiocy, until we saw the "state rep" plate. That's right. This guy is an elected official here.

He was actually going to the same Mexican restaurant we were, too.

I'm not entirely sure I get get the "If it's not a baby, you're not pregnant" one. I assume it's some anti-abortion nonsense implying that "unfertilized egg" and "baby" are the binary states of the contents of a uterus?

What did he order in the restaurant? Two fried chickens please, sunny side up?

Look carefully where the white of the St Andrew's Cross diagonal meets the corner. On the top left corner, it should hit the upper edge, whereas it hits the left, which is upside down/backwards. It looks like they haven't spaced the diagonals of St Patrick's Cross correctly on the St Andrew's Cross (they shouldn't be central) either, which is usually the easiest way to spot it.

The eggs you order in a restaurant (or buy in a store or from a farm to eat) are unfertilized. :eng101:

Was driving up the NJ turnpike and spotted this - what appeared to be a Ferrari Daytona Spyder being 2 wheel towed with the trailer ramps scraping along the highway. I'm 99% sure it's a replica though, since only 122 Spyders exist on in the world, and there is no possible way it would be towed in the sketchiest method possible. Either that or the guy sold everything he owned for the car.

There is a Republican supermajority in NC since the last election (house/senate/governor all GOP). It's even more retarded than you can imagine. In fact, there's a thread in GBS on this very subject.

Wait......are those ramps dragging on the ground?

I've never used one of those things. Can the ramps be moved up after loading, or do you just tilt the tongue down far enough for them to clear (meaning this idiot probably needs a drop hitch)?

The ramps are designed to retract so as to not do exactly what that clown is doing.

On mine, the whole deck and ramps tilts up when you drive the towed vehicle onto it, then you put a hitch pin through the tongue that holds it that way. It's kinda janky, but I can't argue with the results, towed my pile from Mass to Indiana and back a year and a half ago with only one almost-incident (caused by a very worn trailer tire.)
