Seen in Coventry: The RS green really helps bring out the non-functional vents and rear drum brakes.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume this guy probably isn't too happy with Obama  : I don't really get political bumper stickers because I don't see why you'd want to give other drivers another reason to road-rage and/or identify you but I guess if you're going to go then go all-out.

The only sticker on my car is an inside-the-window NRA sticker on the rear glass, which has factory tint so you can only see it if you're standing right up against the back of the car. I just kind of like the way it looks barely there through the tint. (Though I am an NRA member, it's not just a silly sticker choice or anything)

Yeah, I don't keep any gun-related stickers on my truck. Too much of a red flag that says 'please break into this vehicle'.

A dude refused to sign off on my E46 BMW last time I got smoged because he couldn't see the cats when looking under the car. "I see that aftermarket piping with no cats what are ya doin bud?!" "Uh sir, the cats are part of the headers. They are stuffed up into the engine bay where you cant see them from just looking under the car at ground level with a maglight" *blank stare*

Well, proper hilljack etiquette is for the front plate to be on your dash, visible through the windshield. Though the being on fire thing begs for storytime.

It was covered in deer viscera, and I didn't have anything with the leverage to get those bolts off on me at the time. Slavvy posted:Did you get a ticket or a moving conflagration? It was my 1984 Buick Estate Wagon back in high school. Carb problems, it was running super rich and I was trying to limp it home because I was broke as poo poo and didn't want to pay for the tow. About halfway there, something coughed and the air filter caught fire. There was a cop right behind me, so he hit his lights as I was pulling over, and loaned me his fire extinguisher. Unfortunately, the fire department showed up right after I had it out, but the engine was still smoking a bit due to it being mid-winter in Iowa, so they filled that fucker with cold water from the top down. I heard it crack, and it was done at that point. Cop was very sympathetic, and let me keep it on the side of the road until the next day when the scrapper came for it.

Chinatown posted:"Uh sir, the cats are part of the headers.

The body was a bit rough, but mechanically it was 100% as it left the factory (aside from some gaskets, the clutch, and a wheel bearing). Altimas, since at least 98, have had the cat integrated into the manifold. Guy claimed I had no cat. Guy also tried to fail it over broken backup lights (reverse lights are not an inspected item in Texas; I do agree they're important, but they did work [just flickered a bit], and the inspection criteria specifically states "reverse lights are not to be checked").

Some of the poo poo I see on the road here is absolutely hilarious. There's a guy in town witha mid-70s Corolla that you can basically see through from one side to the other due to rust, and all four wheels/tires are mismatched. It gets a little worse every year but still runs.

So many farm trucks in terminal stage cancer from all the drat salt, with maybe functioning lights and an exhaust system that can charitably be considered better than a paper towel roll attached to the headers....

A major structural part of a car that they stopped producing 22 years ago costs £13 more than a set of 4 espresso cups. Wait....a dealer HAD ONE IN STOCK? They sent pretty much all of that back to Germany from US dealerships and warehouses, so we have to either pay huge shipping fees or wait a month or two (whenever the warehouse does it's next order).

That's the maximum roof/exhaust height, as in "our loving bridges are 14 feet tall please don't hit them" not the rocker/bumper/frame height.

14 feet is ~4.3m, so not that far off the 12m long, 2.55m wide and 4m tall maximum size of an ordinary passenger car in Denmark. And the maximum size of a motorcycle? 12m long, 2.55m wide and 4m tall
