Ozz81 posted:countless times seeing idiots with front wheel drive cars, with a donut tire on one of the fronts. Around here, a lot of people just throw on the donut spare if they have a flat, and then get the flat tire fixed "whenever". Once, I was passed on the motorway by a lovely little Polo with two donut spares on the right side, and I was doing 140kph at the time.

Spotted on a delivery yesterday. I could probably fit my head inside the exhaust tip, maybe even a basketball. Added bonus: sticker (partly obscured by the bed mounted fuel tank + nozzle! ) that said "Keep calm and roll coal"

To be fair, the tails are blacked out. Just to make sure some poor bastard impales their Civic on that trailer hitch if the owner brakes suddenly. It wasn't so much the soot that cracked me up. Not even the sticker or exhaust tip (those just got a big eyeroll from me). It was more the "I have a truck that's obviously never seen much more work than a light duty trailer, yet I have an auxiliary fuel tank with an electric pump that takes up 1/4 of my bed". There wasn't a scratch anywhere in the paint. I just looked a bit closer at the pic, it looks like the feed line from that in-bed tank/pump actually goes between the cab and bed? Which would imply that the line might actually go to the stock tank?  e: I would give a small fortune to be working at the dealer when this thing gets towed in for a new engine... and a slightly bigger fortune to be there when the service advisor tells the owner "uh, no, no way in loving hell are we going to warranty this". randomidiot fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Apr 18, 2014 |

Those tires are bald too right? Looks like it to me. May not even make it to a new engine, just the next major rainstorm.

I wound up behind a rock carrier a few days ago that.... had something wrong. It was belching insane amounts of smoke, to the point that I could barely see the car in front of me (which was several cars behind the truck). Gonna guess the turbo took a poo poo or something, the smoke was something that would make every bro truck owner jealous.

some texas redneck posted:<snip> This is the one part that actually does not bother me, my Dad owned a 2007 Ram 3500 diesel, and he had an auxiliary tank in the bed. His tank was professionally installed, and the pickup would run off of the stock tank. Every once in a while, the rear tank would pump fuel into the stock tank, and the plumbing was thought out with a return line to prevent over filling. It was nice because you would not have to worry about the fuel level in the rear tank, as soon as the stock tank started going down you knew you the rear tank was empty. On the other hand, the gauge they installed for the rear tank was laughably inaccurate and would wildly swing from F to E regardless of the actual amount of fuel in the rear tank. That is where the similarity between my Dad's pickup and that one ends, my Dad tows a 40ft goose neck car hauler and the rest of the pickup is stock, he does not do retarded poo poo like rolling coal. . . But in an act of shame, my Dad did put Bro Stars on his pickup. His reason for doing so was because they were a solid wheel, the stock Dodge wheels were unattractive black steelies with plastic chrome hub caps which had a habit of disappearing if the truck was parked near a shady part of town.

The Eagle 058 is an equally solid wheel that is available in fitments for basically any pickup that's not a 7-lug Ford (including duallies) and looks good on any truck that isn't plastered with caffeinated soda pop logos.

Thanks for the tip! I won't deny what my Dad did was shameful, hell even he didn't really like the look of the wheels, but it was what he could find that fit and they were not as ugly as the stock wheels.

I actually put 058s on my own father's Ranger to keep him from making a similarly awful wheel-related decision- his last truck was an '07 4x4 Taco which he put some Chinese chrome deep-dish atrocities on, and wrapped them in stock rubber. And then he stuck a '90s C/K-style sunvisor on it and ordered every piece of plastic chrome in the BroTruck Depot's catalog. I swear he would do a full-car chrome wrap on his DD Saturn Ion if he knew they existed. A thing I forgot to mention, Eagles are also the cheapest non-lovely aluminum wheels you can get.

Truck Wheel Chat: I'll probably be getting a set of Eagle 058's soon. I'd go for something else but it seems impossible to find something that looks good and isn't covered in rivets / simulated beadlock.

Hey man you can't pass up these kinds of opportunities  In terrible car news, I was passed by a Honda CRV this morning that was doing at least 90. I crest a hill just before my exit and see the CRV on the right side of the road. About 500yds down on the LEFT side of the road is a wheel. No pictures, of course, being that it was hard enough to drive and laugh at the same time at 70mph, much less take a picture. Beach Bum fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Apr 19, 2014 |

That was almost me once but it was the fuckin tire shops fault. I turned onto an on ramp and the turn felt VERY wrong so I pulled over. Two lug nuts left on the drivers side wheel and they were half backed out. Had a little walk so I wouldn't murder any tire shop techs and then headed back.

The right rear on my truck is the original full size spare, which spent 20 years, including six Ohio winters, hung under the bed. It's rusted to poo poo, the rubber is dry rotted, and it's missing a lug. Some dick stole the actual wheel, though, so I don't have any other choice.

I told him it was dumb and that tied rankings don't work like that (especially considering that the winter Olympics had a tied for first event a few weeks prior), he suggested that I didn't get the joke. I asked him if this was the joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AOgN-4QnZ4 He immediately deleted the thread and unfriended me. Same dude got really pissed at me when I told him that the Ouya was dumb and that Burger Fi was overpriced garbage (BUT IT'S BY A FORMER MILITARY DUDE!!!).
