It's not threaded in at all yet. What you see there is tractor heims (aka tractor attachment links with heims - NOT road worthy at all) that he's cutting the links in half (since they're formed steel tube with threads rolled into the inside) and welding the ends of them into the longer tubing. Because he can't/won't cut threads into the tubing himself, or buy properly machined weld bungs made for the purpose. It's basically a very bad idea.

Nearly every single one of Indiana's plates qualify as terrible car stuff. Still no clue why people with no earthly clue about suspensions are so insistent on doing these hack jobs.

Kind of a lovely pic, but hey. Didn't really have time to get a better pic. Looks like it broke a tie-rod or something? I could see the suspension dangling down when I drove past.

The great state of Arkansas (jokes aside it's awesome here for as many reasons as it is terrible) has "Choose Life" license plates, complete with smiling kids. Nothing says "single-issue voter" quite as well.

I'm stuck in the southeast for about a year; I'm mostly up and around Oskaloosa and smaller towns like that. It's startling seeing everything from Priuses to fairly new Jaguars rusting out just like every other car on the road around here. I got a proper smartphone with a real camera, so to celebrate here's a higher-rez picture of the Kingdom Hearts Nissan:

murphle posted:Those look like cheap flat plastic poo poo, which is exactly what they are. Stamped metal plates are the only acceptable plates. They're "stamped" steel in that the edges are slightly grooved, but more like a stamped fender instead of an individually stamped plate. The rest is screen printed. Costs a fuckload less than stamping the letters/numbers. Supposedly ages a lot better too. This is how they look in person. Highly reflective, not quite plastic (but not quite Mercedes chrome):  You can even see mom's stamped plate if you look close enough. That picture is a year old - her plate has no paint (except white) left on it today. Still amazed she never gets stopped for it, you're supposed to swap plates every 7 years here for that very reason (hers are 12). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:37 on May 7, 2014 |

Should just do what I do and stand at the registry, asking them to show me all of their plates so I can pick ones that are funny. I've successfully picked zero that are funny and pissed the same registry clerk off in a town three hours away on two consecutive trips.

MullardEL34 posted:Those plates were designed in large part, by Frances Strickland, the wife of our ex governor, Ted Strickland. Bad taste can go a long way when you're married to the guy that runs everything. They were so universally hated when they came out that I wouldn't be surprised if they played some small part in John Kasich winning in 2010. I think it's a nice design?

I saw a basic plate that was 321-BAM, that's probably my favorite ever. On topic, I keep seeing a car around that looks like it was covered in duct tape and then all the tape peeled off. The paint looks awful, but whenever I see the guy that drives it he always walks around like he's inspecting it for something.  I always forget to snap a picture. Of course it's at a Walmart.

There's a bunch of plates in nova scotia that started with "FAP". So out there someone has "FAP 247" and another person has "FAP 365". I also barely missed out on having "EZE 420"
