There's a grotty Volkswagen t35 I see most mornings that has a literal light rope stapled across the grill, bumper and headlights, it's retarded, teetering on the edge of awesome.

I like the idea of DRLs but in practice lines of cheap LEDs put me off. Manufacturers really need to start putting diffusers on them because the look like poop. Anyway, I laughed when I saw this. There's discussion of Japanese car people not giving a gently caress about their vehicles and we all know there are some people who really don't and I think this dude is one of them hence the badly hacked arches aaaaaaaaaaaaand...  Wait, what?  Oh Japan.

You could probably get around it by adjusting the shutter speed of the camera.

Had a yellow Scion pass me on the highway today. Luckily my passenger had a camera.  Yes, that is a Scion xB that's been cut to be a pickup truck. It looked like someone took a sawzall and a tub of bondo over a three hour span and did the whole job. After the picture he promptly cut off the truck on his left and took off down the highway.

This. This is High Art. A shining beacon highlighting the justification for our self-propelled extinction. edit: could this be a thing where the vehicle has been written off and had the seatbelts cut so no one is tempted to pass it through an inspection? And then, people being people, they got "repaired" and passed anyway? Memento fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Feb 27, 2015 |

I've seen a couple of those running around, here. One was a company vehicle for some kind of engineering service and all their tools etc were stacked vertically in the tray like cutlery in a dishwasher rack.
