Basically these first two results for "redneck underbite", AKA Sockington-Smile  So basically it's a bonus modifier to any challenge. By Thursday, May 4th, however many challenges get completed while adding what I mentioned (in some way, be creative) gets an additional $10 donated to charity, by me. Think of the children!

NEXT CHALLENGE: FIND US THE CLEANEST OR DIRTIEST ENGINE YOU CAN AND TAKE A PHOTO WITH THE HOOD UP. IF THE ENGINE IS NOT IN YOUR VEHICLE, YOUR VEHICLE HAD BETTER BE IN THE PICTURE AS WELL

Swung by the shop to check progress, happened to check this thread while I was there. Will be picking it up on the 15th to begin the mad rush to the finish.  NEXT CHALLENGE: Do a google image search (preferably in a private window) of "your car stereotype" or "stereotypical your car", pick one of the first row images then recreate that image.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to do this last night so I'm late to the party, but since I already took the photo I may as well post it. May the Fourth be with you!  Fun fact: The very first shot of the original Star Wars begins with a Corvette being chased by the imperials.

So I thought that was amusing.

Along those lines I really wish challenges were weekly. I don't bother 80% of the time because I know it will get filled before I can get back from a trip out to take a picture.

Could do something like once the first person satisfies a challenge you have 8 hours to post a submission (with challenge), then the challenge issuer gets to determine who wins.

This might be cheating but here is the inside of the BMW 3.46 diff that is getting a LSD: I wasn't planning to crack this open quite this soon, so my shop will smell like 14 year old diff fluid for the rest of the summer. If this is acceptable then: NEXT CHALLENGE: A picture that shows smoke coming out of some part of your car. Tires, ECU, intake... If it is from the exhaust it should obscure the background. Also, not smoke from you, from some part of the car.

keykey posted:To be fair, I still wouldn't mind seeing that. I asked her about it. Apparently, she's allowed to take photos on company property, but they must be for business purposes only. From a security/corporate espionage standpoint, I definitely see where they're coming from. But don't fret! The state is doing tons of work expanding highways just a few miles up the road, so this weekend, I'll see if we can find one of those giant steamrollers or enormous excavators that isn't in use that we can park the smart in front of for a staredown.

In the meantime...ZincBoy posted:This might be cheating but here is the inside of the BMW 3.46 diff that is getting a LSD: My Aveo5 smells funny and is a bit smoky. I'd better check it out. Looks like the culprit is a substance on this shiny silver thing? I might be leaking headlight fluid.  Huh? The hell is this? Could it be the source of the mystery fluid?  Well hot drat! Haven't had a good chickencheese in a long while. Best be careful cooking for me, lest my new bride get jealous!  Wind blew the (very small amount of) smoke away right as I snapped the first pic but I figure some leniency is in order as it's been more than a week since you posted this challenge. NEXT CHALLENGE: Find the most pretentious dickweed's vehicle possible and park your vehicle next to it. Is there a Tesla out in the North 40 with a vanity plate reading "TESLA," parked across four spaces? Winner! A Mustang GT with obnoxious vanity plates that you can just tell gets washed and waxed every single day? Winner! Stupid-looking Del Sol with racing stripes, ground effects, and that weird paint that changes colors? Winner! PLEASE DO NOT HARM ANYONE'S VEHICLE DURING THIS CHALLENGE JUST PARK AND TAKE A PHOTO OK

beep-beep car is go posted:What about weekend warrior Harley? If the operator thinks he or she is hot poo poo and that the bike is the best thing ever, you're good. Really, we're looking for someone who thinks his or her ride is the poo poo. For instance, if I were trying to score this one, I'd run to Lowes--I live in south Texas, where there are approximately 4.6 billion obnoxious "rollin' coal" brotrucks with more money in custom chrome/paint/lift kits/etc. than the value of the stock model.
