Just saw a parked truck with airbrushed skulls on every panel, a skull trailer hitch cover, a skull exhaust, and a plate that says SKULLSS.

Surrounded by nothing but handicapped spots. :negative:

If they were open, I would taken the pic and then parked elsewhere. Its a shame I'm working tomorrow though, I could go up to a local car meet amd park next to the base model lancer with a full evo body kit and stock motor or the geo metro convertible with train horns.

Hey I saw Kompressor badges on a Honda CRX once upon a time. Granted the car itself was a loving weapon and I guess they got bored of being a trashed out sleeper and just put anything on the car to be over the top stupid to bait people into thinking they were nothing but show., it's previous paint job was rattlecan camo complete with a shopping list that was literally "milk, eggs, cheese, etc"

Long ago, I used to work at a vinyl sign shop, and the owners let us print stuff for ourselves once in a while if we had nothing else to do. I made a PLYMOUTH ACCLAIM TYPE R sticker and put it on my '91 Acclaim :c00l:

That loving sticker was still on it years after I sold it to a kind old lady down the street. She'd drive by every day, slow as molasses, on her way to bingo or to get adult diapers or whatever, and every time I'd see the drat thing I'd giggle.

At first I was like "eeeh looks like a little kid went nuts with a sticker book" but then I realized that the stickers stop at the edge of the bumper. An adult deliberately spent time on this, and probably thinks it's awesome.

Verdict: ACCEPTABLE

I actually had a funny idea which I am far too lazy to actually implement. Also, my car is at the dealership for day #8 after they managed to explode the body control module while reprogramming it for a simple recall for the rear hatch release, so I don't actually have it to take a picture of.

This was the "comedy option", a pub I know.

It's such a still, windless summer evening here in the Cotswolds that it was quite likely that I'd find an actual balloon!

Well, if you have one, it's pretty easy to generate the other. At least in one direction. Might as well take both for the sake of insurance

That said, it's meltie's challenge so we'll see what he comes up with

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

I should have read more carefully before driving 20 miles to get this picture. I got a picture of the wind power source, but not what it's powering so we'll call it a non-entry, I guess:



I didn't take one horizontal shot; instead I made sure I got the wind turbine in it. poo poo. Anyway, this wind turbine and solar array powers a couple of out buildings and a farmstead. It produces an excess of power that the landowner sells to an electric cooperative and the generation capacity has paid for the purchase and installation of the turbine and solar panels after just 18 months. Good deal if you've got the capital to sink into them!

e: melty says my post passes muster, so :siren::siren: NEW CHALLENGE! NEWS IS KIND OF lovely AND DEPRESSING RIGHT NOW, SO MY WIFE WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR VEHICLE IN FRONT OF SOMETHING THAT MAKE YOU SMILE. Just a thing that makes you smile, whatever you want. If it's a flock of ducks, cool! If a burned down orphanage makes you smile, that's on you, but it counts!

The windmill is powered by the wind though, the other stuff downstream is powered by the windmill. :)
