To me it is pretty much like if someone said the thing to me. "gently caress you and your mother" is pretty aggressive and confrontational whatever the medium man. Anyway remember this van?



Terrible van stuff.

Where's the driver's seat...it's just...more stuff.

What was that Japanese van where the seats fold flat into a bed and there's a spot specifically designed to hold a box of tissues? Advertised pretty blatantly as a gently caress van?

Isn't that basically the Sandman?

This is where you espouse support for tamping on free speech, though. It is not the outside world's problem, and not inviting confrontation from anybody except those who want to create it. It's flamboyancy (that's a good one to describe it, too) and nothing more, unless he starts asking people what they think of the stickers. Simply expressing a view with the written word is no matter to anybody other than those that write it, unless it's asking a question or calling for action.


I'm not defending tailpipefucker's views, just his rights.

I see where you're coming from.
To be fair, I never said he shouldn't be allowed to have the bumper stickers or whatever, and I didn't mean to imply that - I just think it's tacky and stupid, but I guess he feels the need to announce his feelings.
At least he takes care of his mistress, it looked like.

If I'm understanding these photos correctly, it was too dangerous to have them driving around with all that crap on the roof, so they towed it away with all the crap still on the roof?

However, I counter that he may be steering with that axle now :v:

I looked at this and thought that rod should probably be attached to something. Then I saw the tires, and the line in the road. How the hell do you not notice that or notice and continue loving driving?

Should by attached to the diff. I'm suprised there's not diff oil everywhere from when it ripped off the diff housing. Then again it broke off, so probably not attached very well in the first place, or not engineered properly so it snapped off under compression as it was too long because of the huge ride height they wanted. (real engineers chip in, maybe needed a pivot and extra link or something?)

Normally a panhard road goes as far across as possible, to minimise the effect of the arc it's moving through on axle location. It was probably attached to the spring or damper mounting area on the right.

Given the brake lights and the visible left turn indicator on the mirror I'd say he's stopped with hazards on in the middle lane because he did notice it.
