I think it's a relatively recent thing. I bought my Jeep in 2011ish from my Dad, who bought it new in 1999. I've only heard of the duck think in the last couple of years and I've never had one left on my Jeep. Also I don't have a bunch of tacky poo poo bolted to my Jeep and it seems those are the types participating in it.

Sure bragging rights and showing the dyno sheet but what a complete waste. Not that this idiot needs defending, but to be fair that's not what he said. quote:In a normal car, I could have pulled emergency brake, I even got a quote at Good Guy’s Del Mar for an electronic e-brake & bigger brakes. Hindsight’s 20-20, I was just gonna trailer it to a few shows & not drive it much till I could do that.

Here's a bit of personal terrible car stuff. Years ago, I owned a Ford Sierra. 2 liters of naturally aspirated asthma, 16-inch wheels worth as much as the car and pissing calvin on both sides, all thanks to the PO. One night I woke up to some noise outside, got up and saw a bunch of teens smacking a scooter outside. I shouted at them, and then saw that there was a bench on my cars roof.  Click here for the full 4288x3216 image This was one of the things that made me anxious commuting with a beater (~1500€). This photo was taken with a old pocket camera, that takes stupid huge, bad quality photos. Br3instyrm fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Jul 11, 2022 |

If you have a bumper/window sticker of the group, you may end up with a free beer/rum on your windscreen when you get back to your car. With the amount of lovely bro-trucks/Yank Tank bullshit starting to creep into our traffic which absolutely cannot fit properly in the parking spaces where I am, I'm thinking of revisiting my 'small penis' 3D prints to leave on their windshields "welcome to the little dick compensator club"

track day bro! posted:needing to own a car to participate in society is terrible car stuff Oddly enough, I was just thinking this same thing while driving to work with my 60,000 closest friends, all in their own little personal emissions capsule. Which I had to do, because there aren’t even busses I can use, much less a light rail or something, unless I happen to end to go somewhere on one narrow corridor between downtown Dallas and Fort Worth. LloydDobler posted:I can't get over how he thought riding the brake wasn't a massive red flag to begin with. I mean, you can't do that in any car, has nothing to do with the horsepower. Brakes are designed to be used intermittently, not as an anti-throttle. If you listen to the sound, he put the transmission in to park, I think. I hear what sounds like the dying noises of a parking pawl. He *still* had no brakes, though, since they boiled the brake fluid riding the brakes. I don’t know where the OP got the info about leaking brake fluid. They said nothing about that. As far as I can tell, he just flat out cooked the brakes. Anyone who races or who has followed racing know that’s a thing. There was nothing inherently wrong with the brakes - they were just barely adequate. The problem was the driver riding the brakes constantly trying to keep speed down from the sticking throttle and/or too tight a converter. Also, the aforementioned unfamiliarity with the ratchet shifter. I don’t believe for a second that there is literally no way to downshift. If so, that was a monumentally stupid choice. I hope that falls off a cliff. I like modifying cars without much restriction, but every time I see that kind of useless garbage I think maybe the Europeans with tighter inspection rules might have the right idea.

Right now I'd have to live in a very high crime area, or be able to afford a $1M house to be able to commute to work, in a couple years that won't be true anymore thanks to Washington's light rail expansion that won't be true in a few years, and I'm excited to be able to bike-train-bike to work.

I'm thinking it being a Lambo and with their standard school of design being to make it shouty, loud, and in your face, this is just amplifying that spirit so while it's typical mansory garish modifications, it kinda fits. While all of Mansory's other stuff started off with a design that had a modicum of restraint and so the modifications didn't jive with the spirit of the cars so you end up with tacky garbage for people with way more money than style. That's my theory at least.

I figured that was an available interior color for the Urus. About everyone they crank out is a bold color.

That Urus interior owns but Mansory can't seem to design exteriors that aren't fuckawful they all look like cheap stick on parts. That said, Lamborghini didn't exactly create a banger in the Urus either so......... Musk stuff is for this thread, obviously but at this burn.https://twitter.com/mannyfidel/status/1546992447770824705?s=20&t=stncdDHi3DmuI1NBc_IVuA
