Warner Bros. has announced that the Confederate flag will no longer be present on "future incarnations of the General Lee," whatever that means. Actually, it refers to future movies(lolwhat?) and toy cars. All the movie car club Facebook pages are currently erupting in a shitstorm of southern pride/slavery apologists and impotent fanboy nerd rage. However, this isn't a new issue. The screen-used General Lee that resides in the Warner Bros. transportation museum has appeared like this for at least the last four years.  Of course, builders will keep building classic Generals, there are no plans to go all George Lucas on the old show, and Dukes of Hazzard isn't really a current licensing goldmine, so hopefully the crying subsides soon. edit: Now I know that the "General Grant" is actually a thing.

Safety Dance posted:Really only recently (in the 2000s) has the price of gas in the US risen significantly faster than inflation. In fact, we can draw a strong correlation between Wars on Terror™ and high gas prices. My understanding is that inflated fuel prices are largely driven by speculation, the door for which was opened by Enron back in 2000. Or do I have it wrong? I never got to pay less than $1.18 for gas thanks to the fact that I lived in mountains and fuel was ALWAYS 25 cents more expensive than anywhere else. Ugh.

I've seen these kits for sale in Denver a few times.  I imagine they would be just as precarious on a road, but would be really fun going up a ski run or other groomed trail.

Turbo Herkimer from the Mystery Men sequel I can only watch in my mind.   Typical truck from a typical job site. I'd seen it a few times, but and it took me forever to notice the pipes in front of the rear wheels. Boomerjinks fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Apr 25, 2013 |

loving amateur night up in here... But now we're turning this thread into the other thread. Switching back to terrible:  This truck gets posted every so often with comments relating to imminent suspension failure. What sort of black magic has been keeping this thing afloat for so many years? Maybe he doesn't really drive it anywhere?

InitialDave posted:How? Isn't it the same design used by step-climbing sack trollies etc the world over? Looks like he's referencing this wiki article HOLY poo poo THOSE CANNONS  I guess maybe the patent is for the vehicle itself, not the wheels? I can't really find anything else on it. Those little amphicars are awesome, though!

In April I was clipped by a guy lane-splitting down the highway in a black suv with red stripes. I started saying his plate number over and over until my passenger put it into his cell phone. Pulled over, filed police report, that was that. Less than a week later, another friend sends me a picture he saw posted by one of our local news stations.  Plates matched.

I wonder if they'd have a problem with the "To Punish and Enslave" lettering.

I've seen a few bad cell phone pics of that thing but this is the first really good look. It goes all the way around the terrible dial and become hilariously awesome again. Does anyone know what the lettering says? The giant-scale fabric purse interior of the footwells is a nice touch.

DropShadow posted:St. Louis Park, Minnesota, it's a suburb of Minneapolis. Ahhh. I've never seen any police plates like that and I was super curious. I'm fascinated by all the quirky things cops cars from other places are outfitted with, like how Michigan highway patrol has refused to diverge from the "single rotator beacon on roof" look and the little "stop" gates on their hoods. So cool and weird!  Boomerjinks fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jul 17, 2013 |

I generally opt to slow down until they figure it's worth their time to just pass me. Slamming on the brakes because of a jerk behind you is asking for trouble. No need to hit them a violent "gently caress you" brake check.

Craptacular posted:Looks like it to me. Also, some of the black trim on the bottom of the car has a few gray-ish pixels that look like they didn't get edited out properly. You guys are arguing over pixels when you should be looking at how the decal doesn't change shape over the black plastic trim piece that runs the length of the car.
