I'm not surprised this happened in Texas. What surprises me is I haven't seen this in Oklahoma.

You haven't spent much time in Payne County then. Amusingly, I almost got hit by a deer last week by lake Hefner.

Since this says terrible car stuff and not necessarily terrible car pictures, here is a thread.

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/nitrous-oxide/212645-my-2008-fn2-ctr-won-direct-port-setup.html

My favorite excerpts:


I couldn`t be arsed to remove the intake manifold to remove the metal particles, so when everything was finished I got behind the wheel, started the car and revved it to blow the shavings and **** out of the exhaust.
apparently that worked, engine is running fine.

This thread is beautiful, thank you.

Also, that command panel is sweet, I love the electrical tape finish.

Found this at the local pull apart, wish I'd gotten a couple more shots because the panel work at the back of the cab was amazing.


edit: drat fancy thumbnail tags
Also, didn't even notice the timbo badge until now.

Nice effort car here:



Although it did have a full flag on top, it's just not the same in black and white.

Here's one of the local police cars just down the street from me. My buddy's kid was kind enough to pose for photos so that I wouldn't have to look like a troll taking photos in front of the cop's house. She's a cutie, but drat, that's some ridiculous stuff to put on a cop car.





Going to sound like the devil's advocate here, but I'm ok with this. Dare officers here spend a good chunk of their time going to elementary and middle schools, showing kids the cars and doing anti drug, and pro police education. So anything that gets the kids attention is good. Of course it would look like 5th graders designed it.

maybe toss on another bumper or two, just to be safe.

Whoah! That's just crazy talk there, you can only have so many bumpers.

I don't know who in their right mind would buy one of these. They are the ugliest loving thing on the road right now, aside from the Soul, Juke, and Cube. Seriously why do people think these boxy vehicles are attractive?




It's a work truck, who cares what it looks like (yes it's ugly). We bought one because it does what it is supposed to. Hauls a bunch of poo poo, and easy to work out of.
Well, and because Ford has delayed the Transit a half dozen times now (Damnit Ford :argh:) .

That's a wheel of doom at best.

Yea no poo poo.

Love the way he welded that wheel on there, and the way the engine bounces up and down while it's running.

It's still on the road, so right thread.

Probably for the benefit of small vehicles and Class 8 trucks in bumper-to-bumper gridlock. No matter how low or high, one can read it.

Shark on the back, flaming robodolphin on the side. Needs an octopus holding eight guns firing on the hood.

At that point, we would definitely be in the wrong thread.

I need to know if the wheels are still there.

You know they are, along with the engine (although I'm sure all the oil has leaked out to make a hazmat basement). You don't put that kind of half assed effort into it and take the wheels off.

I can't imagine it being on anything else, I mean: A PT Cruiser just doesn't have enough hood for that.

I wish I'd thought of this a few years back. Was a pain in the rear end to get that coat hanger wrapped around there with a Leatherman.
