Lumping dumb poo poo on cars, dumb cars on craigslist, dumb people on cars, and horrible failures together is a bad idea in my opinion.

Want to carry some cargo, but all you have is a Geo Metro? You're tall and need more headroom, and all you've got is a Geo Metro? There's a solution! In case you can't tell because of the grainy film, that's a plywood cargo platform with eye bolts in the sides and the antenna mounted on it, built into the roof of a Geo Metro.

I took this photo of either the most or least self-aware Volkswagen in the Safeway parking lot. Click for a better look at the stickers, the "ubercool" license plate, and the lovely "fog lights" that look like track lighting fixtures.

Pham Nuwen posted:Speaking of manuals vs automatics, I was at a local car show last weekend and goddamn if there weren't a ton of automatics there. Is this just an old man thing, that these guys prefer to have an automatic? My Studebaker has an automatic but I want to swap the transmission as soon as I can. Manuals are just a hell of a lot more fun. I've actually been a bit surprised at how many old automatic cars you see around, even back to the 50s. 50s and 60s consumers loved their gimmicky automatics.

My Volvo came with "Forceum D800" tires. They say "Made in Indonesia" on the side. As much as I like chirping the tires with moderate acceleration from a stop, I think I'll get new ones when the rain starts.

I wasn't able to get decent photos, but I saw the awful VW again. It's acquired badly-painted red wheels, a lovely matte black paint job on the trunk lid, and it's lost the O'Reilly fog lights. The front license plate is now mounted on what appear to be brass hinges from a hardware store. I counted six shocker stickers of two different kinds.     Of course, it's parked right in the middle of two parking spaces.

I saw the archetypal wursted-out VW again today. It's evolving. I am almost entirely sure it's not self-aware enough to be ironic. The front license plate is no longer mounted to the left side of the bumper with brass hinges; it has been replaced there by a shittily bolted on tow hook with a front drift charm. He has replaced his sun visor with it. I assume that he no longer has the option of raising his sun visor.  Better view of "visor". He has at least two O'Reilly stickers on the car...  ...and at least three FrostWire stickers, including the one stuck on the dashboard next to the Despicable Me thing. Who the gently caress puts stickers for a Bittorrent client on their loving car?  I haven't counted the shocker stickers. The last time I saw this car, there were six.  Two of those "F" trochoid stickers, whatever they are. He's rattlecanned the roof black.  Four Frostwire stickers.  Wheel in the back seat, and "tartan" rear deck cover. I'm not sure if the cloth there matches the pattern and colors on the seats or not. Edit: also, what appears to be a third bucket seat? I don't know if this car naturally has a fold-down seat-and-a-half on the right there.  Five Frostwire stickers total, now, along with an additional two shocker stickers, the rear drift charm, and some overspray and weird paint damage on the bumper. Either it's black plastidip or he bought a shiny VW emblem to replace the one he painted black.  Smoked marker lights and red wheel, complete with overspray on the tire.  Rear drift charm. And, finally, to top it all off...  a mis-sized, damaged carbon fiber applique over the fuel filler door. Check out the parts where he had to cut smaller pieces to make it fit. atomicthumbs fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Oct 9, 2013 |

Apparently 30 truckers showed up to that thing in Washington D. C. They proceeded to block the freeway by lining up and going 15 mph, at which point they were pulled over and told not to block the freeway. They complied.

Galler posted:On the way home today I saw a Prius with those eyelashes on it and I was all excited to post about how dumb it looked but it doesn't hold a loving candle to that poor thing. I nearly got smashed by someone in a Prius with eyelashes and an oversized bumper sticker that said "ACK NAUGHTY", who decided to try and pass me in the left lane (on a 25mph surface street) while I was changing lanes, and then honk madly. The driver looked to be in his mid-20s, male, and with a shaved head. I think he was angry that he had to drive his girlfriend's car

The Worst (wurst) Volkswagen somehow got worse. This has got to be ironic. It has to be. There is just no goddamn way someone thought this was in any way, shape, or form good.     Yes, that is the wheel that was in their back seat last time.
