Is there an equivalent to NRFD but with dumb turbo/vtec/rotary bullshit instead?

If it ain't a rotor it ain't a motor? I saw some bloke had this as a tattoo in one of the hot4s mags back in the 90s.

I don't know how many people would have the presence of mind to even go for the handbrake in an emergency braking situation anyway. From my limited experience the typical response is a white knuckled super grip on the steering wheel, eyes the size of pie plates and either stomping the middle pedal through the floor or not braking anywhere near hard enough.

It's based on the population of each county at a certain time in the past, which was probably some kind of big dick swinging from Butte/Silverbow County, because they had the biggest population at the time. It doesn't really seem to serve much purpose anymore, except yeah, it's a good way to get your rear end kicked if you drive into a hostile area. There's a reason why I keep an axe handle and a hunting knife in my my center console.

What hosed up third world shithole do you live in. That's fucken munted.

the cross and spots for the 10 commandments on the back could even be repurposed for my wasteland death cult, how convenient!

No protection from the sun, sandstorms, or war boys. Single front wheel would give you at best lovely handling. You'd be roadkill in no time.

I got recommended an episode of hoonigans and could barely get half way through it, they were all just such massive wankers and were impossible to stand. It sucks because it looks like they do some interesting things but I dislike each and every one of those bellends with an absolute passion.

I did a 4x4 course a few years back as part of a stag do (my only 4x4 experience) and it was impressive how easy it was to get an unlocked 4x4 stuck on level wet grass, I can imagine with some load and a slope and the wrong tyres they'd be stuck there forever.

How do you get a 4wd stuck on flat wet grass? I'm not doubting you, just curious having done a fair bit of off road driving and also driving falcadore utes on grass and unpaved tracks and never managing to get stuck myself.

Well considering the back wheel of the trailer is off the ground, putting the boat on it properly would have been a good start.

It's actually supposed to go further forward, with the bow snugged right up in the bow stopper. Looks like old mate's bought too big a trailer hoping she'll grow into it.


Poor VS :(. My housemate had one back in the day, used to pull wicked single peggers if it'd been raining.

Also Toyota CVs are tougher than people give them credit for. I’ve destroyed an entire front axle, I have front and rear lockers, and somehow never broken a birfield.

Might be because you have the locker too? Couple of weekends ago I was out 4wding at Ormeau and saw a bloke do a cv and a steering rack end or somesuch on an open diffed gen 7 hilux. Old mate was a bit wedged and giving it a bootful to try and scrabble up this steep little section, bouncing around loading and unloading the wheels and pop she went. Took an 80 and a gu working together to winch him up.

A friend of mine is a property manager for a bunch of subdivided estates in Melbourne, that were built in the 1960s. He constantly gets complaints from people about their neighbours having their cars sticking out past the end of their individual parking spaces. He's also constantly fielding requests for people to extend their garages and carports. Cars are stupid big these days. It's basically an arms race.

They are, but there's stupid big like an LC200 and then there's seppo big which seems to be another level entirely.

I was thinking of a similar idea of a 4 way pressure pad on a brake pedal, but to be completely batshit insane it's designed to apply different brakeforce bias depending on how you roll your foot on the pedal (left ot right, front to back and all inbetween if tricky)

I had the same idea, many many moons ago. Would be pretty sweet and also ridiculously stupid. I wonder if the garage54 boys take requests?

OK cool so you've just admitted to driving without due care and attention. Probably shouldn't be on the road there, friend.

Aye, but given the alternative would be "yeah I saw them, hit them anyway" it's not a surprise people go with ignorance instead.

The anime ones are just so confusing. I can see some halfwit thinking gas, grass or arse stickers are funny but anyone so messed up as to think covering their vehicle in anime stickers does anything but make them look like a shut-in sex-pest. Look what some clown did to a perfectly good kwaka:
