Pretty much everything that is wrong with hellaflush. Wrong-threaders go gently caress yourselves.

You'd have to go bigger -- look at that loving thing. I can't even think of a spherical object that would stuff it.

I'm strangely OK with this freak of a truck. My #1 gripe about trucks is, I usually can't see past them at all. The suspension is set up in such a way that I can actually see through it.

I'm also OK with the exhaust pointing directly down into my driver's side window, should I pass him on his right. Not a chance in hell there's any back pressure, so I wouldn't be the least bit worried.

Gonna go ahead and throw the "wrong thread" card at this point.

Several years ago I saw a deer running along the side of the road. I stopped, fully expecting it to run out in front of me.

Once I was stopped.. *BAM* :wtc: The drat thing ran head first into my left fender while I was stopped. Fell down, got back up.. *BAM BAM*... fell down again, got back up again, hit it again, rinse repeat a couple of times before it finally ran off.

I laughed my rear end off until I got home and couldn't open my door. Caved the fender in around the door hinges :saddowns:

This makes me think of those videos floating around of down-on-their-luck pedestrians trying to commit insurance fraud by jumping in front of slowly moving cars, and just rolling off of the hood.

All he really needs is a tall, neon green "M" tearing rear end out of the hood, then his defense can be "I WON this car! I didn't pick the colors!"

And if that is a carbon fiber hood as it appears to be, I really don't know what the gently caress. That thing's gotta be pushing over 2 tons. Why bother?

For those reading at home who haven't been keepin it real with GM's model lineup, just a reminder that this isn't some crazy aftermarket thing, it was an actual factory special edition truck.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado#Intimidator_SS

Is anyone keeping a tally of the number of actual factory stock cars from each manufacturer that show up in this thread?

Reminds me of this. My girlfriend and I saw one in passing a few weeks ago, and we both had the same question -- why would you advertise a car movie on your own personal car? (Of course, it had a "FAST5" vanity plate to go with all the badging.) Told a friend about it, and he provided the link.

Edit: Oh wow, this is the exact car we saw. Seems to be one of four made for a sweepstakes. A little tacky or not, good for them for winning one!

Okay, I've seen this in the hellaflush thread too. What is this about, why are the kids doing it?

While the "Sunoco fender" is quite likely just an unpainted replacement fender, the hellaflush kids typically do this to perfect condition body parts. The most common I've seen (I admittedly used to spend some time on an unnamed import forum) is front lips & bumpers, and it's always stickers from the hellaflush trifecta: Illest, Canibeat, and... gently caress I don't know, who cares.

I screwed up as a younger driver and didn't yield (in the left turn lane) to a Ford Explorer in my 1990 Civic hatchback. Got T-boned, but at least I didn't get a shattered windshield like the rest of you suckers! Replacing a windshield is so expensive, too.

judging by the fact that the other cars in the front spaces managed to park the back half of the car hanging over the line, I'm guessing probably a long-box pickup or something was parked in the space in front of the Bentley initially. Or he's just bad at parking like the rest of them.

God, I hope so. I refuse to believe that even the dumbest Bentley owner opts to park half of their car in the lane in an attempt to avoid a potential ~3 MPH frontal bump from fellow retarded parkers.

You know what they say, though; if it floats this guy's boat, etc. The engine bay looks like it's probably not TOO terrible, barring the giant SCION on the underside of the hood. The fact that it's a Scion isn't what makes people give a poo poo about this car, buddy.

The student missed N and went all the way to P. But hey, it stopped the car!

I did this once as a teenager in my mom's car. A bumble bee flew into the open window directly into my face at about 35 MPH. My immediate panicking response was to pull over, but to first put the car in park. It was the coolest sound I've ever heard a car make. It was also a Honda so it was aight

Still takes the top off a delivery truck (or a flatbed full of 2x4s, that one shut down the whole block for the rest of the day) every other month or so. It's coming right off a traffic light and the limit is 20mph because on the other side of the tracks is the old downtown, so there should be plenty of time to stop.

I'm pretty sure there's a 10-minute video compilation floating around of trucks & buses castrating themselves on this exact overpass.
