If I can meet the challenge I will. The car isn't bad for something you can drive off the lot in the UK for twelve grand.

Olympic Mathlete posted:New Twingos are rear engined are they not? Yes but that does not translate to good driving dynamics per se. It's a good city car, nice turn in, quick steering. It does not handle well at the limit. It handles worse than the Up! and friends. Plus if you want it to have a decent amount of power it's like fourteen grand and then you might as well have bought... not a Twingo.

I have a 2014 Taurus SHO. It's black and has all available options. Yesterday, another Taurus SHO was tailgating me for 10 miles on the interstate. The difference was that his was white and his had flames painted all over it. It also has tinted windows, whereas mine are currently not. That was the most modified Taurus SHO I've seen since they're primarily driven by boring middle-aged dads like myself. I would have taken a pic for this challenge just because, had we exited at the same time.

 Courtesy the first day of actual "decent to drive around with windows down" weather we've seen so far this year (At least aside from the day after Irma...) Post the biggest shitpile (and/ or) concentrated crazy car possible (I wanna say traffic pictures are OK because sometimes the only way to catch the real good ones are in motion).

Well, poo poo. Someone beat me to this one: This short section of road between Arkansas and Missouri is hilarious to me because it's as if a bunch of go-getters on the Missouri side all got the idea to build liquor stores as close to the state line as possible. See, about half of Arkansas's counties are dry seven days a week (and a bunch of municipalities etc. are as well, even in wet counties), so if you want to kick it in your hotel room, you've got some driving to do. There's one liquor store behind Yellow Car there in the photo but not pictured are probably five or six more, all on the same half-mile or so of road. Also I was pulled over for a heinous crime about an hour before taking that photo: I was driving waaaaay too fast. How fast? Seventy-three in a seventy. I know, guys. I'm sorry. I promise I'll drive safer from now on/avoid Arkansas on future trips. (I think we fit a profile or matched the description on an APB or something because this fucker had his gun half drawn as he approached the car)

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:(I think we fit a profile or matched the description on an APB or something because this fucker had his gun half drawn as he approached the car) I think something similar happened to me last year. My subaru was actually inspected (which is a rare occurrence for me to actually get my cars inspected...). The inspection station put the sticker sort of in the blue sunshade part of the window, but I've never had an issue in the past with it. Anyway, I got pulled over probably 10 times in two months in a few surrounding towns. Every time the cop came up to me all stern and used the inspection sticker as an excuse. They were always more interested in who I was than looking at my inspection sticker, then after realizing I wasn't up to no good were like "oh hey, didn't notice your sticker have a nice day". I wonder how many other guys with beards driving a green subaru wagon got pulled over for the same thing... It's Maine after all, it matches the description of every other car on the road.

In my case, I bet these douches see stories like this one and think they'll win the "I found a lot of pot in a seemingly inconspicuous vehicle" lottery. (Why do all these articles include that the clue revealing the major drug cache was that the suspect was "acting nervous?" Who the gently caress isn't nervous when he or she is stopped for no goddamn reason?) Dude was sure as hell he had the winning ticket on his hands--inconspicuous vehicle traveling north from TEXAS (that's where DRUGS come from!) with all-too-ordinary-looking nondescript white people and their dogs in it. Trunk is probably full of THE DRUGS. I'd better ask the driver to step out and stand next to the hood of my patrol car as if he were about to be thrown onto it and violently handcuffed before or after being tazed and/or shot. Okay, now I'm ready to make *consults notes* "probably clause" by asking him a million questions, most of which are irrelevant to the traffic stop I'm conducting and traffic and cars and travel in general, all the while staring into his eyes with furrowed brows and my own eyes narrowed to a slit. I'll surely catch him "acting nervous" when he LIES about where he got his tattoo done (really), doesn't know the exact number of dead and wounded in the Vegas massacre (no, really), changes his answer when I ask him a second time if his passenger is, in fact, his wife (loving really), or changes his answer the fifth time I ask him if he's ever ever ever ever been arrested before, ever (what is this dude's deal?). That's not even all of the questions he asked, either (Why yes, sir--Houston, Austin, and Dallas do make a triangle, don't they?). You know what he didn't ask? "May I look in the trunk"

  NEXT CHALLENGE: IT'S POETRY TIMETake a photo of your vehicle. Then, write a sonnet based on the photo. Car all muddy? You could pen "Lament for the Dollar Store Brand Microfiber Cleaning Cloth I Bought for One Dollar." Trunk full of junk? "Prelude to Digging for a Spare Tire" Go nuts, just make sure it's a sonnet.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:
It's not a perfect Spenserian sonnet (some of the feet are trochees, not iambs, and there's at least one feminine ending), but it's a sonnet:  Oh broken Baja, such hopes for you I had. Thine engine rattles, clanks, gasps, and dies. Now parked long months, for you my heart is sad. A spider's web? Oh, hear my mournful cry! 'Tis true, your cabin's state has led to sighs and urgings of a more cleanly future, but never did thy maintenance elide. See, now, my charge: 'twas not a sinecure. A moment will thee rest and wait for cure: a fresh, hale, hearty heart--unbowed, unbent,| and straining to unleash. Oh you will soar! Beneath thine tires there shall unfold pavement! For now, my steed, take rest and wait a while. Soon, friend, I shall restore thee to thy style.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Most excellent! In that case, it's challenge time: Drinking and driving is bad. Driving to get a drink, however? Perfectly acceptable. And required for this challenge. Go to your favorite local brewery, winery, meadery, cidery, or distillery and take a picture of your car with the corresponding beverage. Grab a growler of the local micro-brew, go Viking with a bottle of mead, sink a day's wages into a really nice Scotch (if you're lucky enough to be near one of the major Scotch distilling areas, I hate you but please post a pic!), whatever trips your hammer and gets you toasty. Macro-breweries are fine but only the actually brewery, not a canning line or distributor. Though not required for the challenge, if they offer a tour, take it and take pics! Please post responsibly.
