What have you assholes done now?
Let's face it, AI. The photo mines aren't producing like they used to, and we need a steady stream of user's cars to fill the gap.

Therefore, in the spirit of Cycle Asylum (I say that so I can steal their idea completely) we're now doing a Riding Driving Game!

The basic idea here is to take a photo of your car completing the current challenge. Let's say Motronic won last round and wants a picture of your car getting its A/C system recharged. If you're the first to post up your Yugo all done up in A/C gauge tube porn like Motronic asked (seriously what the hell Motronic) then you get to pick the next challenge!

PRIZES!

Whomever completes the most challenges submits the funniest "challenge completion" each month gets a free av of their choosing! Or you can ask me to pick and I'll figure out something funny why not. Tie breakers will be both brutal and awesome. If someone makes a badass "Champion" gang tag we can totally throw that in there too.

RULES!

Come on, you knew that was coming.

1. Current photos only, please. Current meaning YOU DID NOT HAVE THIS PICTURE WHEN YOU FIRST READ THE CHALLENGE. YES YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE, GOONS. If you post up a rad challenge photo and Dale Earnhardt Sr. is giving you a thumbs up, I'm probin ya. Only for like 6 hours though because Dale Earnhardt Sr. apparently thought you were a badass and who the gently caress am I to question that.

2. Try to quote the current challenge in your post.

3. Post up your next challenge IN THE SAME POST. Please bold and siren the poo poo out of it.

4. We'll give a challenge a week to get fulfilled. After that, democracy or fascism or something will decide what your horrible esoteric unpopular challenge gets replaced with.

5. Feel free to chat this thread the gently caress up, but keep it on topic.

6. Despite there being a thread in CA; motorcycles, and poo poo lets go ahead and say anything with an engine THAT YOU OWN, will do.

7. One challenge at a time. Once the challenge has been completed, it's dead in the water!

8. Some folk may need clarification on your challenge since you're a lovely person and were super vague. Clarification always goes by the person that posed the challenge, unless it breaks one of the rules.

9. Attempt to think globally when you decide on a challenge. This is 2017 and you need some drat culture anyway. We have Canadians and Australians and those from the motherland playing. When in doubt toss in an "or your country's equivalent" or something.

10. Holy poo poo do not start the car game in here.

11. No, Shitler, you can't solve your own challenge.

I'm literally a baby or didn't read the above rules and still don't understand what you're on about you loser

Don't end up like Tusen Takk 5 posts down from here!

Lurk and check out this thread or the CA Riding Game thread.

THANKS

:siren: First challenge! :siren:

Post a pic of your car near a power station.

To people that haven't done this in CA, "current" photo means a photo you did not have before the challenge was made. In other words, go out and take the photo to complete the challenge as opposed to just going through some old pictures in your computer or cell phone and finding one that meets the criteria.

e: And your actual car/vehicle, not one that looks like it.

So if HandlingByJebus has completed the current challenge, we now do his challenge, yes, not spend the next week doing power station pics first? I was a little unclear from the CA thread, it was implied they had used both rules at one point or another?

If there is a foul filling a challenge, the original challenge stands so a power station pic still needs to be taken. That person chooses the next challenge.

Were it not 4am I would have been able to complete that challenge without even driving because my town has a hundred tiny crappy bridges and one is next to my apartments parking lot, but it's way too dark to get a picture where you can actually see it's a bridge.

Sure, or whatever Euro/Asian/South American etc equivalent. Napa AutoPros are basically parts stores but also mechanics shops.

One of the two here is a machine shop and industrial supply too.

Still no parts vehicles though gently caress that.

Do we even have a chain parts store/mechanic combo anymore? I would have thought pep boys (never having been in one), but clearly they buy parts from O'Reilly so lol not really

I want to say we used to have an Advance Auto with an attached lube/tire shop, but that closed years ago. Our NAPA has a machine shop in back, but I think that's just a local aberration.
