Do you ever come across vehicles on the road and wonder what the owner was thinking?

One of the benefits of having a camera with me at all times is that from time to time I have been able to photograph some very interesting vehicles.
This poor Ford truck looks like it narrowly escaped some sort of explosion or was used to film a terminator movie or something. It’s really pulling off that post apocalyptic look.
I wonder where the gang is headed?

Joe123Just drove up behind a jeep with 42" super swampers today. No fender flares, full tire outside the vehicle factory fenders. No mudflaps, nothing. Not only did it look stupid, but illegal.

ZSMICHAELYeah I notice and am careful not to make eye contact with some of these folks. Situational awareness or hypervigilance is important.

David LeeStickman, any idea what is the tall thingy sticking up out of the back corner of that old Ford?
April 16, 2021, 10:09 PM
BlackTalonJHPThat tall thingy is a hoist
April 16, 2021, 10:16 PM
stickman428Good eye David. Yeah it looks like some kind of hoist. That truck was one of the roughest looking vehicles I’ve seen on the interstate in a long time.

TMatsMy wife and I were driving on I-80 through Cheyenne a couple of days ago when a small Jeep SUV merged onto the highway next to us. It may have been a Renegade, but it was in that hideous safety green color. My wife said, “Who would ever buy something like that?” Well, as a matter of fact I knew someone. She trained in Tai Chi with me. I remember the day she drove up to class in it-—brand new. I couldn’t bring myself to comment, at all.

David LeeDriver must be hoisting up barrels of waste oil or tires, scrap metals as the box is plum destroyed..
. Looks like it has some kind of a down rigger under its rear for balance when lifting heavy items.

OzarkwoodsThat Ford looks like it was rode hard and put away wet for much of its life.

.38supersigSome of the new cars today are so hideous, I wonder if the driver had lost a bet.

Oz_Shadow#1 looks like someone started using a loader to fill it with something. Probably made quite a bit of money with it and is ahead in the game.

I have another that I can't seem to find. It started as a minivan, then was turned into some sort of convertible doorless dune buggy sort of deal.
