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

Looks like the automotive version of the women of Walmart.
And yes to be fair, they could make a version about the men too.
And the ones that are gender ID challenged.

I used to see a brush painted sedan on the highway. It was lime green and yellow with a #23 painted on the door. It had a spoiler made out of a 2X6. It was as ugly as it sounds.

If I can find it, I have a picture of a minivan completely covered in camouflage, aside from the windows & lights you would need to stay legal. Even the hubcaps.

Redneck El Camino?

An alternative to removing the tailgate for better air flow:

I worked for years in a crappy part of town,

run down area, where repairs to parking lots were done in haste, and cheaply,

we added a fuel center to the store I ran and paved only the area around the center ,,
the rest of the lot was left as is,

dude pulls in with a hoopty like that, and had a flat,, used the air to fill, and went about 5 car lengths off the new asphalt and knocked a bead loose,

rolled back over and refilled to set the bead and left in another direction

I was out at the pumps and complimented him (sincerely) on the car, (it was a well done hoopty) and asked if he had those troubles often,
he commented 'only in the shitty parking lots or roads'

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.

ones like this I have seen in this area usually have temp tags in the back window, or farm use tags on it ,

and those don't bother me,

it's the damn SUV princess' like the one that almost hit me yesterday that bother me

Just 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.

Hopefully this is sarcasm on a freedom loving gun forum!

Many years ago or so the story goes an immediate superior at work had a 58 something. I don't remember what is was. He wanted to replace the rear shocks. This model he decided it would be easier to access the rear shocks from the inside. So, he took out the back seat and went to work. Of course he encountered difficulty. The more pissed he got the farther the backswing of the hammer became before he busted out a window. As the story goes he broke out the remaining back windows. Got out the cutting torch and cut the top off. Self made convertible.

Yeah that pickup more than likely works at the auto scrap yard hauling engines and rear ends. No doubt cost them nothing as it probably came in totaled, mostly looking like that, and has only gotten worse swinging old engines in and out of it.

I haven't personally seen one, but apparently in parts of North Carolina (the parts I've never been to), "Carolina Squat" trucks are a "thing." Bing Images - "Carolina Squat" trucks

We actually have a thread dedicated to the squat.
