Bruce is correct. That is Phoenix, AZ.

I think you don't pull it over for the same nonreason that you don't pull over a guy pulling a trailer with... A couple motorcycles on it, or a trailer full of yard waste. Because none of them is really an actual bomb the size of a truck. There's just no way. Why bother.

But if you're a cop you can pull him over just to ask WTF. I had a cop in NY State pull me over to ask if I built my truck myself.

When you're Ty Cobb you can slide any way you want. :eyebrow:

How do they do that? looks more like 1932 to me.

Cat's eyes removed? WTF?

Cat's eyes removed? WTF?
 

The reflective studs, commonly known as 'Cat's Eyes', in the centre line of the road have been removed to enable re-surfacing to take place.

Attachment 56685

These passive devices are being replaced by solar powered LED models.
The edges of some roads are marked by green (nearside) or red (offside) cat's eyes.

I've driven quite a bit in the US but mostly by day, so I don't recall seeing them there.
Are they part of the road fixtures and fittings?
In my defence, it's twelve years since I was there and the memory does tend to fade.

Link.

The inventor of Cats Eyes was from near where I live. The factory where they're made is still there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_eye_(road)

It varies here, usually depending on how much fog the area gets. Originally some areas used Bott's Dots, I have one of the originals. Then the reflectors evolved and some even combine both but I've never seen them. Locally they've been cutting the pavement to create a narrow rumble strip along the centerline.

Very rarely do you see these on our roads (I should say, rarely do I see them) When I have they've been yellow reflectors.

Ahh, just read he wiki article. We get a lot of snow here, so the plows would tear them up.

Yeah, I've seen different ones in different places. I don't remember the details of what was where.

Around here they're set in shallow grooves so they're flush with the road surface

There is a road in western Virginia, I forget which now, that is very prone to blinding fog. I was caught on it one foggy evening, totally blind, no place to pull over and stop. I was afraid of going over the edge of the road and down the steep hill when suddenly, lights similar to runway marking lights came on alongside the road, enabling me to see where I was going enough to get out of the fog belt and back to safety.

Bless whomever put those there and whomever turned them on for me!

....I think I was on that road. It was basically a two lane twisty road through the mountains. It was just a fog wall, basically. Luckily, I was there during the day. I just followed a big rig. :)

Yeah, stick your hands in there, just don't make any sudden stops. :eek:

Can you even imagine the national alert if this happened today? :shock:

Ah, yes, the 1992 Buick Skylark. The acme of safety, security, and martial preparedness...

Attachment 56751

Yeah, about two months after people start dying.

That stuff - and much more - is all readily available today anyway.

What would you call these besides four wheeled, rubber tired, engine stands? :confused:

Just as pointless as golfing, but maybe less expensive and probably more fun.

I not sure they're not as expensive, each is a fortune. Bubblegum cards you can't fit in your wallet. :lol:

Weird, funny. I wonder if this is a play on the currant bathroom ruckus.

Well, the Grey Poupon-colored '57 I'd call Photoshopped...:neutral:

Maybe, but compare the build details to the red one above it and then are very similar.

Are your eggs too short?

note: Narration is in German, but you don't really need to know what it's saying.

WTF is right.

But I guess Pringles are sort of the same idea.

Not to mention hot dogs.

I swear at the beginning when the man is served the long egg, the narration says 'vut the fuck' in coordination with the look on the guy's face. :lol:

Anyway, I should get a job in food production because I would probably never want to eat ever again.

"vüt the fück?"

Long egg...Ya learn something new everyday.

That was pretty cool HappyMonkey.

:p:

He says it didn't hurt until a shot time before they took it out. :eyebrow:

Wow - that's gotta account for some of the blood on the left side of the car...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-from-his-arm/

It got overlooked because he was so fucked up. They start with the most serious shit and go down the list, so it got hidden by a cast.
But I'm amazed it didn't bother him all these years. :crazy:
I guess the lever in a '63 T-bird was chrome, and not chromium.

How could anyone think girls would wear this to work? :rolleyes:

Japan must be more crowded than I thought.

"Collection."

Obviously they mean his rock music collection. Or his collection of hit Disney musicals. Surely.

They need some sort of sanitizing spray nozzle like some of the automatically cleaned public toilets they have in some cities. Because, ew.

Porn videos, Anime, North Korean propaganda...

Builder's pick-up truck :eyebrow: :rolleyes:
Attachment 56951

I've seen worse!

Often, when the vehicle is being driven with the windows down, the accumulated detritus tends to end up on the side of the road.

Actually, I think that's been contrived. No self-respecting builder would be without a copy of The Sun* wedged between the windscreen and dashboard top.


* A mass circulation tabloid noted for having a somewhat sensationalist approach to its stories and a flexible interpretation of the word 'truth'.

The Sun

That's a pick-up?:eyebrow:

Makes me remember the first time I turned on the defroster on my bucket truck...Tiny wood chips went everywhere.

You might call it a flatbed, not sure what the difference is.

I just thought the nose was a little slanty for a pick-up.

****************************************

In other WTFness:

The Farmer's Insurance guy, Vern Schillinger from "Oz", Chief Pope from "The Closer", the really mean dude in "Whiplash", wherever you know him from, he's J.K. Simmons, and I bet you never thought he was packing the guns of Navarone under his shirt:

Attachment 56953

Dude is 61 years old.:bolt:

Damn bro...

I'm impressed

Lots of the world has pickups with van type noses.

Vern Schillinger. Are you fucking kidding me? I googled him but in all of the pictures he's clean shaven, or close to it, and no where near the wrinkles around eyes. It startled me, not because of the arms but the face. Let me put it this way, I could slap my picture on his passport or drivers license, and nobody would bat an eye, not the cops, not customs, not even NSA. :eek:

It's a Ford Transit drop side truck much favoured by the building profession.

Attachment 56964

I believe that the above is a slightly later version of that shown in the first pic.

^I Want One^

Much more practical and useful than our pickups. People would be less apt to choose them as car substitutes for suburban living. Not stylish enough, too utilitarian. I wonder how that would look a 42 inch Cepeks? :haha:

$15,000 worth of 'donks ought to 'hood it right up.

Really? Hmm, $15 a dozen by the gross... you could make a hell of a bullet proof vest.

No atheists in foxholes.

One of the things I've enjoyed about cars/trucks/bikes is the individual personalizations of them. But I often say WTF? :haha:

This is definitely a WTF...

Probably broke the other three trying to remove air wrench-installed lug nuts. I hate that shit. I just took GrandCherokeeOne back to WallyWorld (they put my tires on) and made them remove and replace my lug nuts after I rounded a lugnut trying to get the damn things off to install brake shoes. Had to drill the damn stud out. Fucking fuckers.:bitching:

He told me this morning the hubcap and studs were gone when he discovered it.

I promised Sears I'd tell this story on stage everyday until the lawsuit is settled...

I was in Georgia on tour when I noticed that the tires on my van were wearing weird, so I took it to Sears Automotive, a trusted name in automotive care... It took them 3 and a half hours to change 4 tires... They had to whittle one out of a piece of wheat... I pay 'em $900 of my hard earned cash, I took the first right hand turn out of the parking lot and the left rear tire falls off, it falls off, IT FALLS THE FUCK OFF... Turning my van into a tripod, spinning me into a dimension of pissed-off I have never been in before in my life! Later through research i discovered that this guy was a tire guy, he didn't somedays work on transmissions...he was a tire guy. Apparently Sears sent him to tire... College ... For 3 days, apparently he was sick on LUGNUT DAY, but they still let him work on my van! So I'm suing them and I'm hoping by this time next year they will have to rename the Sears Tower in Chicago to Ron White's Big Ole God Damn Building and you guys can all come party!

I'd forgotten about that story. I love Ron White. He could read the phone book and make me weep with laughter.
