View Full Version : Are there things you see on cars that just make you think WTF?
Ireneparalegal 06-03-2007, 09:12 PM I can't tell you how many times I see a vehicle that has those stickers that resemble bullet holes. Who the hell wants to have their car look like it has been shot????? That is assinine!:crazy:
Also, I seen a car today (not the first) that was in pretty bad shape, HOWEVER, it had these beautiful rims. Now, who would spend over $1000 to put nice rims on a car that needs a paint job, a new window and could use a good washing? It just amazes me that someone would think of making their tires look good rather than spending that money on the rest of the vehicle. :lol:

Yes, I saw a car and have seen cars at times like that. For example, a few weeks ago, I saw this early 1970s Chevy, I think it was a Celebrity. Anyway, this car had the biggest tires and the flashiest rims on it like you wouldn't believe. I actually knew the guy who was driving it. He was a drug dealer who I grew up with.

I bet that guy with the nice rims lives in a box cause he has no $$$ anymore for a nice house!

(no, really, you're a conservative? I didn't know that! Heh.)
I can totally smell the car by just LOOKING at it. It basically smells like ass. :lol: And it has to be AT LEAST a 1970 model. You mean these things are STILL on the road?? :eek: :lol:

Dutabi84 06-03-2007, 11:59 PM I remember driving by some idiot in a minivan with spinner rims. Seriously, spinning rims on a minivan.

OMG, I hate these. :lol: Makes no sense, either.
Jen, you reminded me of this Mini-Cooper car I just saw the other week. It was VEEEEEEEEEERY obvious that the owner of that Cooper is a HUGE fan of the Austin Powers movie trilogy, because it had a British flag painted on the roof, the words "YEAH, BABY!" painted on the hatchback door and license plates that read MY MOJO. :lol: Actually, I thought that was a pretty cool car.
Pitooey 06-04-2007, 12:32 AM :lol: Hi Irene........... :wave:
I saw this sticker on a car the other day.
"Don't look so hard your cat is under my wheels" . (??) :confused:
-*Forever*- 06-04-2007, 12:44 AM I saw a car once with pictures of wolves on the back windows. WOLVES. It was so weird.
Max Whittaker 06-04-2007, 01:46 AM Now, who would spend over $1000 to put nice rims on a car that needs a paint job, a new window and could use a good washing?
A poor Gangsta wannabe. Unfortunately, there are many of those.
Parked downtown, a nice, shiny, brand new car... With tiny windshield wipers on the headlights. WTF?
Ireneparalegal 06-04-2007, 09:30 PM I thought you were going to mention those testicles hanging off hitches. :lol:
WHAT is up with that sh*t? Some man who doesn't have any b*lls, so he has to go buy some and hang them off his truck obviously. Those are disgusting. :rolleyes: :crazy:
Allison, that pic you posted and the comment, "It smells like ass" just had me :brent...how many times I have made that comment abt an old car that I have seen!!!!!! :rofl: Too many times I tell ya. :crazy:
I have seen so many cars with those fake ass spinners. They are trying to look like they got those real ones, but they are so fake. Especially when they have one spinner that isn't even spinning, it is stuck! :rofl: Or when they are missing one spinner, that is even funnier. :rofl:
I really hate those cars that have the stickers on the back window that shows the world how many damn kids you have in your family including their names. Why don't you just tell the nearest predator where your kids live so they can "call your kids by their name" since you are announcing it to the whole world. Why would any family be so dumb as to tell the world how many kids you have and their names? Do you want someone to kidnap them? :rolleyes:
Dr. Jazz 06-04-2007, 09:46 PM I was driving behind a woman last week who had a sticker that read "If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair!" lol pretty tacky.

No kidding. I don't see too many of THESE cars 'round here, thank god.
One time, I went into the next town over (the nearest town is 5 miles away, the only thing that divides that town from mine is the Missouri River) and we were at a four-way stop-sign intersection. This car had the right of way and was westbound. We were next, and we were northbound. It drove in front of us, and I gasped when I saw what kind of shape it was in.
Irene, have you ever seen the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles, starring Steve Martin and John Candy? There is a part in it where Candy's character gets a rental car, and the two men are TRYING to drive back to Chicago. Candy smokes a cig in the car, thinks he has finished it all off and tosses the cig butt into the backseat. Wrong -- it's still going. But nothing happens until a little later. After they nearly get killed because they were driving in the wrong direction, the car FINALLY catches on fire and it's unsuitable to be driven on the road, BUT it still runs so the two men drive that car until a police officer pulls them over. It is then that the police officer makes that comment about their car being unfit to drive.
That's basically what I thought when I saw that car that day, only it was fully intact, but the ENTIRE car's body was rusted. I wouldn't be surprised if everything else in the hood and the inside was rusted, too. Even the metal on the wheels were rusted. I thought to myself, "how the hell is that car STILL running??" and from that point on, we refer to that car as the Rustbucket. Even a rusted bucket woulda been more suitable for driving than THAT car was. :faint: :lol: damn thing should have been taken away to the junkyard ages ago.
freshprinceofLA 06-04-2007, 10:43 PM well I've seen this DAD whos license plate reads IV2WENTY which means 4/20 the pot smoking day he picked it out himself. He has a son for crying out loud!!!
cmcb06 06-04-2007, 10:46 PM The main thing that annoys me is when people load their cars up with bumper stickers. I saw a car recently and the bumper and top of trunk lid were soo covered with bumper stickers you could barely see the paint. I mean it's like WTF do you think your doing. Also those guys who drive the old 80's Lincolns and have those spinner hubcaps I mean literally why would you want to pimp an old Lincoln. Restore it to it's original looks. Those were hot. Pimping a classic is just WRONG.

Max Whittaker 06-04-2007, 11:00 PM Pimping any car is just wrong.
I realize it's your property, and you have every right to do with it as you wish; but as far as I'm concerned, it just shows how tacky you are...
*ClassicPinUp* 06-04-2007, 11:41 PM I saw a hummer the other day with these tiny little tires..it was so low every time there was any type of bump in the road the back of the hummer hit the ground. Can't understand why someone would buy a nice big Hummer and than do that to it.
Janice 06-04-2007, 11:42 PM When I was in my teens, this crazy religious guy had a station wagon with religious sayings painted all over it. On the top of the car, he had a cross and a bunch of other stuff. :crazy:

I've seen a school bus driving around here like that. The Jesusmobile. lol
Sterling Holobyte 06-05-2007, 11:13 AM There used to be one of these type of carshttp://www.merc583.addr.com/mopar/p15jpeg/goto_photos/mhay47Plymouth.jpg that used to drive around town, except that it was grey, had a smaller rear window, and had these :) :) :) :) :) painted all over it.
I thought it was kind of interesting, actually. But it did make me think wtf.;)

Thank you. You hit it on the head. We are constantly told don't put your child's name on their clothes because a predator or someone who wants to harm your child can easily call out their name and the child will think that person knows them! To put your child's name on your vehicle is ludicrous to me!
I also see lots of cars that have people's last name in GIGANTIC LETTERS on their back window...WHY????? I keep my private things private, why would I want some whacko to know what my last name is? :crazy:

Fleet 06-06-2007, 12:37 AM I prefer to keep the exterior and interior of my cars original. Like, for instance, the interior of my limo seen here.
I don't customize my cars, but with some of them I do engine/transmission modifications.

TripperFan 06-06-2007, 12:03 PM I can't believe that I still see cars with those stupid "Baby on Board" signs.
Like I WAS planning on rear-ending you until I saw that you had a kid in the car. WTF?
The best was when those things were so hot and someone came out with one that said, "Mother-in-Law In Trunk".
We got a good laugh a few years ago. It was the first winter we moved to the country. My husband had a Corvette and had to take a detour one night because of a bad accident. The detour was on the side of a mountain and it was just a dirt road. Well he almost went over the cliff with the car so he decided to garage it and buy a cheapy for the winter. He came home with this massive 1983 Caddy. It actually ran great and the front bench seat was like sitting on your living room couch. The outside didn't look so great though - some rust and the finish was pretty bad. We called it the Uncle Buck Mobile (from the car John Candy drove in that movie too - almost as bad as the one in Planes, Trains and Automobiles).
Anyway, it was always getting broken into and they had knocked out one of the back opera windows in it. Frank just put up some tacky cardboard with duct tape. (yeesh). He ended up getting pulled over one night. The cop suspected he had stolen it because of the broken window. Frank just starts laughing and said, "At my age, if I'm going to steal a car, do you REALLY think it would be this piece of sh*t?"
Even the cop had to laugh and agreed and let him go. :lol:

It just amazes me that someone would think of making their tires look good rather than spending that money on the rest of the vehicle. :lol:

Why don't you just stick another sign on the back like this:

When we went to Darien Lake in NY state I was shocked at how many pickups were in the parking lot with the Confederate flag in the back window. Of course they also had the mandatory web lawn chairs and beer coolers setup on the back bed with their country music a'blarin'! :lol:

Kind of. Screencapping can be a little tricky to get set up - because not all DVD player programs have screencapping abilities.
But if you have CyberLink PowerDVD (excellent DVD player prog, BTW), you can screencap from there... There's a button to do so on the DVD player controls on that prog. :)

Okay, I recently downloaded that file and it didn't work. Sure, it has a screencap button, and it let me use it, but I can't find the screencaps themselves. When I looked for instructions in the help desk, it told me this;
Click on Configuration , select the Player tab, click Advanced..., and then select the Snapshot tab.
The problem is, when I clicked "Advanced" there was no snapshot tab. Besides that, one of the DVD's I wanted to take screencaps from was playing all jerky on that program.
I really need to be able to work this, because I need to make some screencaps of cars & trucks from movies & TV shows.
Jrnygrl 06-17-2007, 08:27 PM I was on the freeway and saw a man with a sign in his rear window that said, "I drive the speed limit, live with it." :lol: :crazy: :lol: :crazy:

Blah! CyberLink PowerDVD doesn't let me do that! I tried it on two computers, and all it did was make a duplicate of the movie I was watching, which I couldn't edit. When I unpaused the movie, the paint image moved right along with it!
There's has to be something better.

You need to download VLC Media Player. It's easier to use.
