HAVE NO FEAR, SUPER BUMPER IS HERE!

Remember about a month ago when I said I liked body moldings and more original wheels on American Muscle?


Here's what I'm talking about. See how much better it looks?

Though, honestly, painting your car white means you're indecisive and can't pick a good color. And don't give me this "but white's the 'coolest' color in a sun-filled state like AZ." There's a reason wheel covers, reflective sun shades, tinted windows and air conditioning were invented...

DUDE!

It's been like for EVER since I've posted. MY BAD. There's a total dork reason for why a post hasn't been made, but I'm not going to go into that, because, well, this is about the AZ Auto Review!

I've seen vehicles with this sort of thing on them before. Actually, you see it here often. Often enough that I feel comfortable saying "often" and understand that it's not really "often" but it's not like a "wtf is that" sort of thing.


I WONDER: How often do you think the snorkel REALLY gets used? I realize that it probably sucks in air all the time since it's attached, so it probably "gets used all the time yo," but really? How often do you think this dude and/or chick floods their Discovery so bad the engine needs air from, like, 5 foot up. Seriously? Is there an exploding volcano somewhere?

Ahhh...

Today's post is one of those posts I've been waiting to get to. Saw this monster on the 20th of June, the day before my birthday. And no, it wasn't being delivered to my house.

DO WANT

Look at all the shininess! And the exhaust (or lack there of). You should have heard this thing roar. The engine is so massive compared to the rest of the vehicle, the entire thing shook at it's burly rumble idle. And what's that sticking out the back? Yes, a wheelie bar. I would have rolled down the window and asked him to tear one off for the photo, but he was in the turn lane and I doubt he's into street exhibition...though I certainly would be if I had that...


The funniest part about this is both my wife and I saw it at the exact same time. I've started to get her into looking for crazy vehicles so even she was all "ZOMG DUDE LOOK AT THAT! GET YER CAMERA GET YER CAMERA!!!!"

NOTE: We're stopped 2 car lengths back so I could get the photo...lulz

Recession 2009

self explanatory.

local ice-cream truck for sale.

like down the block from where i live.

i'm a sad menkey.

really?

REALLY?

Today's post rhymes with Wild Molester Van.

That probably suits it too :(


It's the primer red that does it. Oh, and what looks like nail scratches on the door latch. But that's on the outside, and probably white paint or something. That's at least what I'm telling myself.

I've been looking forward to today's vehicle. I saw this while paying a ridiculous amount for some gas at a convenient location.

This was taken back on the 12th of June. We're getting caught up, but there's still a backlog.

I'm not sure what year this is, but it's CLEARLY old. I'm guessing 50's? I saw the whole thing, but it's been like a month so I don't really remember at this point. I would have gotten a better pic but I didn't want to seem like a total crazy guy. And by the time the phone was ready, he was pulling away.


What you DON'T see clearly in this picture are the two stickers in the rear window. Center bottom. One said something like "Sorry, it's a 6 cylinder" and the other "Poor man's Hummer" or something like that.

/sigh

I6 => 350
50's Truck > Hummer (sorry, even the H1s)

I HAVE TO BE HONEST: This one isn't really picking on a vehicle as much as it is a driver. Sorry. These might happen.

I skipped past a couple vacation pictures because, well, they were kinda lame like that last one. One was just down right brutal and the other was my truck. You don't get to see that yet. I haven't posted any pictures of any of the other car's I've owned yet. There was a really nice truck picture taken, but it was with my actual camera and not the phone camera so that one doesn't count.

ANYHOW, back to da SHOW!

This is obviously after vacation. On my way to work. Ah, the blessed morning drive. I usually exit I-17 prematurely and take the lazy route to the building. Peoria is over-rated. Don't bother.

So, I get to my right turn and things come to a stop. Yes, LOTS of people turn here, but it's Summer so it's not like there are kids crossing here (there's a School up the road to the left of this image).

IT'S THIS TRUCK

What the heck is this guy doing? He turned, but cut it too silly close because there were road hogs pointed the other way waiting to turn left from their direction. But he cut to SO close he actually had to stop, back up, a couple times, and squirm around until he made this work.

LOOK AT THAT PICTURE.

It clearly does not relate just HOW CLOSE that trailer was to the 3-light streetlight-thingy underneath the "CACTUS" sign (to the visual left of the McGruff Crime Dog sign).

Holy crud I so thought that post was going down.
