Altezza tails and fart can exhust

Was in the McDonald's parking lot. Belonged to a girl that worked there (no suprise)

There's a girl that (used to now, I think) works at a Hardee's around here with a Mirage with APC stickers all over it, ginormous aluminum wing, and one of those Ventshade sunroof wind deflector things turned around backwards and stuck on the hood as a hood scoop. I need to get a pic next time I see it.

Please, don't do it. I couldn't handle seeing that!

What a shame.


I need to get pics of my cousins car & throw 'em up. [he did this for S&G's] It is a '76 Plymouth Duster. Baby blue with brownish red primer flames. He made a hood scoop for it out of an old VCR. Then .... he cut up a hood from an 80's model Charger and made a 7" wing out of it (using the hinges from the hood to hold it up). Regular black wheels .... no hub caps. And of course ... it has all the stickers and emblems that the ricer gets at the parts store (APC, NOS, GT-R, etc.) It is a sight to see .....

Justin OT: whats a Monster Truck? I heard tonight thats what my cuz is driving over in Iraq now. Told my dad I would ask you see if you knew what the hell it was

 

[SeventyMach1]

He is more than likely referring to a HET (heavy equipment transportation system). It's a 25 ton truck that is used to transport the big boys (i.e. M-1 Abrams which can weigh in at 88 tons). If you see one coming down the road .... you will know it. It has a square-ish looking nose and it is HUGE. I think they're made by Osh-Kosh. $500K might get you one.

Hell yeah ... that a robot that the EOD (bomb squads) use. We have one (a little different than that one) that we travel and play with occasionally. It is a million dollar robot that weighs 750 lbs. It does all kinds of crazy stuff. Next time we break it out, I'll get a video clip. The sweetest part about it is that they're saving Soldier's lives over there.
