So some authoritarian decides the solution to their 'problem' is to put in a speed bump; and then you are upset because someone (perhaps sarcastically) slows down for it?

This is the Lounge, so:


1:40 — Checking for oil or gas leaks!

No, the point is that some folks lower the hell out of their rides, fit oversized rims and get stuck in EVERY single speed bump or larger pot hole that a normal car could overcome rather easily. Others crawl the speed bumps sideways in order to not get stuck, but while they're maneuvering the traffic jams form. I think it's disrespectful to do so in a public roadway, annoying and wasting the time of everyone else just because that bunch of ricers want to show off.

Yeah, I never got the "slammed" Things, either. Their whole point was to be a more off-road capable vehicle!

Those wheel skirts in freebeard's picture look pretty fetching, though. Stealing that when I restore mine.

The post was intended to show a variety of options. Two out of four were lowered, one was stock. Maybe the long-travel A-arms threw everyone off?

Are you going to have strap-on 20-liter gas cans?

I've even seen a couple with air suspensions, so you can have it both ways!

The gas cans sure look cool, don't they? I bought one of those Brazilian extra-big tanks a while back, but it would crowd out the spare.

That's not an authoritarian, that's an anarchist.

What do you mean by Brazilian extra-big tanks? Aren't them the same as the old Jerry cans?
