It's a pigeon flag.
Pigeon flag?
A signal that they are a rube, and that they will spend all their money on useless things.
Is this another term for pavement princess?
Ohhh. I like this.
This isn't snide internet commentary. This is wisdom.
People that buy crap like this are easily ripped off, and paint targets on themselves for future cons.
So if I wanted to con somebody ... and I saw this guy ...
Oh ya, need a snorkel for the Starbucks drive thru.
Wrong side for that. How the truck gon drink if the snorkel is on the passenger side?
I'm waiting till he puts it in the lake.
Hopefully with no innocent passengers this time.
I've been thinking of printing out labels that say 'plastic masculinity facade' for these cars (they're everywhere in NZ)
Do they have snorkles? Because I think that's a REALLY questionable feature on a pickup truck.
What kind of a question is that?
of course they have fucking snorkels
I am an ignorant NW American. We have our hicks and our dicks. Those are my friends. Snorkleboy is one of them.
I drive an overly large (fuckcars would hate it), older plain white pickup with black trim. It's a mobile home, hauls kayaks, cowboy limo, and gets me places. Plus, it gets stuck on the beach.
Most of us don't have snorkles.
(EDIT ... Um, I realized that my white pickup is in the background of the pic. It ain't special.
At least I didn't post the other pic with the distorted reflection of me that looked evil and odd. Hell, I manged to keep my license plate out of it. Good enough.)
a mobile home, hauls kayaks,
at least it's not a pavement princess. guy down the block has to literally grab a step stool to help his wife into his. It's never been off asphalt. he drives it to his tech job 35 miles away.
Smoochiepie goes everywhere. Real fast. Pretty comfy too. Til the road stops. Then we setup camp or drop the boats right there.
She's a bit heavy to drag out of ditches and such. We like to avoid that.
Thing is, if it's older, it probably doesn't have obnoxious flared wheel arches and whatnot like this 4 wheeled collection of fragile masculinity.
If it's a mobile home and hauls stuff, that's completely granted (although the snorkel in most cases is almost certainly ridiculous performative bullshit), yours sounds like it has a purpose 'beyond ego boundaries'
I mean it's not a car, it's a light pickup truck.
It makes more sense once you see the driver
It's nice to see someone else posting an Ocean Smurf. Thought I dreamed them for a while!
I also dream of shitty derivative 80s cartoons
Hmm. Teensy bit more gut. Goofy grin. Snorkle. ... Good enough.
I always wondered if a can of soda would fit into one of those.
Good God In Heaven!
Now this is the sort of thinking I really like to see on the internet.
Let's continue to explore ideas.
I hope none of those ideas include stealing my lugnuts. Let's keep it reasonable folks.
Snorkels do more for getting the intake above dust and dirty air than improving fording depth. The low hanging electronics in the engine are the biggest concern. I can put a snorkel on my truck, the fording depth does not change.
Just need to get a truck without electronics in the engine bay then!
Maybe crank it by hand to start
If we're building it custom, might as well go with the good ol' shotgun shell ignition
Could be worse. Could have been an incel camino
Now, I know a very nice couple that own a Camino. She's awesome, and he's her gearhead rockstar.
But its a fukin weird lookin car, that's fer sure.
OP was taking about a Cybertruck, the worst of all.
Oh. Ya, srry I'm old. Thx.
This is sublime. I made a dupe comment about being old. Lovely. :)
And Sublime did a song about playing the same song twice.
Oh. Ya, srry I'm old. Thx.
Am old, didn't know either.
Anyone trying to drive a Tacoma in water that deep is "up shit creek without a paddle." Quite literally.
They're really better for dust and such.
The snokle isn't for water. It's for dust.
TIL.
