Question Of The Day: The Problems With Mixed Messages…


Question Of The Day: The Problems With Mixed Messages…

There is a difference between a smartassed bumper sticker that is obviously trying to be cute and clever, and making a literal statement with your vehicle. I don’t mind a bumper sticker, but seeing the statements slapped onto vehicles annoys the crap out of me. I don’t care if you and your Prius are saving the environment, it’s your own damn fault that you bought the CUV of the month that’s shaped like The Brave Little Toaster, and we kind of figured out that you hate the EPA when your Duramax puked out the entire carbon footprint of London when you left at the light.

In my eyes, the diesel guys have some of the strangest and most confusing messages out there. Take the trucks: they are big and burly, but some of them were quite pretty, and a lot of them had great big tailpipes that could be seen from yards away. There was the one very unfortunate Dodge I saw that proudly proclaimed what engine it owned, but a tip, my friend: don’t ever try to shorten the phrase “Cummins Powered”. Or, at least, don’t do it with a huge white decal in the back window. And then there was this Dodge. Let’s check out what we have: stacks, Cummins logo that can’t be missed, affiliation stickers, and “She only smokes when she drinks” on the tailgate. Got it. Then you look down and see “her” two great big nuts hanging off of the back. Please, readers, what would you tell this truck owner to let them know that there might be a mix-up here?

    The diesel guys are the new ricers. Best to just ignore them, they don’t know any better.

    Gee, I sure wish that I had as much to prove as the owner of the pictured Dodge.

    I dont know about them coal rollin aholes but I use my cummins to pull stuff so it doesnt need stupid stacks or fake nuts

    Well, since the owner made it clear that their truck is a ‘she’, those must be ovaries…big, green ovaries…hanging off that Reese hitch, right?

    I’ve occasionally had the urge to fight bad taste with bad taste and stick a huge plastic cow udder on my truck.

    But this takes truck nuts to a new low.

    These people that do this crap are the same kids who constantly sought out their parents approval. Mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom look at me look at me look at me look at me mom mom mom mom mom mom mom.

    Me, I hate bumper stickers, I hate Calvin stickers, I hate them all…unless you got an old hot rod or muscle car and have a few well placed “speed stickers” youre a f$%*tard….if you have nuts on your vehicle your a F&^%tard of the highest degree…

    Me and some buddies have chopped 40s – 50s cars and one day we were out cruising. One of these “rollin coal” dickheads noticed his tail pipe was the exact height as our open windows and decided he would dump smoke into our cars on purpose as he passed us.

    Well….we found him at a gas station a few miles down the road and let’s just say he got what he deserved….
