Killing The Peace And Quiet At The Bend In The River With A Crosley Fitted With A Pulse Jet Rocket!


Killing The Peace And Quiet At The Bend In The River With A Crosley Fitted With A Pulse Jet Rocket!

I want you to put yourself in the position of a police officer who was required to report to a boat launch on a river to investigate a noise disturbance call. By the time you get there, there is no noise that is louder than the nearby highway, but there is this small pickup truck that you cannot identify painted up to look like a 1960s race car called “Godzilla’s Revenge”, with some kind of contraption in the back that looks like an oversized potato gun. Imagine the stories you’d hear about how yes, this Crosley truck is a race car but “Officer, I swear it wasn’t us!” followed by the biggest string of B.S. ever told at that boat ramp…even bigger than when that Naughton kid swore up and down that he landed that 18-pound rainbow trout. What do you do in that kind of situation? We’d suggest checking out that contraption in the bed of the truck a little closer. Don’t stand too close to it now, and you might want to plug your ears, but we doubt you’ll see anything else quite like it at the river!

When you start writing up the paperwork, make sure you spell “Divebombers Garage” right, ok?

(Thanks to Chris Darland for the tip!)

    Wow – the world’s longest ever fart!

    So when you’ve finished farting around put a Hemi under the hood of that honey of a Crosley and put it on the strip where it belongs – but I love the response to the phantom cop.

    But just their luck if a real cop turns up who lets his human mask slip to reveal his reptilian features and sucks their brains out through their ears…

    And then the reptilian mask falls off to expose David Icke – aaaaaaaarghhh!

    Run away!

        That my friend is a compliment indeed!

        What about it Bangshift – I could write loads of crazy articles like this.

        But they might not necessarily be true…

    It’s a bit of irony that a pulse jet should be attached to a Crosley pickup. During WWII, Crosley built the majority of proximity fuses used to shoot down the German “buzz” bombs. They scored a kill rate that approached 80%. Powel Crosley, because he did not have the highest security clearance, was not allowed in his own factory that produced the weapon.

    Awful sounding thing but does it even make any thrust?

    It looks like it’d melt before moving that light truck up that hill.

    Interesting about the Crosley WW2 stuff.
