Reminds me of the time I was driving down the road and saw the grill on the new Silverado HD. I wasn't sure if I should vomit or laugh. I'm pretty sure there is an inside bet between the manufacturers on who can sell the ugliest vehicle.

Had to do a Google image search, since I hadn't seen one yet. Ouch. It's...over-styled, to my eyes. She's got panty lines. They tried a little too hard, or didn't quit soon enough.

The front ends on the full-sized pickups have gotten way out of hand. There's some serious compensation going on for...you know...shortages.

Confession:

Lately I've gotten a kick out of telling people with X brand bro truck covered in giant emblems they have a nice truck, but instead calling it by the wrong brand.

Example: Dodge heavy duty truck lifted with Cummins stickers all over it

Me: "Dude, that's a sweet PowerStroke"

Their look = priceless.

I also only do it to people who are clearly acting like an ahole in traffic.

Hearing your child in that emotional state kills you. And they tried everything to save him.....even experimental treatments.

I know, it's just the way some things go....but it still doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
Thanks. Hopefully things turn around on your end.

That's hilarious. Be careful, though. Eventually one of 'em is going to get really pissed and throw his purse at you.

The guys with the trucks with the big mods do that anyway. It's like a dog pissing on a fire hydrant. I'm cool with it. It means they're leaving.

Glad I had a V8 and the pole position at that light.

Yes

I'm off next Friday, I could come by then. Gives you time to adjust your will/etc

I'm not sure I will make it to then. Dr took me off <insert some med name> because my heart is beating too slow and he said it could just stop

I don't have the imagination to see this. Could you possibly make a video recreating this for a poor old man with a complete lack of imagination?

Thanks so much!!

Dude. The time machine was in "that vehicle which can no longer be mentioned". You're completely SOL.

I know there is no in between with the X6. You either love it, or hate it. For me it was love at first sight. Although the tech and transmission have come a long way, my heart still belongs to the E71 styling.

I honestly didn't know what it's place was until we were in Spain and used one as a support vehicle at a track event. It's fast, roomy, reasonable cargo carrying capability and comfortable. Did I mention fast? Oh yes. FAST.

Edit: And it's a serious money maker for BMW, as well.

The guy must have been pinching himself to see if he was dreaming.

I had something similar but way less sexy happen back in my truck driving days. As I still do, I often offer my fellow motorists "tips" and various forms of feedback on their driving. It's always profane and seldom complimentary, but with the windows up - which they are 99% of the time in Minnesota - nobody hears it so it's just a pressure relief valve for me. Flash back to some time in the '90s. It was the first glorious warm windows-down day of Spring, and I was sitting at a light on a busy commercial street with probably 10 other vehicles. The light turns green and the car in front of me - I know, hard to believe - didn't move for 3 or 4 seconds so I gave "Sleepy" a blast of the air horns and - failing to remember that my windows were down - hollered "Let's go, fuck-face!" at the top of my lungs for good measure. Several other motorists and a few pedestrians took notice of my "coaching" and several laughed. Oops-a-daisy.
