LMAO!  I used to go to a branch college of Penn State.  There was this big dick on campus that everyone loved.  One weekend word got around that he got a new car.  And mainly that he had it "Tricked Out."

So he shows up to class the next day in a Shiny Purple Ford Ranger that sounded like a standard ricer.  He had the truck lowered to about an inch off the ground.  He had awesome looking rims.  He had a light kit at the bottom of his car.  On and on the list went...


However, the previous week the administration had put in speed bumps to keep people from speeding around in the parking lots.

So I see him coming in and down the drive.  It suddenly occurs to me what is about to happen.  But he doesn't slow down.  He doesn't stop, he doesn't turn around.

He keeps going at about 25 to this speed bump.  I'm setting up a special part of my brain to forever remember the sound that will come from this.

Suddenly he slams on his brakes.  He stops about a foot short of the bump.  He does a 3 point turn and parks in the Administration lot.

I was so amazed that I got a tear to my eye.  Just a single tear.

I said to myself, "Wow, Penn State.  Even our Communications majors can add 2+2."






EDIT: Also, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

It's a neat looking car.  Needs a pop-up spoiler though 'cause it's shaped like an airfoil and probably generates enough lift at high speed to lift off the ground.

The worst single-car wreck I've ever seen was a guy who was going for 200 mph in a 1995 camaro...  GM specifically told the guy that above 150 he was on his own aerodynamically, and sure enough it lifted the rear wheels at about 160.  He put a huge spoiler on the back and put a few hundred pounds of sand in the trunk, and that seemed to work.  But at about 175-180 mph, the entire car lept about 30 ft off the ground and landed upside down at 160+.

I'd rather have a dropped chopped '53 Buick... for those with no taste!

Green/White....white covered wheels, cloth interior with the ropes on the back of the seats...

If you ain't been there, no need to reply.

I like 50's customs and I like art decco..   It appears that the car is an aussie one with wrong hand drive correct?

still nice tho.... frenched lights and grill, shaved hood and door/trunk handles..  chopped top..you could build that car from a 50 pontiac.

It could, and probly does have air bag suspension..  It can be low and still pump up when it needs to.

The mirrors are wrong.

I would love the car with vette suspension... A 502 inch big block or stroked and blown ls6 and a 6 speed.... but that's just me.
