I assume the confederate flag front plate came standard issue with these.

No, no, no, no and no... never. Go find an R/T off of an aging boomer and then kit it to look the part. 

+1. Flogging big yank tanks is crazy fun. My teenage years were chock full of New Hampshire dirt road pseudo-rally stages in a 1974 Chevelle 4 door. When weight transfer is glacially slow you can play the steering wheel like a violin in a slow sad song while bombing through nature at stupid velocities. It’s wonderful.

Which does beg the question, if this person does own the patent, is the patent even valid anymore?  That would put it somewhere well outside the 20 year window and if it never went to production for, uhhh, “personal reasons” then I highly doubt any other effort was made to retain patent rights.  “But it’s never too…

That fork (and those brakes!) look incredibly heavy, and weight is the enemy on a bike. I think he had an interesting idea that just couldn’t be developed into a commercially viable product. 

This meme got shared like wildfire after the school board sent us teachers back into the classrooms this year. There have been deaths. 

“You can have it good, fast, or cheap. Pick two.”

My bike’s back brakes won’t stop squealing no matter how much I toe them in. I will try cleaning the rim and trying again, but god help me if I have to true this wheel one more time. Rebuilding my VW’s drum brakes took me less time than adjusting these cantis.

Not only is it mounted backwards (you always want the fin up front, in case your straps slip, the board has a moderate chance of being saved by the fin grabbing the strap), it appears to be an inflatable SUP, which, you know, means you take it off and shove it in the trunk.

That looks like a paddle board, it’s way too wide and thick to be a surfboard.

I’m going to be that “technically correct guy”.

I don’t even surf and even I know that boards on backwards

Take water fording for example. Which of these is rated for deeper water fording?

I agree... Same for trucks. How many people actually use their trucks to do truck things? I own a horse, work with horses, Mtb, live outside basically... and I avoided buying one as long as I could. My “truck” was a 2016 Nissan Versa note for the longest time. I finally broke down this year sold my Veloster N (at the…

The Jalopnik short story contest. Pick a car-write a 500 word story about why. 

Either this attorney thinks everyone is an idiot who will believe this hogwash about “criminal intent” or he’s the only attorney not to have understood a single thing in first year law.

He's identifying the client's class in the hierarchy.

Rolling coal when a person is in the vicinity and when the individual rolling coal intentionally or knowingly causes that excess exhaust to contact that bystander is AT A MINIMUM an assault. They are causing their vehicle to “spit” on a living, breathing, human being that is worthy of dignity and not having his or her…

Moose Fuselage was the name of my acapella folk music band in college.  

If you want to see something similar in the region that has been successful you can check out the Big South Fork scenic railway. I am originally from East TN and the Big South Fork area get far fewer visitors than the Smokies. Some rather stunning sandstone formations. The train itself also goes through the former…
