I’ve used my tow hook for more cowbell than towing.

You know... This makes me want to start laser cutting some acrylic tow hooks, then edge lighting them. As long as they’re pointless, let’s make them even more obnoxious, because they’ll sell.
Whenever I see someone who is proud of the tow hook they installed I always ask if their car breaks down a lot or do they get stuck in ditches all the time. When they try to explain how that is what real race cars have, I explain they only have them because the regulations make them put it in so its quicker to tow…
Dude, at LEAST zip tie it to the ACTUAL “tow hook” under the car that it’s nearly touching....
Look, the rest of the car—I can take it or leave it. Just attach the tow hook to the bumper. That’s all I want back…

Buying a limo is rarely a good idea.

Moving van, RV, and job all in one. Suffice to say, this was not the beginning of…
Very first ad that pulled up. Stay classy AL.
I live in the Ozarks. Spelling is not a priority here. God love ‘em, but folks here just cannot spell. Anything. So craigslist is funnier than hell. People tend to spell things fo-net-ick-lee, so if you wanted to find a limo for sale, you’d probably have to enter something like “lemmo” in the search. Seriously. If…
Dammit Oklahoma....
My favorite part?
The ad’s gone now, but this thing was on the Flint area CL last month:
For sale right here in Buffalo, NY. John Hartman customs ‘74 Chevy Crew Cab Limo. Google it.
Fuel economy no, Emissions standards, yes. They still have to comply with emissions limits for Class 2B trucks.
Except for 3/4 sand 1 ton trucks were not required to undergo fuel economy certification during the time frame mentioned in the article. Given that light truck emissions requirements are far less stringent than cars, this whole thing stinks of some deep pockets working to remove diesels from the roads by force.
