I need a pic of a high-dollar hardtop convertible (E93, SLK, etc.) with one of those fake sunroofs stuck on the top.

Hey, thanks for the props! I'm not seeking attention for myself, but for the sad, sad world of automotive crap available down at the parts store...

Gawker sites don't care about the facts, as yesterday's D-21 drone story illustrated once again (Real person: Francis Gary Powers. Giz story: Gary Power)

I hate to break it to you, but there are legacy systems out there running mission-critical software that for one reason or another can't be updated. I worked in a medical research laboratory up until 5 years ago, and our equipment was a hodge-podge of DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows NT 3.5 / 4, and Windows 95 (NOT 95b). …

No wood trim or rear-wheel-well covers? That car's owner is an AMATEUR!

You can buy paper by the ream at Office Depot that passes the "fake bill pen" test. Learned that from Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., himself at a talk he was giving. If it's real, it'll have embedded security threads, two-sided watermarks, etc.

Well, that's one way to solve the "confront your accuser" problem with speed cameras...

Thanks, Jalopnik. I think this is my favorite thread, ever.

Back in the mid-90s there was a white (body-kitted) Supra in Austin that had white wiper arms, with two white double-bladed wipers on each arm. Each double-bladed wiper had white wiper wings on each end, for a total of, um, that's 8 sets of 5, FORTY little wingy things on the wipers. The car also had all kinds of…

Those are beautiful. They need to be attached to a carbon fiber double-blade wiper for full effect, though...

The car, or the decal?

In theory, it's supposed to give your wiper blade more downforce so it does a better job at cleaning the windshield. In actuality, it just looks ugly. Although, those are nice 'cuz they're wood grain...

I always thought those drones were amazing looking - like a baby SR-71.

These. Extra "trashy" points if they have the crazy spoilers on them that look like feathers - the five-flappy things. I can't find a picture of them, so maybe the trend has ended...

Meh. I want a Cheetah.

It's a significant problem for private insurers too...

Scoop, from Soylent Green. Just pick up the rioters and turn them into food.

OK, I'm at work and can't post YouTube vids, but this one immediately came to mind. And I know the QOTD wasn't about racing, but...

Yep yep - I guess it was number 11 on the list.

One more low-light stop - good. More pixels - meh. I'm sure the uneducated masses will flock to upgrade, since, "Holy cow mama, there's more pixels!," but I'd rather have the 14.2 MP that the D3100 had, in a larger sensor.
