Dude’s named after two banks so eff him.

There are a few odd things in this story that makes it sound like there is more to it than we’re hearing.

Are we looking at the same pictures?  This thing screams “generic rental car.”

You are not wrong, we really need some inspections here. If you did though, your liberal thought is definitely true and going to wipe out entire neighborhoods of cars in the lower income areas. Probably half the cars in those neighborhoods are held together with rust. 

It’s hilarious that both sides of the US political spectrum would freak out at UK-style MOT inspections:

I’m always astonished by the inability of the English-speaking world to spell “rogue”, even though Nissan sells some 300,000 of the things per year in the US alone. Given that “rouge” is originally a French word, you’d think the misspelling would be in the opposite direction, but language is always a fascinating unpred…

Twitter users have suggested that it was probably a wheel spacer or lug nut that failed and set the truck’s wheel free.

When do your janky car mods become criminal negligence? Guessing this guy put some ebay spacers on or something dumb which caused this.

Not a single part, but the proliferation of poorly-made “OEM QUALITY” or knock-off auto parts. Amazon is attractive to wrenchers on a budget because you can often get cheaper parts shipped to you in a couple of days.

Let’s say I’m driving an old but still reliable mid-2000s Corolla. There’s a horrible clunking coming…

I had to look up the term. Ender’s game calls it an Ansible.

But clicks!

I was thinking this, and also Stephen King’s short story from a long time ago called “The Jaunt”. Which is well worth a read.

Any sort of sticker about how much you love guns. I saw one recently of the state of Idaho turned sideways, to resemble handgun, firing a bullet

I can’t think of something more “I am an asshole and need people to know I’m an asshole” more than a badge that reflects that.

Any nameless brand turbocharger for pennies on the dollar.

I’m gonna go with these idiotic things plaguing the US highways. So much nostalgia for those good ol’ Roman Empire times...

I would assume that anyone actively turning off their seatbelt warning would also prefer that the object be gun shaped (along with most other accessories in their life). They are also likely to desire a bottle opener in their car. It really is a complete product for that well-regulated militia driving around. 

Anything that adds bling.
