ROAD & TILT
Matt Burtner emails: “I caught a strong whiff of BDS and Smug coming from this Prius on I-95 Monday morning. They must have been at the freak show on Saturday.” Talk about your toxic emissions:
And walterplinge sends this shot of a classic head-tilting Ford Falcon spotted in Melbourne:
Emails walter: “There were too many slogans to remember and a quick snap on the camera phone isn’t really sharp, but here we have all the current head-tilter issues, four of which were: Free David Hicks; Free West Papua; Hands Off East Timor’s Oil; and Free Tibet.” Meanwhile, continuing this site’s proud tradition of promoting tank-engined road cars, PR forwards this image of a tank-engined Bentley:
Ah well- I’m taking delivery of two Nissan Skyline GTRs tomoeeow morning, and they’re inevitably bedecked in Japanese gibberish decals- Nismo For More Evolution, ASICS No! Turbo High Life! and thing such- makes as much sense as the gibberish on rusty EA Falcons, but who gives a fuck when you’ve got around 400BHP at all four wheels.
Hippies are nothing more than mobile traffic isalnds, like fucking buses. I’m going to need some Avgas to prime these buggers.Bloody hell- we had to replace Brembo brake pads at A$800/set- that fucking Falcon wouldn’t be worth that.
Surprisingly the Toyota Prius is on the approved list to import- I offered to get one for my mum, but when I showed her the Top Gear road test she demurred.

That was classic, Americans showing much love to the Prius.
Actually Ma Deuce was showing NO love to that poor little car…...

I figure the driver is too busy floating on their cloud of self importance to bother with tiresome road laws and common courtesy.
Posted by boxofmatches on 2007 03 22 at 11:47 AM • permalinkSure, the neohippies who drive around in their shitboxes plastered with progressive bumperstickers THINK they’re for social justice, but do any of them want to support a united Pangaea or reunite Gondwanaland? Hell, no! They’re just a bunch of self-centered pricks who don’t care about the real issues. It makes me sick.

Posted by Harry Bergeron on 2007 03 22 at 12:11 PM • permalinkTrend on car #2:
“Free David Hicks! Free Tibet! Free West Papua (WTF?)! Free East Timor!
“What’s that you say? It has? Surely not! Really? When? How? Who? THEM!? No! But ... b-b-but…”
Cue much scratching of (tilted) head.
“Wait, I know! Hands Off East Timor’s Oil! Yes, that’ll do…”
Tools.

An oldie, but a goodie.

I blame the piano tuners.
Posted by Old Grouch on 2007 03 22 at 05:58 PM • permalinkHow much oil does E. Timor have? I thought the argument with sea boundaries was about natural gas fields?
Should it read Sequester all E. Timor Gas?
I guess stickers don’t have to make sense -it’s the nice thought that counts.When did you last see a lefty street march with a Free Tibet placard, or any criticising Communist China for its ethnic cleansing there?
I note that Fran Kelly went over the 40L limit in her 40 Hour Water Drought effort because of her excessive showering.
Every morning she has to wash off the dirty political biases of the previous day.

And a St Kilda supporter to boot! Enough said, me thinks.
Posted by deadparrot on 2007 03 22 at 06:49 PM • permalinkWow!! The very second that I saw that picture of the Bentley, I could just HEAR and SMELL the rumbly, throaty roar of that engine. Thanks, Tim!
Posted by bill schumm on 2007 03 22 at 06:53 PM • permalinkI always love to see “Magic Happens” and “Goddess On Board” stickers on cars- they’re invariably a shitbox 120Y or something similar, far worse than the EA Falcon pictured- a vehicle whose sole purpose for existence is to break down in the middle lane of amajor arterial in the middle of peak hour, or a demolition derby.
The magic doesn’t quite swing to converting said shitbox into anything drivable and presentable, let alone a 935 Kremer.
Now here’s a politically correct racecar

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 03 22 at 11:26 PM • permalinkI have several bumperstickers I’d like to have made:
I’m not fat, I’m carbon sequestering.
Save Gas: Avoid Brakes, Accelerate Faster
Stop Global Warning
If you want to see a tank car, check out Jay Leno’s, which is based on a Korean-war era tank engine. He drives it all over L.A.
