Yesterday going to work.. I come up behind an odd looking car. It is sitting at the stop sign ahead of me and I can't quite get my brain to wrap itself around what I am seeing until I get up behind it.
A Maroon Metallic P71 with the interceptor badges, spot lights on the A pillars, and push bar intact... Rolling on 22s Donk/Bubble style... At least it sounded good when they pulled away. If I had a camera (or the good sense to get my phone out) I would have taken a pic

Is this rare where you live? Neon metallic colored donked Panthers are at every intersection here.
There's a sky blue p71 around the corner from me. I think it's on 22's. I keep wanting to hit it, because it's parked on a 2 way street, parked the wrong way, and the street is so narrow that you have to crawl past to avoid it. What REALLY burns me is that they have a perfectly good yard they can park it in.
Yeah, cause parking your heap on the lawn ups the property values.
Except for the spotlights and push bars, there are dozens of cars like this in my area, too.
When I see a classic, like a nice '60s GM car on 18s or 20s, and jacked up to fit them....I want to "beee-slap" the fool.
We also have a lot of large/expensive Euro and Asian sedans in this area with truely hideous metallic paint jobs....UGH. Example? A lime green late model 7 series on 22s.
The upholstery shop two doors down from up just did a Crown Vic rolling on 24s. They put $10000.00 worth of green and yellow leather in that car. 
The guy was a football fan and the entire car was in team colors. I don't remember the team.
$2000 car + $5000 wheels + $3000 paint + $10000 upholstery = $1500 car.

Packers?
Probably the Lynbrook Owls. No one in there right mind is a Packers fan.
For stuff like this?
I hate that I can never get my camera out in time.

Obviously the guy is not in his right mind anyway just from the description of the car, so more than likely he is a Packers fan.
300 + #'er on a mo-ped...(female) probably would have broken the camera

I wonder if you sent that to the cops if they would send him a ticket in the mail?

redneck ricer?
I do believe here in South Cacalacke he'd be busted for bumper height.
It cracks me up to see some dimwit rollin' 24" lo pro dubs on a jacked up 4x4 pickup. There are a couple around here, I'll try to grab a cell pic sometime.
This one is still one of my favorite quick snaps.

Yes that is a sub woofer wire tied to the back of a moped. 
There is a wagon I see once in a while that I have been trying to shoot a picture of for you guys. Late 70s Malibu on fat stickies all blacked out. The guy always seems to be in a hurry and by the time I hear him he's past me and gone.
no.. donks are not too common around here.. surprisingly considering the lack of taste in Most of Atlantic City/Pleasantville area

Sorry, looked at it with out my glasses. I thought he was passing on the shoulder. Which happens down here more than you would think.

Actually, in the case of this house, yeah, by about $1500.

Guy I work with calls that a lane and doesn't seem to get it when we tell him it is the shoulder and it's illegal.
I always forget that my phone has a camera. While visiting a friend out of town he took me to look at an old Midget someone he knew wanted to sell. It was in better shape than I figured it would be in and wanted pictures of it. Forgot my phone in my pocket has a camera so I missed out on pics.
I wish I had one yesterday. Walking through the parking lot at work I spied a jet black Fiat 124. I mean this thing was gorgeous, deep deep black shiney paint. Everything else on the car, wheels, interior looked like it was just detailed. I ran to the lab and grabbed the camera but it was gone when I came out.
Oh well....
Luckily I did to catch this "baja" "bug"?
Nope. I carry an Olympus Stylus Tough. It's waterproof to 33 feet, freeze proof to -40, and can withstand a drop of around 10 feet. I can vouch that it is truly idiot-proof because I am truly an idiot. I never hesitate to toss it in a pocket or bag, so I almost always have it on me. (I started carrying it after I ran into Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa in a diner and had no camera!) If you are in the market for a new little digital. I recommend getting a tough one, I think that Olympus, Canon and Pentax all make them.
Cell phone cams are getting better and better, so even if I don't have my Olympus or DSLR, I still have a 5mp camera with flash in a pinch for stuff like this:
It looks like the board is not allowing links to Flikr, or Flikr sucks. How about PhotoBucket?
Ahhh, that's better. I guess that concludes my trial of Flikr!

Actually it is a construction lane on the tollway I355 in the Chicago area and he was totally legal; except for doing 75-80mph. Also he had Michigan plates and I believe they are a little more lax on the tire and bumper laws.
I just got a kick out of the giant lift, tires, and diesel stacks charging down the interstate at 80mph on a nice Saturday.
