Got Bumper?

Looks like someone lost the junkyard war.

Aaron M. found this jolly trolley coming out of Park City today. 

A crappy bumper looked ok on this crappy van till you take a closer look and see that it doesn't fit AT ALL! Does this pass inspection my friend? At least it matches the paint job...

The Not-So-Smart Car

I have a diabolical dislike for the smart car and anything that resembles one, like the Fiat 500.  It was rounding a corner at a light and I scrambled to take that pic. It was so bizarre-looking that it caught my eye. Do you see it in comparison to that black truck? Its the tan box of crayons by the fire hydrant...

Icky poo. I'm all for preserving the environment and finding new technologies to save gas and oil, but whatever happened to style and horse power?! Why do cool technologies get housed in dinky cars?

Let's be clear, the Fiat 500 is not a smart car or even a hybrid for that matter. It's just a dinky looking euro car. But you're driving that silly thing in America so you'll look stupid if you have one. Especially in Utah. You gotta bring your horse[power] to the West.

Here's the link to the Fiat 500 official stats so you can decide what you think for yourself...

Aw, Dog Poop!

And this is why you don't leave your dog in the car...

All-time favorite! Thanks Jess H!

I just wonder what the reaction was of the owner. Does this happen all the time? Or is this payback! Go little dog go!

Haven't we all wanted to do something this rude and indecent at some point?! No? Ok we'll leave it to the dogs...

"Its My Cox in A Box!"

Can you read that? It says "Coxster"

Aaron M. found this gem in California traffic.

His last name must be Cox, so he is not aware of the sexual connotations this might hold right?

Naw, its just a Coxster in a Boxster!

Look What I Found Under the Swamp [Cooler]!

Oh boy. You know how I feel about additions to cars. I like custom jobs every now and then, but not if your customization was adding a swamp cooler to the top of your vehicle!!!

Did you have to cut out a hole in the top of your car to get this attached? Who did this!? You? Did you roll up to NAPA and ask to borrow a chainsaw?! I mean really, this has to be a custom job, as in DIY in the garage custom.

Im truly more curious than appalled. Really, tell me how that swamp cooler is attached to your hood!

These Stickers are Getting Out of Control!

Do you believe me now!? I told you they were way common in family-centric Utah...


The top pic is a family of skull and crossbones. Underneath each one said the family member's name. Real safe Mom.

Rudy K. Found the Ass Family the other day. They look like nice people!

And Jess H. found the polygamist family when she was at a stop light (as noted in her screen shot :) )


What other variations of family stickers have you seen?

And whatever happened to just a "baby in board" to let people know you had a family? Where did those go?!

That's a Cool Pack of Gum! I Mean, Car.

Gum on Wheels! Gimme some!

Jill D. found this bad boy puttzin' around the other day. She claims the UFO was flying in formation with two others. Each seemed to be bearing a Trident flavor atop the cab. In case ya wanted to know the Trident Vitality flavors are Vigorate, Rejuve, and Awaken, which translates to Orange, Spearmint, Peppermint. Enough about gum. I do wonder if this car smells like mint, if you lick it, or turn the AC on...

Why Have a Family Portrait When You Have Stickers and a Back Window?

Kimmie F. came across this family wagon the other day...

She wanted to know if the multiple female stickers was the number of wives the guy in the red shirt has had or possibly the stickers represented mementos of people he's killed...

I had never seen stickers like this till I moved to Utah, and now I see them everywhere! They're just weird.

My favorite family stickers are the ones that include cats.

What crazy family combinations have you seen?

Might As Well Flinstone It

Flinstone-ing is when the bottom of your car is about to fall out so you will have to walk your feet under it to get it down the road. FYI.

Oh doughnuts...

Im pretty sure I've ranted about doughnuts before. But here it goes again..

These are NOT to DRIVE ON!

They are for getting your car to a repair shop, not just to mosey down State Street! This guy was also going over 45 mph and passed repair and tire shops which leads me to believe that this has become a permanent fixture. Reckless I tell you!

Have you driven on a spare tire for more than a day?

I'm Happy Being Me Too, Minus the Vanity Plate

Vanity plates are the bain of my existance. I dont know why. I mean this one's even cute.

In any case, this one bugged me cause I read it, "Hap to Beem," which makes no sense. This is how personalized licence plates usually are, forced and confusing. Its supposed to be "Happy to Be Me," I think...

I usually dont put visible licence plates on the blog but I think the point of a vanity plate is for people to see 'em right?

FAIL

I love me some Fail Blog!

I check the Fail Blog at random times of the night, note the 5:18 am screen shot, and stumbled across this gem.

Bumper. Fail.

Sadly, I am not suprised by this. Apparently this person didnt take very good care of their first bumper so why would you put a new one on? Just replace it with something replaceable!

My question is, "Does this pass inspection?"
