Greg Myers Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I remember the first Mustang had trouble with hubcap (wheel cover) spinners.
bismarck Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I would imagine they would need shin guards to even walk around that thing......
blunc Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 if those are "curb feelers", he's doing it wrong.
Renegade Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I remember when this was popular. Starting to see them on the road again. Not a style I'm fond of.
Petetrucker07 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 On the last truck I drove, every and I mean every, nut, bolt head and rivet had spikes on it. It looked really cool, but I wouldn't recommend being the one who cleans it. Take it to the truck wash.
The Creative Explorer Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Over here in Europe, nothing but mirrors are allowed to be bigger than the car's body, thankfully. Imagine this in our traffic..... Edited December 1, 2015 by The Creative Explorer
Petetrucker07 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Here's a few shots of the truck I used to drive. Edited December 1, 2015 by Petetrucker07
Petetrucker07 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I think someone had more dollars than sense this one.
Scale-Master Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I wonder if it is a south Texas thing? I saw multiple cars with those ridiculous spoke-like thingies around Galveston last time I was there.
Earl Marischal Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 And those things are actually legal??????steve
espo Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Just because they can doesn't mean that they should. With the way people drive here in the K.C. Metro area, hard time keeping it between the painted lines, there would be a lot of body damage out there.
mademan Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 they are modern versions of " Elbows" "84s" "Swangas" "super pokes" if you google it its big with the Slab guys, mostly a southern states thing. Some older, 80s cadillacs look really good with em.
426-Hemi Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 WELLL shin guards would be in order just to drive the thing, BUT this also has a way to keep people from coming to close, while moving, OR parked! Pro's & Con's don't ya know! Just can't imaging my shins after a day of city driving AND parking..... My trucks hitch is bad enough! -Least its on the back not the side, BOTH of them!
cobraman Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 So Harry, you don't want a set for your Mustang ?

Pro's & Con's don't ya know! Just can't imaging my shins after a day of city driving AND parking..... My trucks hitch is bad enough! -Least its on the back not the side, BOTH of them! Yep. Have many a scar on my shins from forgetting to take the hitch out of the receiver..... A very painful reminder.
58 Impala Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Maybe he sticks them on when he parks to prevent door dings. I hate when people can't park right and you need a can opener to get in your car.

tbill Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 where do you mount the playing card so it hits the spokes?
Deathgoblin Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 The spikes on the lugs on semis scare me to death. As bad as most of them drive anyway, I'm afraid that I'll be passing one and he'll get a little out of lane and chew the side of my car off.
Greg Myers Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 So being a big rig driver, Claton, tell us, what's the point ?
