I have never laughed so hard after scrolling through a post.

OMG...that's just about it! I told you all I was not making this up!

That's not a tail.. That's a bench used during tailgating.

we saw a tail like that on a "new beetle" last summer. It was painted in "Shamu" livery and belonged to one of the "Sea World" locations. Pretty neat advertising.

I can see by the parking sticker in the rear window that this person HAS (or had) to be an engineering student attending Louisiana Tech...Probably a semester project. Probably got a bad grade because he did not use polyurethane to seal it.;)

You think? I don't know, never spent much time around rice, but I drive a PU (light rear end unloaded) Stand on the brakes and see where the butt end wants to go. GM thought enough of the problem to put anti locks on the rear only on my '89.

I think a "useless" spoiler", or wing, might be handy on a ricer. Just got an old whale tail for the Ragamuffin today from UPS (thanks Justin) because I'm tired of being spooked by the back end while in T-8 at Willow.

The "whale" tail on the pony is funny. It'd be funnier on a 911 or 951. I can't see the attack angle, but it could work. The stuff on the new F1 cars isn't much different at first glance.

I Wonder
 
Do you think the paint has "fish eyes".

I know it's weak but I couldn't help myself.

Some people are misguided

The Mustang died after 1970.

Looks like it belongs on a Reinell or SeaRay. Has to be an accessory designed for watercraft.
Is it possible they have a 100lb. anchor on the nose for a chin spoiler?

Shocker 02-24-2006 07:03 PM

Nickaynyt, you need to get off the crack. The Mustang is alive and well and doin' just fine! I agree the early Mustangs are great, but I love my '94. It is a great car!

Mike
