Bad joke. The use of the racial epithet "coon" doesn't sit well with me (and yes, I think it's intended as a slur in this application, not just an innocent word). The "if you've got the balls, we've got the chain" quote strikes me as a thinly-veiled reference to the dragging murders of several black men in the south. Based on that, I'm surprised someone hasn't torched that thing yet.
Sorry to be "PC" here, but IMHO that sorta' crosses the line. It had the potential to be funny, but the execution of the "joke" and racial undertones ruins it.
Anyone who thinks I'm off-base and misinterpreting it can volunteer to drive that car through Watts or Compton. If you make it to the other side alive then you can take that position. Until then, STFU.

Wow!! You got all that from a silly funny car?
Like the above poster already said, Coon is short for Racoon and if you lived anywhere but Long Beach you would know there is a dead one on the side of every road in America.
I saw chain and Balls and thought Ball and Chain I cannot even begin to understadn how there is ANY way that is racially motivated.
Also - in the 4X4 red neck community there is a little contest they do to see who's truck has the "bigger balls" they hook the frames together with a big tow truck chain and to a tug of war. The one ending up going backwards looses. I am 90% sure this is what they mean.
As far as driving that thing through Compton, they would probably be pointed at and laughed at, if anything bad happened it would not be due to the writing on the side but because there were 2 rednecks inside.
I had a problem driving down MLK Blvd. in Hialeah Miami because I was white and driving a Red 911 and it does not have any racial slurs on it.
