Talking Classic Ricer Pic and story!!!!


My Friends, I give you...THE DUMBEST RICER ON EARTH!

This picture is real - not doctored in anyway - and was taken last by a
Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials
for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went
and bought a camera to take pictures.

Notice the Ricer style rims and tires, the wing was probably crushed by the load.



The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust. A woman is
either asleep or otherwise out in the front seat passenger side. The guy
driving it was jogging up and down on Rt. 925. (in the background)

Witnesses said their physical state was OTHER than normal. The driver
finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched
behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the
load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they
had the customer sign a waiver. While the plywood and 2X4s are fairly obvious,
what you can’t see is the back seat, which contains -- are you ready for this? --
10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs.


Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the back shocks were driven through
the floorboard. The car, with FL plates (naturally), was headed for Annapolis, where
the couple presumably planned to build a new house in which to smoke their crack.

Apparently this was another case were an import driver believed that his car was something it is not...

Come on man. That pic has been around for at least 8 months, and it changes every time I see it. The last one had tinted windows. And look at this one, the door molding doesn't even up, as though the front end was cut and pasted.
Still a funny pic though.

I saw that same pic w/ a similar explanation on a import site. Same pic as in not modified. Has it been around? Yes. Story untrue? I doubt it.

Hey 95mustanggt, do you want my old ADS chip? It worked great when my engine was stock, and it says in the instructions that you have to remove the cats to use this particular chip, which you have already done. I had to ditch it when I did the motor work and Im never going to use it again. If you want it let me know. If it works well and you like it send me a $20. If not just throw it away and don't worry about the $. Oh I just ordered longtubes w the shortie H pipe with cats and a flowmaster cat-back, so if you know anyone that wants my old off road H pipe let me know.

This is my cpu at work and I dont like sending or recieving E-mails on it. Email me at my girls house at dymples@aol.com. I think thats how it works. She is on AOL and her screenname is DYMPLES. E-mail me your address and I will ups it to you. I usualy get to ups stuff for free through my job. (although I cant abuse it) I dont know if UPS will deliver from here to Canada without some extra charge, or if they will do it at all. I will find out, just get me your adress, or any adress you want it mailed to. It claims that with the off road pipes the chip can knock off three fourths of a second! Thats a lot and I realy think it did because I was keeping up with most and beating a few LT1's when all I had was the k&n, H pipe and chip. LT1's typicaly run 14.2 which is about 3/4 of a sec faster than a stock 5.0. Good luck.

fastang, all you have to do is click on the reply with quote button instead of the reply button. You can also use UBB Code.

Just like this:

Hey fastang did you get my private message? I've tried like 5 times to send an email, I've used the link in the post, the link in your profile, and a copy/paste from the thread. Maybe my mail server is f'ked up or something . I sent you a private message with my address, if you check out your inbox it will be there. I guess I could always put my address on the board, if we can't hook up with email.

Ok, How do you get to your private messages on this board? I know its a dumb question but I have never had to do it before, and I cant find the reply with quote option anywhere. If you arent worried about some idiots getting your adress then post it here. I havent got to check my girls cpu yet to see if it went through there. I will probably check it tonight.

I don't think that it will be on your girls pc because the message came back to me as undeliverable. He's how to check your private messages:
1. click on the inbox link above windsor power:


2. Enter your username and password..



Try this the next time that you log on. If you have any troubles, I'll just post my address in this thread.
