    What's the most ridiculous thing you have ever seen?

    Basically what the title says... be it vehicles, people, animals, or houses, I want to hear just how stupid some things are.

        A couple of years ago whilst stuck in traffic on the way to work, I heard an incredibly loud scraping noise as a vehicle approached in the lane next to me.

        As it drove past, it was a small van (Renault Kangoo, not sold in the US) with license plates from an Eastern European country (can't remember which one) happily driving along with only three wheels!

        The front right wheel was totally missing, and being front heavy the van was sat on the hub/brake rotor, with the rear left wheel almost in the air.
        He drove straight past me with sparks flying and happily continued through town!

        I've seen pictures of this kind of thing on the internet, but never expected to see something like that with my own eyes!

          Yeah, I would say that qualifies. No idea why ANYONE would want to ruin an old chevy like that, but let sleeping dogs lie, right?

                I'd probably rather the van with the missing wheel!

                  This is near the top of my list






                  Although a couple weeks ago I saw a car driving down the road with the entire wraparound bumper cover jammed under the car and dragging. People were trying to flag it down but they just kept on driving.

                        OK, I am not usually one to bag on peoples rides; To each, his own. But I have seen about 5 trucks like this in the last week and I do not get it. 12" lift to fit a stock height tire on a rim that is 8" wider than the tire tread.

                          Any taller tire, and you'd be replacing clutches every week with stock gearing.

                          Makes about as much sense as a 1/2" tall sidewall on a 24" rim.

                            Those trucks and cars remind me of the "slot cars" and Matchbox toys people had as kids.

                            P.S. if I offended anyone...oh well.

                              I like lifts that are higher then you and your girl friend can get into.. Was in Geneva FL waiting on a friend.. I think a 12" lift with extra large tyres ,Yoda I think..He gets outs about 150 skinny as heck,she gets outs about 250-300.. She goes in guessing this part here to pay for gas an snack time.. She waddles back out and the fun starts getting her back in.. Pushing lifting panting sweating, then finely some dude shows up with a ladder to get her in...
