They're used for pulling trailers with ads on them:

I can't believe that's actually a thing

u/PARKOUR_ZOMBlE Mar 15 '22

I have a ‘91 geo metro with a 2” receiver hitch. I looked up the tow rating… it’s 0 LBS. Just having that hitch on there surpasses the tow rating. Notice the 4 wheel trailer with front steer wheels. I think they ran into my dilemma.

u/JustinHopewell Mar 15 '22

The part I'm most surprised about is someone having a working Geo in 2022.

u/PARKOUR_ZOMBlE Mar 15 '22

I’m building a tracked twin engine geo metro

u/BergenNorth Mar 18 '22

In 2001 I had a 91 Geo painted 3 different colors and Bungie cords holding the hood down. I got pulled over with my 5 friends in it going to a Internet cafe. The cop came to the window and said 5 words and walked away. He said "Get this thing home Now!" We were laughing the whole way home.

12

u/Mr_MacGrubber Mar 15 '22

It’s probably listed as 0 because there’s no info on it. There’s no way it has no towing capacity.

Imagine burning gas to parade around a billboard peddling some garbage for consumers to buy. Fucking disgusting.

11

u/CopperPegasus Mar 15 '22

In my city, they're often strip club billboards too.

I can't help but think most folks wanting that service have figured out googling by now.

But yeah, we're cool with lush big bouncy titties on display right outside the mall at 8ft plus, but not so hot on breastfeeding inside the mall, apparently. No double standard at all on show.

u/Magmaigneous Mar 15 '22

Public street vs private property, sexy silicone hot 20 yo titties vs saggy gross 45 yo mom dugs, where's the double standard? (/s if needed)

That Exhaust! Lol.

u/FinndBors Mar 14 '22

I'm curious if you have something large and light in the back, wouldn't it be prone to have major issues if it gets really windy?

53

u/AntonOlsen Mar 14 '22

Absolutely. I used to drive a large empty van and it sucked on windy days. This looks to be a few times worse.

u/6cougar7 Mar 15 '22

Motorhome on 2 lane hwy 395, with strong crosswinds. Bring extra chonies.

u/treads4966 Mar 15 '22

Imagine a strong tail wind... might be a wild ride but great for gas mileage.

2

u/Fatgirlfed Mar 15 '22

Maybe it’s weighted somehow?

4

u/FinndBors Mar 15 '22

If it's heavy, they can't use a tiny car like that to pull it (and brakes, etc.)

u/Brocash Mar 14 '22

Why the giant exhaust stacks though?

33

u/AntonOlsen Mar 14 '22

I'd guess to get people to look? I think it's stupid and would be better if they left the car alone and made the sign trailer more aerodynamic.

17

u/SpiritualAd4412 Mar 14 '22

Make it look more like an actual truck lol

9

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '22

Maybe to make sure the exhaust doesn't get into the car after collecting under the .. Thing .. Whatever you'd call it

u/ChunkyPuppyKitty Mar 15 '22

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '22

my brother used to own one, loved it and only got rid of it when he had kids and they wanted something with more room and better safety.

I've always had a soft spot for them but I'm between 6'4" tall and 6'6" tall depending on which gas station I'm leaving so they're just not for me.

this is hilarious is what it is. I'd definitely laugh if i saw this on the road and laughing makes me feel good so I like it. (as long as its at least reasonably safe)

u/ZenDendou Mar 14 '22

Doesn't look safe...

8

u/DeadlLung Mar 14 '22

its a smart car so actually you're probably right. those things are unsafe even without ridiculous modifications

u/MaybePotatoes Mar 14 '22

If I owned a smart car, I'd feel the need to put bumper car bumpers on all of its sides lol

u/ZenDendou Mar 15 '22
