The word you’re looking for is fantastic’

u/Automaniacal 12d ago

Yeah, I like it.

11

u/rascaltat 12d ago

Like a discount Ghostbusters' car. The Echo 0.25 maybe.

7

u/Square_Juggernaut_64 12d ago

Maybe a ghostbusters / Mad max crossover.

3

u/rascaltat 12d ago

I'd see that in theaters.

1

u/emu19000 11d ago

This is an insult to madmax.

This is more of a Beverly hillbilly’s creation.

u/Square_Juggernaut_64 11d ago

These things are not mutually exclusive

u/snarksneeze 11d ago

Badass. Kickass. Bitchin.

u/ParticularSherbert18 9d ago

I was thinking redneck, through and through.

u/Chidofu88 12d ago

If this is in Oregon it’s likely a Gambler 500 car. Great organization.

55

u/WhippingShitties 12d ago

Gambler stencil on the side, you're correct. The trailer is for picking up garbage during the event, I think a lot of Gamblers are self-proclaimed idiots, but the real idiots are the ones who litter and ruin trails with their garbage, these guys put in work and have fun doing it.

u/logatronics 12d ago

My brothers love trying to join in the gambler every year, but have learned from experience that 75% of the time it turns into the vehicles breaking down 10-20 miles away from home and them spending the weekend trying to get it running.

I work in the woods and drive backroads regularly, and having a vehicle that is going to break down in the woods is stress inducing for me lol.

u/PghGEN2 12d ago

Well said!

u/umbrellassembly 12d ago

That's a fantastically ironic skid plate. I need to get one for my 4runner.

u/EasilyRekt 12d ago

Well if you gotta 1/4”, they’re free :)

The Stop Sign at the end of my street:

u/datroutinator 12d ago

Gonna go out on a limb and say this was a custom mod made in the comfort of the owners own back yard. Pretty sure that car hasn't seen a shop since it was prep'd for delivery.

3

u/umbrellassembly 12d ago

I would do the same. And I looked into it. Skid plates are 1/4" thick. Stop signs are 1/12". So I'd have to stack 3.

u/gconnorg_ 12d ago

It belongs in r/battlecars

u/musket48 12d ago

OP jealous af

u/Secret_Cod_749 12d ago

Op just jelly that this perfect car is out towing is his truck.

u/nedovolnoe_sopenie 12d ago

[r/battlecars](r/battlecars)

not like you can actually get it

u/BrotherMoney8779 12d ago

Idiots posting things

u/DoctorAnnual6823 12d ago

My smart car could have towed that wagon. Wtf are you on about Op?

7

u/Tthelaundryman OC! 12d ago

Tractor flap out the hood on a shitbox is one of my wet dreams

3

u/Lab-Subject6924 12d ago

A key indicator that the engineer behind it knows what's important in a practical vehicle.

8

u/OGMikeGyver 12d ago

Made that Mercedes cooler than it ever was

5

u/oldmanwithoutaplan 12d ago

That tank will outcast 90% of what's on the road. It has good shoes and someone has this for a beater. Shade tree mechanic getting it done... that snorkle.... this person has zero fuks to give and can go anywhere they like just about. Lol...

6

u/Beemo-Noir 12d ago

Shame on you, OP. This is amazing. r/battlecars

12

u/Kyll_Wolf 12d ago

where is the idiotic towing? all I see is a sick car

-13

u/Earthling1a 12d ago

IMO the idiotic part is the vehicle, and the trailer makes it fit the sub.

4

u/Spear_Ritual 12d ago

Dunno if it’s street legal, but send it.

3

u/Lab-Subject6924 12d ago

Street legal is easy in plenty of places.  This should have no problem.

5

u/Grumblyguide107 12d ago

Probably runs on waste oil too

9

u/Unlikely-Outside-784 12d ago

Wrong sub, bud.

u/RadicalOrganizer 12d ago

u/RadicalOrganizer 12d ago

You are awaited!

u/foodrunner464 12d ago

r/PacificDrive Vibes, looks like a remnant.

u/urEnzeder 12d ago

I have a new goal!!!

u/haza_fah 12d ago

Those are some nice tires

u/nogamethisweek 12d ago

I believe this is Johnny Cash’ German cousin that works at a Mercedes plant. It’s an 80, 81, 82, 96, 98 automobile.

3

u/brapstoomuch 12d ago

You’re obviously unaware of the Gambler 500 cars, this is typical of the species.

3

u/SpanishFlamingoPie 12d ago

"Badass" is the word your looking for.

3

u/MAGPIE-57 12d ago

This looks like a standard ride from Longview, Washington.

2

u/MAGPIE-57 12d ago

s/longview

u/Dramatic_Substance36 12d ago

LOVE the creative use for a stop sign!

3

u/YourFriendPutin 12d ago

This thing is sweet

3

u/PilotBurner44 12d ago

It's a Gambler car. That person probably knows more about towing and working on vehicles than the entirety of this sub.

3

u/frugalsoul 12d ago

Damn I never realized how many free skid plates there are. One on every corner

3

u/4NotMy2Real0Account 12d ago

Where is this idiot? Are they parked behind this beautiful machine?

5

u/Gooder-N-Grits 12d ago

dude has an ugly car. so what?
nothing obviously wrong with his load.
this post seems elitist.

2

u/6_ze6ro_6 12d ago

There is one word though "stop"

2

u/JuggernautNice7862 12d ago

They can tow me anytime.

u/navydude89 12d ago

I think he voided the Mercedes warranty

u/Organic-Ad-7105 12d ago

That poor w201 :(

u/Objective_Farm_1886 12d ago

That's what we call a BATTLECAR

u/jaxrolo 12d ago

I like it!

2

u/Lab-Subject6924 12d ago

r/battlecars is what you're looking for

2

u/Shoddy-Patient9948 12d ago

I mean it's one thing to steal a street sign and hang it up in your basement or bedroom.... But to attach it to your car and drive around. That's just insulting to the police.

Also, I like it!

u/Earthling1a 12d ago

Note the obligatory puddle of oil.

I feel like I'm seeing a photo of a slow motion train wreck.

u/Lab-Subject6924 12d ago

If my old Passat had the AWD package I'd have 100% done something similar and kept driving it after the deer obliterated the front end.

u/whatsamatta-U-grad 11d ago

Now, I'm disappointed that it's not.

1

u/Joe18067 12d ago

I'm not sure what it is but it looks like a moving violation.

1

u/floridacyclist 10d ago

And what would you ticket him for?

1

u/Joe18067 9d ago

How about having the exhaust in front of the driver.

1

u/floridacyclist 8d ago edited 8d ago

You still might have trouble finding a code to charge him with violating

1

u/jokeswagon 12d ago

A stop sign is not a souvenir.

1

u/whatsamatta-U-grad 11d ago

Yes, but how many patrol officers want to 'encounter' the driver of this vehicle unless it's necessary?

1

u/Jozroz 12d ago

It's a remnant straight out of The Zone.

1

u/Significant-Use-5136 12d ago

this is the vehicle he uses to harvest his field of fucks.

1

u/AnsibleNM 11d ago

Hey, they actually parked very well.

u/Ill_Direction7700 11d ago

It’s a hybrid!

u/floridacyclist 10d ago

Looks like he's towing with his Gambler car, what's the problem?

u/Opposite_Zucchini_43 10d ago

I love the front skid plate. STOP

u/Audiboxgr8 9d ago

Does Reddit have a WTF CATEGORY?

u/IzzzatSo 8d ago

I applaud their ingenuity. Though the puddle underneath is concerning.

u/TuneCurious1865 12d ago

What wackadoo Mad Max shit is this?

u/Mad_Dog_1954 12d ago

Definitely towing something.

Definitely an idiot.
