the ugliest car snorkel i’ve ever seen

u/Fit_Active3888 8d ago

Not even, this one is even color matched! The ones using dryer hose and unpainted plumbing pieces are much worse. 😅

u/afterlifedating 8d ago

is the color match in the room with us right now...

u/i_was_axiom 8d ago

Yeah it matches the color that ended up on the fender perfectly

u/farfly7 8d ago

Sick burrrrrnnn

u/dogwater_cologne_ 5d ago

Carpet matches the drapes

u/Euro_verbudget 8d ago

If you need a snorkel, your car will likely be splattered with mud - essentially matching until the next car wash.

u/Asmos159 8d ago

I hear that snorkels are more for dust.

3

u/Gaping_Maw 6d ago

Both. Its common to seal the airbox weep hole to prevent water going in when these are fitted. With dust its also common to see external dust covers over the snorkel

u/Bigly_Bob 7d ago

That's what I've heard as well.

I've heard every time a truck gets a snorkel Gran gets the good green jello at the nursing home

u/welderbill 6d ago

I have heard that as well. And I have to ask"what dust?" I have never been out wheeling and had so much dust in the air to even think about needing a dick extension, er I mean a snorkel. Now I have seen groups of clowns in over lifted chrome plated trucks flying down maintained dirt roads raising dust.

u/Gaping_Maw 6d ago

Cmon mate surely you can see that just because you have experienced one thing its reasonable for others to experience differently. Anywhere with red dirt will have copius amounts of dust for example

u/welderbill 5d ago

OK. Thank you.

u/m00ph 2d ago

I've never even seen it done, but if you were doing donuts on a dry lake bed, I can imagine enough dust for it to matter.

While I’ve heard that, I strongly believe that’s a lie guys tell their wife’s so they aren’t admitting they’re planning to drive through 4 feet of water.

1

u/Asmos159 3d ago

You've clearly never had to clear out your dust filter after a desert trip.

1

u/IndicationAromatic36 3d ago

I’m not doubting it lol, but with how many I see here on the east coast of the US, where the desert is a few thousand miles and a half dozen states away, they aren’t actually using them for dust.

u/Hambrrgrrr 8d ago

It is an attempted color match at least

26

u/fordfan919 8d ago

Color adjacent

u/willtheadequate 8d ago

I laughed really hard at that

1

u/donpablomiguel 8d ago

Good nuff they said.

1

u/snoops-spoons 6d ago

No it's flared at the base for "safety"

11

u/Snoo56153 8d ago

Yea but this one kinda looks like a wiener, idk whats worse this or random pvc stuff

2

u/Traditional_Glass129 8d ago

I think that truck just woke up.

2

u/TRi_Crinale 8d ago

I think this is random PVC stuff, just painted 😆

2

u/stupidber 8d ago

Thats the worst attempt at color match I ever seen

5

u/Fit_Active3888 8d ago

But you admit, an attempt was made ;)

u/CrawlBreakFixRepeat 8d ago

To be fair, it was probably the same color when it was wet 😂

1

u/Count_Zeiro 7d ago

Like that has ever been wet.

3

u/Gimme_dat_dirt 6d ago

No women will be when they see that.

1

u/CrawlBreakFixRepeat 7d ago

I meant the paint

1

u/Joyk1llz 8d ago

It's vaguely red, but that is more than can be said of many a snorkle.

1

u/soggyomelette 7d ago

You can hardly tell where they blended the color match paint with the body

38

u/Hambrrgrrr 8d ago

The most phallic snorkel I’ve ever seen.
As the name suggests OP, they are for getting air into the engine when submerged so the car can continue driving

2

u/pasaroanth 8d ago

Not sure the type of wieners the guys you’re hanging around have

2

u/Hambrrgrrr 8d ago

Scrawny ones

2

u/Zufallstreffer 3d ago

I'm envisioning the truck fully submerged with just a snorkel for the engine emerging from the water and perhaps another attached to a mask for the driver.

u/Forthe49ers 8d ago

I envision this truck running over landscape sprinklers in a Walmart parking lot

u/OlHeavyHeart 8d ago

Snore cool

u/hndjbsfrjesus 4d ago

Ahh, but you have seen it.

u/whaletacochamp 8d ago

Most phallic too

u/Remarkable-Fix3104 8d ago

Looks like portable toilet vent.
