Default Parking lot Hyjinx....

Saw a couple interesting things in the parking lot at work today....

First, one of the mechanics calls in this morning. He says he is quite sore and can't make it in. He called one of the techs that is home from school and he was going to fill in. When I asked why, he just told me to go look at the light pole in the parking lot of the store sharing our lot.

The whole picture is tilted, the second pole is the one on an angle.....

Got a little closer....

The puddle is all his antifreeze,t he pole is moved about 6 inches through the pavement.... How hard do you need to hit a pole to do that??? The story is not adding up.


Then later, I look outside and see this.....

What the hell is up with the hood you ask? I did....

Yup, not one, but two twin screw superchargers. I missed the guy when he left, but need to track him down one day and see what the hell this thing puts out for power. Kinda nuts!


That was my day....

WTFFFFF. Why make a ****ty truck look worse? Please get more info on it if you can. Something here is not making sense. It has got to be BS or a complete swap. Why not just get a typhoon or psyclone instead and not be stuck with crap at the end of the day????? That can't be street legal.....

Does anyone agree that the truck was so embarrased about what the owner did to it, it ejected the dodge emblem off itself? LOL

Yeah, sounds like a new truck in town. Others have seen it, but no one has talked to him yet. I am on the lookout now. Should be seeing some decent power.

Tires and rims do look like stock Dakota R/T, but I know a guy back home who swapped out his for some wider OEM looking ones to make it a bit of a sleeper, so I'm not ruling that out here. Likewise on my Camaro from the side it looks like standard 17" American Racing wheels...but they're 10.5" wide with 315/35/17s.
