Huggiebear, I have a lot of respect for your posts and your build thread, but seriously there is no need to drag a thread off topic over a .gif or whatever. Pm or start a new thread, but this is epc fails, not epic arguments.

The story behind that one is that he used the wrong wheel nuts. Apparently the thread was out just enough that they could still fit, but allow a little play in the wheel, causing it to lever itself off.

The biggest fail there is the rego plate. Seriously, a bright pink stretched Hummer can't be cheap to insure, maintain, run or even build/buy in the first place. Might as well fork out for some personalized plates instead of $4.95 worth of pink plate surrounds.

Seriously.

I can see that too. I heard a story of a guy who owns one of them. The 1st business that got that trend started in Aus apparently done a dodgy job. As a result there was a large event held and a group of larger NZ lads hired one... Apparently it didnt go to well and thats why they were held off for a few more yrs in Aus untill they establlished some sorta bench mark or something....

Nothing wrong with a Hummer Limo. It's just a novelty.
Pink however is bad. Black looks good.

Aren't there limits on length of vehicles permitted to be parked on the street? Or is that weight and size, i.e., for trucks etc? If that abomination was parked in my street, I think I'd have apoplexy. Put it in your bloody driveway, or park it elsewhere! Looks as if it hogs a fair bit of the street, being on a partial curve like that.

/yeah, I'm a grumpy old woman.

I call it as an optical illusion. The bummer is straight, it's the road that's curved, the shadow under it makes the thing look bent. Look in the first pic and the chrome rail is straight all the way down the side.
