I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I've been tempted to get a set for it because I think it'd be funny.

Edit: I've also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED's into the nuts so they'll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

They're illegal in my ~~country~~ county, but I have seriously considered seeing if I could find a vagina to go there instead, since they're not covered in the law.

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

Whoops, autocorrect. Meant "county" not "country"

What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

That's the "puerile" obscenity carve-out for the first amendment.

I'm pretty sure they're illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

They're illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can't have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

Also, we're not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

My guess would be most of them. Based on nothing.

Reminds me of the old gif of that woman skydiving naked

[–] problematicPanther 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i'd look it up, but i'm on my work computer.

[–] Pirky 2 points 2 months ago

It's a classic. Sadly, I couldn't find it. I think I first saw it in 2012-13.

Jesus Christ. 🤣

Simplest way to install some trussy.

Alternatively, you could put a cowbell on it, it's not obscene, but it's just as red neck.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't work, bc no matter how many you put on, it always needs more cowbell.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The first day you attach one cowbell.

The second you attach two more cowbells.

The third you attach four more cowbells.
