HA!!! Is this illegal? I want these!

They're balloons on invisible cord...when you drive, they'll dip down just enough to follow you...



Apparently it was done as an ad campaign for a TV station in Malaysia that was trying to attract attention to "nonstop action" movies and shows.

In Boston, they will arrest you since it looks like a bomb.

Tying it to someone else's car sounds like a good idea.

Strings, if you have it tied to the back of the Honda, it might...
 
(1) pull the fender out a little;
 
(2) help you stay straight next time you have a pucker check at 75mph.
 
I want one.

I doubt you're gonna move fast enough in DC to get them to ride low. Stupid effing traffic...

Another damn red X.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I'd go for Batman or Iron Man, myself......

...or maybe a Photon Torpedo from Star Trek....  grin

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
