    If I ever got a crown vic I'd hook up a loud speaker behind the grill so I could say stuff to people from inside my car.
    Kinda like in the Hangover when they stole the police car and he told that girl she had a nice rack over the loud speaker. Like that.

    We had a guy that did that to a truck he had. (Also put a train horn on it.) It ended pretty quick.

    I've never been a fan of honking train horns at people. It gives a whole new definition to immature.
    I'd mainly use it for messing with friends.
    Just like this. Skip to 1:10

    The character Bradley Cooper played in this movie describes me so well. It's not apparent until you get to know me, though.

    my thoughts exactly, the ford explorer was a pretty awesome SUV before unibody(still is i suppose, but it's more of a crossover now) (seriously though, the explorer is supposed to be an SUV not a crossover, so BOF makes far more sense then unibody)

    My favorite Explorer is the 3rd gen. The 2nd gen were just overall pieces of shit, the 1st gen was less shitty and cooler than the 2nd imo, but I still like the 3rd gen best.
    I remember my grandfather had an 04 explorer back in the mid 2000s. I wish he woulda kept it because I'd probably buy it off of him. Cool car. Traded it in for an 07 Lexus Rx 350. Ugh. Then he bought an 08 Rs 350 for my grandmother. Not a huge fan of either car, but apparently he had always wanted to have a garage full of Lexuses (lexi?) and I'm glad he was able to do that before he died.
    Those Lexi are way to complicated for me. I'm always afraid its gonna lock the doors or something if I walk away from it and leave it running. Or walk away from it at all, for that matter. Way too many safety interlocks, too.

    my fave would probably also be 3rd gen (4th gen's also pretty cool)

    my parents had a 2nd gen explorer(so many freaking problems with that crapbox, door handles on outside of drivers door were pretty much toast, auto-locks took like, 50K presses of the unlock button before they would successfully unlock, batter also randomly died trying to start it up to leave Sonic (the drive-in fast food resturant) until my youngest sibling was born, at which point we had to upgrade to a 2nd gen expedition

    concepts are okay

    And some actually get pretty close to their production counterparts.

    Concept cars are great. Its an excellent way of letting the designers really express themselves, innovate, and show how a brand may evolve in the future. Yes, a lot of concepts rarely translate directly to a production vehicle, but often thats not the intention. Often they are used to gauge public reactions to certain design elements, and the feedback from every concept car is always useful in a brand moving the design direction forward.

    And who knows, maybe the public will love it and head bosses will allow the production version to be very similar. Heres a few examples of concepts which made it to production with minimal changes:

    Oh fuck no. It doesn't look like anything to do with a ship. Their company name is a type of ship. What the fuck.
    It looks like the kinda tattoo some skank would have on their lower back. ;-;

    A corsair is not a type of ship.

    Wait, if he hasn't been missing why are you worried?

    Seriously though, do people actually run away because they get bullied?

    How to deal with bullies 101
    Just tell your school authorities with actual proof that they're bullying people.
    I almost got one guy kicked out of my school once, didn't mess with me again.

    i suggested a feature :p


    http://redmine.beamng.com/issues/167

    (probably won't happen for a while though, as DrowsySam said (and TBH i expected) that it requires the ability to rotate jbeams in the map editor for it to work well, which isn't easy)
