    I've seen this sort of thing before, the weird part about it though was that the person driving the truck was a chick (or a guy with a very, [i]very[/i] good plastic surgeon).

    An ops center I used to work in had a cool award hanging on the wall; the Brass Balls Award was given to the pilot who displayed, well, the balls-iest in-flight maneuver. Very classy looking item, with a walnut plaque festooned with a pair of real machined brass balls hanging from a brass chain. I always thought that would be the item for the underside of a bumper...


    And at home we've got this old clock that has these large teardrop-shaped brass weights on it...



    Wouldn't that look great? But I think my wife would miss them pretty quickly.

    So out of envy and a macho sense of competition, the hitch figured that if the truck had a pair of nuts, it would sprout a trio of balls.

    Are those train horns that I see under there? He must have an on board air tank or something...those things really push the air, very loudly I might add.

    @citroën67 is surfing Ebay for a new Preview button: So it's got a big set of unused nuts and it blasts air out the back?


    Just like the owner?

    Nice.


    I think the xB needs a set of gigantic metal nuts. Of course, my car's low enough that I could reasonably have them just close enough to the ground to send showers of sparks over any major road irregularity.

    @pidgeonsplatz: I hope your out of teabagging range the first time you decide to call her that. Actually, out of range of anything throwable nearby would probably be an even better plan.

    Bubba's got nutz AND balls. I'm impressed. Although, he might want to seek medical attention for those supernumerary balls - they could be a problem later in life...

    Rear facing air horns are not cool.


    Let me tell you why.


    The problem with the air horns is that when you were hooking them up, the truck was tea bagging you. I don't think I want to get that done to me by a Dodge Ram.
