    It’s an 80’s Bronco II on chrome steelies, 35’s, and full float axles. I’m guessing actual utility won over style here.

    It’s pretty innovative, actually.

    This is definitely a temporary install to pass a vehicle inspection. Tires aren’t allowed to extend past the fenders, so the kiddie pool fenders get them past that rule.

    Lifted trucks here with super wide tire will either have a second set of stock tires/rims that they will install before they go and get a safety check, or they attach cheapo “fenders” that get pulled off immediately after the check.

    I haven’t ever seen kiddie pool fenders before, I usually see plastic landscape edging instead.

    Are they a special needs person?

    You’d have to be to install kiddy pool plastic on your vehicle like that … and to park in a disabled person parking spot.

      Oh shit, didn’t even notice that. We ‘could’ assume things about the car owner but I personally wouldn’t do that because we know nothing about the owner besides this weird car mod.

      But that is the only parking lot that fits my car!

      Seriously, if that owner is not disabled, give him tow priority one. If only to improve the view.

    That shade of “kiddie pool blue” is unmistakable. If they were at least spray painted black, it would still be bad, but not so obviously bad.

      Using a steak knife and vodka to cut your testicles off so you won’t have children will work.

      It’s still stupid.

      I think the original phrase is “if it LOOKS stupid but it works, it’s not stupid” but I’m not a phraseologist. I leave that to more cunning linguists.
