Whats funny is, where I come from, such a symbol means, well, you are a complete moron (i.e. big balls is associated with being stupid). In fact, an insulting gesture you might make to someone would be to raise one pant leg with an eyebrow quirked while looking in disdain at someone…implying THEY have big balls.
And see…someone putting such things on their car kind of proves the point. They ARE in fact stupid. 
Sorry, just giving a bit of cultural exchange here. Carry one.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou. You have found me the perfect gift for my brother in law. I did not think I was ever going to be able to top the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, and there is still payback for giving my kid the cotton candy machine.
I carry two. Y’know…for those keeping score at home.
Fascinating. Where do you come from?
Heh. The few folks I know who descended to putting the Pocket Fishermen they received as gifts to actual use ended up with unexpectedly pierced ears. Brilliant gift.
I agree. I am still laughing my ass off.
So how do the boy cars recognize the girl cars?
Bigger headlights?
I saw those while looking for acessories for my new truck. I guess folks really do buy them. I’ve yet to see them on one yet.
I was driving behind a truck one day that had a set of balls. It was strangely fascinating to watch them sway back and forth.
You know, I think it would be funny to get a pair of the blue ones and hang them on the back of my fun little blue Honda Element. I bet I would get a few looks, especially given that I’m a very non-tough-looking white girl in the suburbs.
That’s probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. hahahaha. Car Balls.
::gasp!:: now the boy cars can get with the girl cars and have car babies! Clown cars! The mini ones that clowns ride in, and then 50 million clowns get out… ::shudder:: clowns…
Hahahahah. The car has nuts.
yeah, I’m immature. so what?
You like that? You’ll love this!
Car balls.
Meh.
The first time I saw them (five years ago), they were made of iron, on a huge assed truck, and then it was kinda funny, if telling.
On a Civic, it would be pathetic.
I used to see a pick up truck with a pair of blue ones while I was stuck in rush hour traffic every couple of days. It struck me as truly bizarre, and I wondered why someone would do such a thing. I asked a male coworker about it, and he said something about protecting the trailer hitch. Oh well, like those cartoons featuring a kid who looks like Calvin oc Calvin and Hobbs pissing on someone or something, they weed out the riff-raff.

Oh, God. Did you read the poem?
:inspecting my junk:
HEY! My left hangs lower!
Is that a “thing” or something?
If I am reading this question right, every guy has one that hangs a little bit more to and fro. For the vast majority of these men (upwards of 70%?), the left guy is the red baron of the two. That is why, when getting pants fitted, you will hear the tailor ask right or left.
Also, I want to get one for my sister’s four banger Nubira. That would be awesome.
“That is why, when getting pants fitted, you will hear the tailor ask right or left.”
Hmmm…
I hoped he was asking about my political affiliation, but I really thought he was really asking if I was gay or not.
Did anyone else, reading the thread title, think it was going to be about those big net bags full of soccer balls? I thought this was going to be castigating blatant Soccer Moms or something.
We’ve had at least one thread about these “truck balls” before.
We actually bought my father-in-law a set for his pick-up quite a few years back when they first came out. You see, he’s a cattle rancher, own a feed lot and runs a sale barn where he associates all day long with other cattlemen. Quite the joker and the funniest man I’ve ever known, for him balls on his truck provided some hilarious repartee with his cow-orkers. Right place, right crowd.
His wife (my M-I-L) had 'em remove them in short order though and, funny as they were, I was in complete agreement. How many times do you want to be driving your mom somewhere and be confronted with a glaring, unavoidable set of male testes? How many times do you want to explain to your young daughter what a scrotum is doing dangling from the vehicle in front of you.
Dn’t get me wrong… I love a laugh as much as anyone and think these are fucking hilarious. But they’re also quite inappropriate as employed without any disgression. They’re public roadways, not pubic.
I went camping in the dunes this past weekend, and one of the guys had a blue set zip-tied to his ATV, which we all found hilarious.
Sadly, they came off when he was riding. Yes, my friend was neutered.
