Barry Allen, time to put on that goofy looking suit and race Superman around the Andromeda galaxy, again.
Your windshield is happy to see you!
I think that has something to do with Pikachu
The low tire pressure also monitors the spare.
It took me ages to figure that one out.
I didn’t want to be that guy that posts other people’s work, but it’s been a couple days. I think this is pretty funny.
Concerning the vintage engine icon, I still see this warning sign on the road, for tractor crossing:
Tractors (and farmers, too, most likely) that look like that haven’t been made since 1965, yet that’s what people think tractors look like, I guess. And for us old fartes, the check engine icon looks like what an engine should look like; a real American V8.
well, word is, the real American V8 ™ was the reason Check Engine Lights had to be invented
Or an airship. Built by some guy named Cid who appears in video games that go by the name Final Fantasy.
“I have detected that you’re too drunk to drive. Get out now and call a cab!”
I’ll also note that “XING” is uniquely American signage, at least AFAIK. Around here crossing signs are spelled out: CROSSING. “XING” always makes me think of an alien planet, or the alien inhabitants of which, who are preparing to invade Earth with ray guns.
XING the Merciless
My good friend in college wanted to try his hand at standup. One of his jokes was about the signs, specifically the ubiquitous WI and MN “DEER XING” signs, and how originally there were going to be “DEER t ING” like “cross-ing”, but that people were misinterpreting them as a euphemism for urine. “Look out Martha! There’s deer ting in the road!”
Some of the 60’sstyle gas pump/fuel warning lights make me think of an 8-bit elephant head.
(They certainly don’t look like any gas pump I used in decades. It’s like floppy drive and telephone icons.)
Had that come on once, accompanied by a feeling that the car had sunk up to its hubcaps in tar. Turns out it was informing me of a failure in the Electronic Throttle Control module. Given the title, I thought it would cost more than the car was worth to repair; however, the place where I have it serviced replaced the unit for $400 or so (and I could probably have done it myself if there had been more than 6mm clearance between the module and the radiator).
I’ve always thought the glow plug light (“owl?” in Just_Asking_Questions’s picture) looks like a spring, or maybe a Slinky.
I thought that tractor sign was Chinese !
