Worst. Hypnotism. Ever.

But is it funny when you add a dildo over the hitch ball in addition? It should be freak’n funny as hell right? Can you get away with female organs attached to the vehicle?

Some people claim that’s the reason the Edsel flopped:
Modern sports cars can have Bras:
And lots of 1950s cars had breast-like “Bullet” protrusions on the front:

But I notice they don’t do that anymore. And I don’t think anyone ever put a Car Bra on a bumper protrusion (even if it diodn’t contain a headlight).
Desmond Morris claimed that the guys who bought cars really were looking for phallic imagery, so female shapes didn’t go over. I don’t know if that’s true, but these arguablt female images certainly didn’t survive in the Darwinian sdtruggle of Car Designs.
I’ve seen them up here, which is no big surprise. They don’t annoy me as much as the Calvin pissing on (name something you dislike), which used to be on every goddamn pickup in the city.
The only reason my neighbor doesn’t have 'em is that he doesn’t know about 'em. I will not be the one to fight his ignorance for him.
If you were a successful divorce lawyer who specialized in representing women, these could be akin to vanity plates on your Beemer. Add a set for each case won.
I have some in-laws who have big, brawny pickup trucks because they haul stock trailers out into the pasture and tote welding gear around – one of them, a nephew, has a pair of these on his truck. They’re supposed to resemble bull testicles, and the whole idea is completely tongue-in-cheek. They’re popular among the tractor-pullin’, bull-ridin’, bronc-bustin’ set here where Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming all sort of come together. I think the rural West and South are about the only places one sees them – I can’t imagine a pair dangling from the trailer hitch of a contractor’s pickup in Manhattan.
Never heard of it.
The Florida state legislature recently discussed the banning of these things. The bill passed the Senate a couple months ago but didn’t make it through the House. According to Sen. Jim King, who voted against the bill and had such things on his truck until his wife objected, they’re “an expression of truckliness.”
If you want one of these for you’re truck, shouldn’t they be big brass balls.
Yes, we do this thread every so often. Yes, the people who get them on their trucks are probably not being subtly ironic, and are instead stupid/insecure/have very small genitalia/have the worst sense of humor since Moe hit Larry with a trout.
Obligatory link to neuticles, just because. Why can’t things be more like Japan, where I saw a car with a little dangly monkey hanging near the tailpipe?
I need to get me a set for my tiny little girly scooter.
Nobody laughed at this the last time I posted it in the truck nuts thread about 20 before this one: What happens when an Edsel rear-ends a truck with nuts? Does the truck get excited?
For those of you too young to know, there used to be a lot of wisecracks about the grill of an Edsel being somewhat vulva-shaped.
Truck nuts make me wish I had a BB gun handy. They are an inviting target.
I can only think of one vehicle they’d actually match colorwise, that being the pink Mary Kay Cadillacs.
That’s the point of my post #24.
And wouldn’t the truck with the TruckNuts need to Rear-End the Edsel? Or collide head-on?
Fantastic! 
“You see, Officer, it’s like this: I was trying to drive the entire Kama Sutra. Well, I hit the gas when I should have braked and that’s how my grille got in her tailpipe.”
I am happy that such a product exists. I am all for something which clearly and effectively takes the guesswork out of identifying idiots.
Real men have their transmissions hanging out back, visible to all.
