I snapped the above pic in the parking lot of my apartment building today.

Who are these people fooling? I didn’t know a bone stock, late model Tahoe was badass. I mean maybe if the thing was a candy apple red, lifted Blazer running super swampers I could understand. But not a champagne colored kid hauler that might only see offroad action if the owner gets impatient during a traffic jam and has to pull one of those u-turns across the median.

The (Chevy?) truck from the Terminator movies that the guy is driving in the future sequences with the big chain gun mounted on it was badass because it was being driven through a pile of human skulls and being hunted down by a giant flying robot. Now THAT thing was a bad ass toy.

Continue after the jump for a picture of that terminator truck, more rants about stickers, and another funny pic from my parking lot.

Here’s a pic of the terminator truck in case you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about:

That guy certainly looks like a bad ass boy, what with the gun and helmet and all. But I don’t think he’s worried about spreading the mantra, I mean, he’s about to be blown up by a frickin’ laser beam. 

And so I digress. The bad ass decal irks me, but you know what else irks me that I saw today? That’s right, one of these “bad boys:”

Didn’t this silly decal die in the early 90s? At least in the northern states?

The worst part is, I spotted it on a faded, early 90s Civic. Certainly that car or owner was never in the Bad Boy Club. I wonder what the membership rates are for this club? Do you have to punch a priest or other member of the clergy? Or possibly impregnate a nun? I guess I’ll never know, I’m not bad enough.

I have one more set of stickers to share, and they’ve been staring me in the face every day when I go to my car. No, it’s not my car, but this guy lives in my building.

His 240 SX has been dead, sitting in the same spot for a year now. So I park next to it to keep it company. I bet he gets all the ladies:

So I guess instead of drifting, this 240 owner is hardcore into gaming.

In case you can’t read it, the one on the left says “I’d rather be fragging” and the one on the right says “31337 H4XOR.”

I think he should just sell this thing so I don’t have to look at it every day.
