  In another week, it’ll be a gate embedded in the snow with a pile of rust and four tires surrounding it.

  Got a little rust on there. Should have gotten the Trucoat.

  That right there belongs to scrapper bob.

  scrapper bob always has a rusted, beat up, 20 year old pickup, often pulling a dump trailer of the same vintage.

  scrapper bob always has gates, boards, and other flat objects in his truck and trailer to make cargo walls, so scrap can be piled sky high with no proper tie downs.

  scrapper bob is often seen creeping through neighborhoods looking for curbside toilets and sinks to shatter to take just the metal.

  Scrapper bob does not give a fuck.

    You know what looks worse than a Cybertruck? A Cybertruck pulling a Uhaul trailer. I saw that and laughed and laughed.

  Having grown up where I’ve had to have a yearly MoT test for most of my life, as well as a twice yearly ITV test because my van is 25.

  What the fuck?

  Do youse not have any sort of vehicle safety checks over the pond?

    Differs by state. Maine has no emissions req, just a safety and muffler check. Pretty much a no big holes rule, unless you know a guy, and we all know a guy. But it’s yearly. When I grew up in CT it was every 2 years but they put a snorkel on your shit and test for emissions.

  The only upstate New York creativity I ever appreciated was the garbage plate from Nick Tahou‘s in Rochester

    Ooh I love a garbage plate.

      Haven’t had one since the fall of 1998, but I have spent the last couple of decades trying to re-create it.

      I simply fucking can’t. I’ve gotten very close a few times, but just nothing compares.

  I’m not sure which part is actually providing the structural integrity here - the fence gate, the slackened ratchet straps, the rust, or the snow.
