    Something has to counterbalance the weight of the largest truck nuts you've ever seen dangling off the trailer hitch

    Omg, I have seen this hideous hideous H2 Hummer, in person.
    The owner is a 50's something Hispanic male, that drives in a very arrogant, and caress manner. He drives that beast on Sundays on the 60 freeway, between Monterey Park, and East L.A.

    The side of the H2 has a big sticker that reads, "El Jefe", which means, "The boss". The chrome birds, and women on the roofrack circle the while roofrack 360°. Seeing this vehicle in person, severely damages the retina.
    Wax, gloss, armor all, chrome, and the dog in front, does the truck.

    Well, hard to tell...
    I have encountered the wretched beast on two occasions, both on Sunday @ 11am, heading West on the 60 freeway.

    This H2 driver rolls around with his whole family, in tow
    Looks like his poor aging wife, and several teenage kids that go out if their way to hide their faces while we continue to gawk at the heinous Hummer H2.

    My assessment is that the owner of said vehicle is suffering the ill effects of an 80's cocaine binge. Poor dude, poor wife, poor kids, poor Hummer.

    I was riding shotgun the 2nd time.
    I took a good mean look at the driver, the vehicle, and the poor occupants.

    The guy looks like a poorly aged 1980's Mexican pimp.

    If he drives aggressively, then when he hits someone and they're impaled and lacerated ( possibly to death) there will be a law suit and maybe legislation enacted.

    Hell, the guy deserves community service just for making people look at this wretched thing. (OK, not really, but it sounds good.)

    Ok.. curious.
    What citations would you give out based on the picture?
    I know front bumper mounted carriers are nothing new, and as long as it does not hinder driver visibility...



    The rest of the stuff is just bling.... not sure how well any citation would hold up under court scrutiny when the local auto-parts store sells so much of this type crap.

    Only issue I have are the fishing poles.
    The other items can be securely fastened.
    The poles are a whole 'nother matter.

    No, I meant the original picture of the Humdinger.
    I added that picture to show that front mounted carriers were not that unusual.

    Any item that protrudes outside the normal radius of said vehicle, is unsafe.
    If owner of said vehicle wanted to mount the arrogant dog on his roof, the only issue would be whether the item was properly fastened. But, because the item is fastened to the front of said vehicle, the item becomes a trip and fall hazard because any person could possibly run into said item.

    Reason being; The item is in a common area where a normal person, would be forced to access that commin area, inorder to walk around said vehicle, such as, a public parking lot.

    I ALSO have issue with the chrome birds, that if not properly fastened can become flying debris, in any collision. Reason being; The roofrack is arguably fastened to said vehicle, the chrome birds, on the other hand, can only be properly secured to the roof rack, if they were welded. Screws/bolts, can vibrate loose over time, and I wouldn't want to be the poor soul that gets hit with a chrome bird that falls off of said vehicle, at 65mph.

    Just because you don't like it doesn't make it illegal.

    so.............is it illegal or just unsafe to hit people with your bulldog?



    and if you see a bulldog charging at you on the front of a hummer is it against the law to stop it with multiple rounds of ordnance? Or is there just an ordinance written to cover that occurence.

    So, the argument that you shot at said dog, because it was viciously charging at you (at a high rate of speed) because you were in fear for your life.

    Omg, that almost sounds like that argument can hold its own.
