Pulled into Walreens this morning and wan't careful enough. I don't give a sh*t if the underside of the front gets a bit gouged, but dammit, it rips up the new Colgan bra. So I said to no one in particular, ya know no one ......f*ck this! It's actually the two low spots under the fog lamps on my car that takes a beating.

I slammed my premium grade penguin brain into gear *Ow!* took a nap and then fabricated 3 mini skid plates from sheet metal. Fitted, painted and mounted in a few hours. Matched to the black bra you have to look hard to even see them. Back to Walgreens tomorrow for the test.

They will work perfectly of course. How could they not? I am, after all, the same creative genius that invented the $66.00 exhaust mod. Highly acclaimed as a breakthrough mod for sick lawn tractors and 3 cylinder oil burning V8's. :nah:

Ya know I was afraid to read this thread but you should apply for the Bra Skid Plate patent

The real problem here is.....Have you ever seen a penguin drive? They can barely even see the steering wheel, let alone a curb! Lol!

I learned this on this forum, don't remember who. Use the side mirrors. Pull forward untill the curb is at the bottom of the mirror. You'll stop with the nose about 1 foot away from the curb, adjust to depth you like.

unless you are standing on your webbed feet with your flippers gripping the wheel, trying to get your beak over the side of the door to see out ;-)

Ohhh, That was so freaking funny! Too bad it didn’t end like the Saturday Night Live skit called “Toonces the driving cat”

Now you just need some hydraulic contraption to force the plates to the ground so you can do some scraping. :)

She was 5 weeks in hospital. :nah:

AHHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAAAAA!

Not this time brudda!

They, of course, work perfectly. Quite often crowds gather at many well known high curb spots in hopes of actually witnessing the use of such a meaningful advance in automotive engineering. I now employ 5 full time "TrunkPenguins" to collect the entrance fee at each location.

Penguin "big man now".

Gotta do something about that damn Trunkmonkey however. I'm pretty sure he and the penguins are smokin' crack in the trunk in route. It's an odd smell.

Back to the subject at hand....pics???????? Not a chance! I'm making a bloody fortune here! :p Plus I don't have to pay any of the guys in the trunk. Too stoned to ask for wages! :rofl:

Surely you've seen "Over the Hedge & Madagascar". Penguins are skilled and daring drivers. As long as you observe the "Minimum Penguins required" rules, no problem.

Gotta remember to add a penguin for a stick shift too. :hang:

It's great to be able to park without getting out, seeing that you are an embarassing 2+ feet from the curb, unlocking, getting back in and creeping closer only to feel the dreaded crunch again.

I feel good! I feel real good!

Holy SHIT! I'd be too embarassed to drive my car!

The proof of the "pudding"?? That's such an odd phrase. Was at the PNW gtg on the 19th. No one spotted the 3 skid plates (patented penguin plates) and my front bumper is still a virgin. I haven't even had to touch up the black paint yet.:p
