Last Call: When you gotta go, you gotta go…

Sometimes you just gotta and just cannot wait until the rest stop. It’s for people like you that our patrons of highways started randomly dropping porta-potties in the left lane of interstates. Bonus benefit is that or removed Priuses from the left lane and allows the rest of us to practice our mad auto-cross skills.

Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

    What really killed all the Time Lords. Shitty TARDIS parking.

    Not sure which one would be worse to step out of.

      Sometimes when you gotta go it’s your time to go. Make a big splash.

    Here’s a little thing that has occupied my bored commuting mind several times: The LED rear lights on this buss sort of create a pattern…but, no. They look pretty unorderly scattered, and I can’t take my eyes off it when I see it:

    Despite a fair bit of ridicule (“Buzz lites?”), my wife took a great picture here from the passenger seat. It also includes the two nemesis’ (nemesi? nemesisisisisis?) of the enthusiast: An RV and an automated speed camera. Eases the OCD a bit.

      Oh hell, that would have driven me crazy, too. Your mind just can’t stop trying to make sense of it– not quite ordered, not quite random. I’d have passed the RV at the first opportunity.

    The other day I posted pics of a Corvette shooting brake and a slammed T-bird I spotted during a run. Not sure if I’d file this under “best use of 4th-gen Camaro taillights”, “soda straw dual exhaust”, or “five-dollar/five-minute patina job”, but this was another vehicle in the same driveway:

    Regardless, it’s a customized early-60s Ford panel truck with lots of potential, but a disappointing execution.

    Still not the crappiest thing on the highway.

    When one of our classes began running Spring Break trips to the Black Rock Desert to launch high-power rockets, I had to organize the porta-potty rentals. The rental place was about 200 miles from our launch site, so having the units delivered and retrieved was not within our budget. I dreaded the prospect of showing up with a trailer, loading the units, unloading them at the site, and then, much worse, loading and unloading the full units afterwards. Losing one on the highway was a concern, but perhaps understandably was comparatively low on my list of how things could go horribly wrong.

    I was delighted to find that we could instead rent entire trailers configured for use with multiple units permanently mounted to them. I was also delighted to learn that the California inspection stations have no interest whatsoever in delaying anyone towing a trailer of porta-potties. I don’t blame them.

      I don’t imagine American readers would be familiar with the film ‘Kenny’, a comedy about a guy running a porta potty rental business.

        Yes I’ve been there, a rather unfortunate name but ironically not a smelly place

          Pretty…interesting approach to “marketing” small places.

            Yeah not too tempted by that one. Had a look at the list of the 60 places I’ve been to all but 8 of them, mind you only driven through many. I’d suggest you could find worse places, but those are pretty well known.
