I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY PEOPLE HANG SOME DIRTY NASTY TOWEL OR TEE SHIRT OUT THE WINDOW WHEN THEY BREAK DOWN ON THE HIWAY. IS THIS SOME KIND OF LAW OR SOMETHING? IF IT IS A LAW, THEN WHY DON'T AUTO MAKERS BUILD A POP UP WINDOW-LID ON THE ROOF PANEL AND A BRIGHT ORANGE CAUTION FLAG POPS UP WHEN YOU OPEN IT?
I MAY NOT BE THE SMARTEST DUDE IN THE PIT BUT I DANG SURE KNOW A BROKE DOWN VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WHEN I SEE ONE .....I DON'T NEED TO LOOK AT SOMEONES NASTY DRAWERS HANGING FROM A WINDOW TO TELL ME THAT. IF A VEHICLE IS BROKE DOWN AND PARKED ON THE SHOULDER EITHER THE DRIVER IS TAKING A LEAK IN THE WOODS OR HIS HORSES QUIT RUNNING...ONE OF THE TWO
FLY THE RAG? I DON'T GET IT
I NOW ASK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO SAFELY PHOTOGRAPH ALL VEHICLES YOU SEE FLYING THE RAG AND POST YOUR PICS HERE.
Big ol white car with a white flag?? Which would you notice first!! Pretty funny. I have to say that my dad broke down once and pulled off the road when he came back someone had plowed into the back of his car!!
VIEWERS OF THIS THREAD OBVIOUSLY DO NOT SHARE MY SAME SENTIMENT ON THIS CAR WINDOW RAG THEORY....
IS IT A LAW OR IS IT NOT PEOPLE, THAT WHEN ONE BREAKS DOWN ON THE HIWAY THAT HE OR SHE MUST HANG SOME KIND OF LOIN CLOTH, RAGGEDY NASTY TOWEL, TEE SHIRT, UNDERWEAR OR BABY BANKEE FROM A CRACKED WINDOW TO WARN THE WORLD THAT SAID AUTO IS SCREWED UP?
IF DA WORLD READERS CHOOSE NOT TO SUPPORT THIS NATIONAL AUTO-RAG PHENOM' THREAD WITH SOME PICTURES OF THE SAME ...I AM GOING TO POST UP BARRY MANILOW SONGS AND VANILLA ICE VIDEOS FOR 6 CONTINUOUS MONTHS AS PUNISHMENT
BOX is more accurate than NOAA. Any blow that gomes through is backed up with one of his OFF TOPIC threads. Just tune into WAHOONBOX and check his threads for the marine forecast... Maybe what he needs is a RAG to wipe a fresh stained blade on an early morning outing to cheer him up a bit? Weather is hot and muggy but due for a chill this weekend in time for some kill'n!
As far as the RAGS go. Any other time here in Central VA the roads are littered with cars displaying the sign of "THE RAG". Not today, not in our town. No way with OBAMA coming to town to support a local, our streets are empty and so called safe. He will be parting the Red Sea and no Broke Down Rag Fly'n POS will be allowed! The man himself was plannin ahead with his Clunker Program some time back. Wiped out most of the local population of classic heaps that would have giving me plenty of photo opportunities . Poor broke down doesn't stand a chance with all the secret service crawlin lookin for some hard working sole having a bad day to pick on!
In support of this thread I'll be looking with cell cam in hand, just bad timing here in Ch'ville. Netman
I heard one time that it means you are coming back to get the car and to not tow it. I never understood it either because who the hell would not come back to get their car???
