I grew up on the east cost and this gang initiation theory was often talked about. Only I always heard it as drive around with lights off until someone flashed their headlights.

Yeah, I don't know if it was true anywhere. I always lived a long way from either coast and we didn't do that stuff.

Brummbar. Back in the day, not something you wanted to mess with.

Brummbar. Back in the day, not something you wanted to mess with.

Sturmpanzer. Armored troop carrier. Brummbar means "grouch" which I think is what the allies called it. Krauts called it a Stupa. All this from Wiki-somewhere.

I believe what you are looking at is a Sturmtiger or Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61. It fired a 380mm rocket propelled mortar and was designed for close in city fighting with thick armor and big booms.

The rounds were so big (4+ feet long) that they could only carry 14 with one in the chamber. It was a heavy infantry support weapon but not a troop carrier.

The Brummbar did look very similar but instead of being based on a PzKW IV chassis it was based on a Tiger I chassis so the scale different.

Years ago I heard about this, I think it was in LA. To get into one of the gangs you had to drive around with brights on and when somebody flashed you had to follow them home and murder them.

Many years ago, in Chicago area, there were rumors of that. When I was young, if you saw a car without headlights on, it used to be a courteous gesture to flash your lights. When I became older it turned into a gang signal.

I drive a lot at night so I put in top-o-line LED bulbs. I get the flash or anger brights often. They quickly correct themselves when I turn on the brights.

If you are getting flashed a lot when on low beams then maybe it’s your car that needs a correction. Maybe your low beams need to be realigned.

Negative. Silverado OEM light height is really only hated by your lowered import crowd, which there is plenty of around here. Not my fault they chose the Gibert Gottfried of automobiles for a daily driver.

That burns my britches. SWMBO rolls her eyes, but I never let it pass without a "Hot water doesn't need heating."
That and ATM machine. "So you going to an automatic teller machine machine?"

How do you feel about AC current?

 

[rhamersley]

My grandmother always talked about “unthawing“ meat or whatnot from the freezer…

How do you feel about AC current?

I dunno. I tend to alternate on it. Sometimes positive. Sometimes negative.
