"Truck Nuts"=Free Speech - You Decide!

[DrPhil]

Personal opinion:

As with any form of "free speech," it is fine as long as it doesn't impede on the speech of, or endanger, others. Being offensive based on some opinions and some standards is not enough.

I don't remember ever seeing truck nuts so it is probably not something so distracting and shocking as to cause a car accident. That stupid arm in the trunk of that truck, on the other hand.....

Most of the ones I've seen are silver or some other non-human color, but occasionally I've seen flesh colored ones. If I saw a woman driving a truck with them, I'd assume she's kin to Lorena Bobbitt.

But I'm all for Free Speech. Sometimes, Free Speech makes it really easy to identify the nuts. {rimshot}

*Inappropriate joke about how MysticCat has shown me some nuts.*

That's all? I thought it would be more interesting looking (not a nuts joke). I don't recall ever seeing one so they either don't stick out (not a nuts joke) or I thought they were golf balls (not a nuts joke) or something.

You just don't live in the right area. Four years ago when I lived in Louisiana, I saw these all over the place. I rarely see them in Phoenix and never saw them in MD. The ones MC showed look like half a Nylabone.

If those are really supposed to be the testicles of a truck, the proportions are way effed up and there aren't going to be any baby trucks any time soon.

I remember seeing some on a truck while my friend and I were driving home. We thought they were pretty funny!

[AGDee]

When I was first (indecently) exposed to them (haha), I thought they must serve some purpose but just happened to resemble nuts. Y'all are telling me they intentionally look like nuts and are decorative?

*definitely avoiding men who have trucks with nuts* Honestly, I avoid most men who drive pick up trucks if they don't have a valid reason for driving them. There is something about the idea of buying a huge utility vehicle (think F150 or bigger) and then refusing to use it as a utility vehicle because the bed might get scratched. I don't get it. At all.

truck nuts=extreme tackiness

i always figured that the guys that have trucks sporting truck nuts, were overcompensating for personal inadequacies in their own lives.

[PhoenixAzul]

Ugh, I saw so many of those in Oklahoma.

I wonder how big the outrage would be if it was a plastic vagina dangling from the trailer hitch? Would people still think it was "funny" then? I bet the reaction would be vastly different..

Technically, to be analogous, it would have to be ovaries, and I'd be willing to bet most folks couldn't pick a pair of ovaries out of a line up.

Well, they would be inside the truck, so no one could see them anyway.

They're trying to get this going here. Boobies!!!! (Chris Griffin voice)

*I wish those stupid Mom, Dad, cheerleader daughter, baseball son, baby, two cats and a dog window stickers would follow quickly and die.

First place I've seen them is in Northern Cali (Stockton/Modesto area). I've seen them more there than out here in the Midwest

I'm with you on this. To be honest, I never understood the truck cajones
