Tell me again why I can't have hood mounted rocket launcher?

[Skrae]

Was on my way home from work yesterday via the highway (yay employment!), when I found my self behind two pickups, one in each lane, and both were keeping pace and going slower than everybody else, which is really saying something on Denver's I-270 during rush hour, since it's usually a parking lot. I notice that the one in the left lane is inching slowly over into the right lane next to the one in front of me (I'm in the right lane). My first thought was, "Fuck, I'm going to have to stand witness for an accident between two putzes (after my accident last year, in which two witnesses stuck around, I've vowed to stick around if I ever witness one myself)."

As I'm thinking this, I see a small silver can-shaped object get thrown from the window of the truck in front of me, over to the other one. I can't think of any soda cans that were that shiny, and given that we've got July 4th today, I think I can safely bet that it was a beer, so we've got two drivers, performing unsafe maneuvers and impeding the flow of traffic while (probably) intoxicated. Lovely.

Because it would increase the amount of air resistance and your fuel economy would go down.

This is why I, instead of wanting a 007-style rocket launcher in my car, want the ability to telekinetically hurl people into the sun.

In these situations, a cell phone goes a long way. Call 911, say "drunk driver" and the cops seem to appear out of no where. I would like to add a dash cam to that too.

The "hit" to fuel economy from the extra drag shouldn't be enough to stop you "customizing" your car in this manner - I'd be more worried about the backblast of rocket exhaust hitting the windshield.

I'd be more worried about the debris on the road, or damage to the road myself.

This is why I tell friends and family....I want a tank. Not a new one, I want a Sherman Firefly VC, you know, just in case.

....I want a tank...

To drive to school... for the bullies... and those visits to the principal's (now) drive-in office...

Just make sure you have bail money stashed away before you decide to drive-in the Principal's office and a phone number for your best buddy 'cause your parents may not want to know you after getting that kind of phone call.

Put it on the roof; easier to mount (roof racks are available for so many vehicles), no impairment to visibility, optional aiming capability if you wanted, ...
