Fake Smokestacks

Parked next to this 680 last week, surprised to see how much smaller his mirrors we’re compared to mine.

 

I get not liking the fake stacks, first time I seen one I thought it was a travesty.

After giving it some thought however, i'm not sure i'd want to drive around with one nut.

 

How about a loose screw?

 

I'm of the thought process that if its not hooked up, get rid of it. Plus it looks super stupid when its -35 out an only 1 pipe has clouds of white steam billowing out while the other one doesn't.

 

Hmm that's a pretty good point.

 

You guys lack creativity and imagination. lol

Way back in the day, (ever heard that before), truckers were enamored with stacks just like today, only we figured out how to make a single stack into something fascinating.
Like soaking a broken hockey stick in diesel and dropping it down the stack to make flames and sparks shoot out, or dropping colored smoke bombs down the stacks trying to get green of red or blue smoke coming out.
The smoke bombs did't work too well but think of the fun you could have with the real stack blowing white and the other stack pouring harmless black smoke, or a smoke rainbow, or bubbles.
Become an environmentally friendly coal roller.

 

Worse than the fake stack thing is this incessant need to put single round headlights on everything. I've never really cared for them on anything, but at least they look sorta okay on the big hood Petes. On a 377 Pete or a T-600 KW, however, just stop it. I swear, some of these clowns need their heads examined. I can't believe they will install those, stand back and say, "Yeah! That looks goooood!".
Same for headlights in the bumper of a W900.

 

Symmetry I agree I like things symmetrical. But having a fake stack is like having a rubber nut.

Funny thing is you cannot buy or duplicate cool. It's either there or not

 

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I wanted a T680 so bad when I first started driving. After the 2014 company truck I had, I would have rather drove the T600 I learned on hands down! Volvo forever!
