    It functions as a pull-up bar? I suppose it's a little more portable than the Iron Gym... You must be ripped as hell by now.

    fewer pads than the Total Tiger though:

    and it's less colorful than the Bun&Thigh Max:

    How many easy installments of $29.95 was it?

    I do a lot of night driving and there are a ton of deer around here. I also mount KC lights on it when I do trail riding. It's not strong by any means but, It will offer protection in the event a deer runs out on me.

    You should see the one on my Peterbilt 379.

    I don't know about being insecure or whatnot, but I do know an ugly vehicle when I see one. This one is almost as bad as the Aztek. :D That model was a disaster.

    I'm crying on the inside, because Government Motors will get bailed out again when this product doesn't sell.

    Every time I see a vehicle with a massively enhanced grill, or bumpers, or other body parts, I can't help but think "sorry about the penis, dude".

    You wouldn't be disparging the Aztek if you saw one parked next to your Prius. ;)

    I've actually seen more Azteks on the road in the past year than when they were being sold.

    And I'm fine with that! I like functional, utilitarian stuff. After all, who has time to open the d*mn gate . . . <GRINS>

    Seriously, I have no problem at all with re-enforced, steel pipes and frames in a working vehicle. I have relatives who work very hard to sustain their farms. Having the external pipe frame gives a good place to anchor a rope, chain or even weld on some other 'invention' to make life better.

    But I can't find any use for 'eye candy' front grills ... the more they try, the less I'm impressed.

    Well that's certainly in poor taste. I guess some people are easily intimidated.

    Wait... she didn't say she *tasted* it. I mean, I KNOW Rae, and that doesn't seem to be her style.

    I agree. Massively enhanced grills, bumpers, or other body parts ARE in poor taste.

    It's pretty obvious AnUnidentifiedMale is one of those type of people we are making fun of so he feels the need to defend himself on a Prius forum. :rolleyes:

    It scared me a bit by just looking at the photo!

    I don't oppose big vehicles and gas guzzlers as long as they are put to use properly.
