Not that I spend much time looking at balls, but, my, that's a big one. 5" or 6"

If mine were that big, I'd have to park in the handicapped spot, too.

Yes, it's at a Hooters. There is humor just in that.

Anyone else seeing these? Why?

The social pages say I've got the biggest balls of all.

Having lived in Texas for 3 years....

Not only do the natives (if you aren't Native Texan, they feel you don't count for squat) act like they are brainless, they feel the need to show everybody/all the time, how brainless and tasteless they are.

Texas, one big MFing state.....full of nothing of consequence.

Did they ban truck nuts? Maybe he was offended by that & this is his way of being contrarian.

Big balls equals a big trailer.

I noted he was parked in a disabled spot, maybe a large man junk is now a reason to be disabled.

(note the challenger who displayed his junk on Friday night need not be concerned)

Any guy who has just one ball and it was that big deserves a handicap spot.

Being a Texan and having lived here a lot more than three years, I can say that, no, it was probably just you.

My wonderful friends put truck nuts on my Civic and I didn't notice for the longest time. I was getting all kinds of weird looks. When I finally saw them and took them off, they had a serious case of road rash from banging off speed bumps.

In New York that will get you a ticket. Can't have the ball on when not towing.

Interesting.
Can you leave this type of ball on while not towing?

Yes, those are OK. It's the receiver type that protrudes from the bumper, harpoons anyone that rear ends you.

It's not a Class I offense. They won't stop you for it but add it to something else.

Maybe they shouldn't drive into the back of your truck.

Never heard of that. I drove all around with mine installed. Worst part, my SO kept banging her shins on it when loading groceries in the back.

That's the best reason to take 'em off: shin-splitters.

Same escort wagon also had a class 2 hitch.. I was constantly wracking my shinns into it.. especially at night.. go to walk behind the car and run right into it in the dark. This was ten years ago and I think I still have dents

There's a cockbag at work who backs his truck into a spot every day...sticking the hitch out into the sidewalk.
