Drive along looking cool with your fake elbow hanging out of your open driver's side window.
Behind the facade of devil-may-care motoring, your real arms are both employed in keeping the vehicle under control.
Now, you may already feel that you've stolen a march over those who drive dangerously
with an arm hanging casually out of the window, and you may feel hipper that those boring fellow motorists who betray their need to grip the steering wheel with both hands by a lack of elbowage* in their drivers side windows.
But this device just gets better. As well as acting as an elbow substitute, its false hand will grip your beverage du choix as you enjoy the open road.

Reminiscent of Johhny Depp's fake arm in "Once Upon A Time In Mexico." I like it. |
|
| |
I would want two, in matching sleeves. I could then confuse drivers behind me by appearing to be able to hang my right arm out of the driver's window and my left arm out of the passenger's window. |
|
| |
I like this idea.[+]
I'd want a button which would hydraulically pivot the arm at the elbow and flip the bird to the car behind. |
|
| |
And another arm that wraps around the passenger seat. [+] |
|
| |
I'd like one that looks like the passenger's arm has been caught and dislocated in the electric window. |
|
| |
Sure-fire bun-magnet. Nice one [fishrat] |
|
| |
...and two more for sticking out of the sun-roof. |
|
| |
Perfect, [fishrat], just perfect. |
|
| |
How about a pair of fake feet poking out of the passenger window, too? Or a dog head? |
|
| |
The dog head doesn't have to be fake, I've got a noisy one next door; I can get his head for you... |
|
| |
Somewhat related: I once read of a fellow who fastened a mask to the back of his head and drove along leaning out the side window. |
|
| |
A large ripped arm with a prominent Special Forces tattoo should deter would-be carjackers and road rage enthusiasts. |
|
| |
Several years ago an ‘express lane’ in/out of the city was opened for carpooling vehicles only. Police camped at the entrances and ticketed for single occupancy. It would be far less embarrassing to get caught with a fake passenger’s elbow than the usual prop – an inflatable doll. |
|
| |
Maybe we could get a fake ass for the window aswell on a hydraulic command so you can moon people on demand. lol - Great Idea(s), these posts got me laughing pretty hard. |
|
| |
Of all the ideas I've read this week this is the most humerous. |
|
| |
"HUMEROUS?" <groans, rolls eyes> |
|
| |
That damn Fishrat creates another winner. (Jealousy steam puffs outta both my ears!) |
|
| |
*SOMEONE PLEASE DESIGN, CONSTRUCT, AND MARKET THIS IN TIME FOR THE 2005 HOLIDAY SEASON! |
|

One hand is waving "hi" to Size_Mick, the other is holding my "Biggie" diet coke. The third one, well, it's been given the gift of life, and is now flipping off the idiot that just almost drove me off the highway, and then resumes it's innocent, lifeless duty, as a spare elbow. |
|
| |
Nice one; reminds me of those stick on ears for motorcycle helmets, and the fake fingers on the boot (trunk). The cup holder idea was the clincher.
Could it hold my mobile as well? |
|

Being a very cool yet responsible motorist, you should check your mirror before you pull out . I must admit I pull out without looking sometimes, (often tits and elbows and other hairy stuff gets in the way). So it can difficult, especially with a false one. But you’ve got to keep at it regardless of the banging around you. Wouldn’t it be cheaper on the insurance, if you and your elbows just had quick look? With the window open (an elbow attached to a closed window just doesn’t look as cool) you’d have to be careful not to get anything in your eyes (all 3 of them). But you would be rewarded with a view of the rear (of the elbow). For those that might not understand what I see in these mirrors, video versions are available. Do you have any pictures of your elbow? |
|
| |
(often tits and elbows and other hairy stuff gets in the way). |
|
| |
Well yeah, hairy tits, and elbows, and other stuff make me drive weird. What the hell drug are you on? |
|
| |
Where do ya keep the private stuff, if that stuff is hanging out the car window? Sorry, can't type anything I'm laughing. Why the heck would anyone, no matter where they live, have "hairy' things interfering with their ability to drive. |
|
| |
AND NO, BENFROST, YOU DO NOT GET TO ANSWER THAT, NOR DEVELOP AN IDEA SURROUNDING THAT, OR EVEN THINK OF HAVING DR. CURRY'S INVISABLE BLOW UP STORE DOLLS, TAKE PART IN YOUR NASTY, PERVERTED, SOON TO BE, IDEA. |
|
| |
After the Hurricane of an anno from bliss...
I'd just like to say this is a corker of an idea, have a bun. [+] |
|
| |
What about when I really want to put my elbow out of the window? [-] |
|
| |
I still don't get the hairy things, but I guess I'll just have to spend yet another day in the dark. (Nice to see ya, TEA, been awhile!) |
|
| |
Nice. You could paint it red on sunny
days to simulate truckers' sunburn. |
|
| |
[PauloSargaco] Don't panic - the fake elbow isn't welded on. You could always move it to the passenger seat. |
|
| |
... and for gossipers, the fake elbow can be used for additional nudge nudge *nudge*, wink wink. |
|
| |
Or for annoying people, an extra limb to slap someone sideways, out the frigging car window.... |
|
| |
I'd have 3 in a row. People would stare. |
|
| |
I'm not an Aussie, not on drugs and your obviously not catholics.....(read my previous anno with just the two eyes) |
|
| |
<pedant>or with good grammar. (your = you're) [Prolixed]</pedant> |
|
| |
Unless he was trying to say that you did not express a universal and/or broadly liberal outlook. |
|
| |
I've long wondered why so much time is wasted on the HB with trolls who can't (or won't) write a coherent sentence. |
|
| |
I hope your'e not referring to our Canuck? |
|
| |
[Bliss], no, but RE: Prolixed, |
|
| |
like you said "what the hell drug are you on?" |
|
| |
That double entry thing has happened twice this week. Someone had a triple. That used to happen in the old days, but not for some time now. I didn't even hit enter twice. Odd. When I get some sleep I shall nofify the bakesperson. I noticed it on several other folk's annos also. |
|
| |
Maybe the program is highlighting "your'e" |
|
| |
Good idea. The annos are funny too.
Would type more but I am close to
falling into a coma on account of i had
to get up early and go to class. |
|
| |
//I could then confuse drivers behind me by appearing to be able to hang my right arm out of the driver's window and my left arm out of the passenger's window.// |
|
| |
"Well, we've always known that [wagster] was a big bloke, but that must be one helluva small car..." |
|
| |
Its a good idea, i drive with my elbow outside the window all the time and my arm still reaches the steering wheel, for straight roads of course. |
|
| |
//Good idea. The annos are funny too. Would type more but I am close to falling into a coma on account of i had to get up early and go to class.// |
|
| |
Really? Try and do better the next time you cheese out. Anyone from Iowa can do better than claim "coma", as an excuse for not taking a stance. (Consider our Kanasian friends.) |
|
| |
If it weren't for the beverage holder feature, I'd most assuredly bone this one! It is that feature that turns a bone-bomb into a bun-bomb! That's elbow slang for "Have another bun!" |
