Old school!
 
I saw something last night that I have not seen in years. Coming down the interstate and this late 90's model Xcab passes and attached to the rear wheel wells were........CURB FEELERS!!! :D

How do these things work? If you have the radio up you cannot hear them scraping on something. Any ideas? Anyway I got a good laugh from them b/c it has been so long since I have seen any.

heh.. here in so-cal, I see them every now and again.. its usually on some lowriders pimped out ride, just for looks.. kind of like the crooked mini-mudflaps.. you guys know what Im talking about?

anyways my late grandfathers 78 cadillac (still in the family and CHERRY) has curb feelers, Im thinking they are either a factory or dealer add-on because I dont think he put them on.. brings back memories

I grew up mainly in Ft. Lauderdale where the average age seemed to be 55! Curb feelers were common on all the land boats these people owned. They emit a noise to the driver when they touch something. I don't know what noise that is, or where it comes from though. But on that subject, I heard a lot of backing-up-beeps coming from these boats too.

Have you guyes seen those mirrors that go on you dash so you can see the light if you pull up too far? I saw some of them on some older cars that were at a local show. Look pretty funny.

i was at a car show today, and i saw a lot of thoes. they were mostly on cars with shaved mirrors (duh). but they made a squealing sound when they come in contact with the curb

I wonder if Toonman will add curb feelers to his retro ride?? :)
