    Got any interest in this piece I’m trying to unload?

    Smoked tint, radiused corners, beveled edges. Plastic film is still on both sides. I bought it for a camper window and the place cut it 10 inches too short. I have literally nothing to do with it.

    No problem. I’ll probably use it for something eventually.

    Ok, I'm sick of you chumps not spotting me...

    Do you wanna play a game?

    upload_2021-4-24_9-35-18.jpg

    I've been toying with the idea of playing a version of capture the flag. I'd create a new thread for this, but basically...

    I'd start by mounting this flag on the bed of my truck.

    20210424_093319.jpg
    20210424_093324.jpg

    It would be mounted in a way that it can be easily removed by hand. If someone were to spot my truck, parked with the flag, they would "capture" the flag and put it on their own truck, until it was captured by someone else.

    Of course there would be rules, like you have to make it easily removable and allow people to take it, if they spot it. Also, if you previously had it, you can't be the first to take it back.

    I think it would be fun to see where this flag ends up, and possibly track its progress across the country.

    If this is a stupid idea, feel free to shit all over it. I won't take it personally.

    I like that a lot. But I have no clue where I'd put it to be easily removable

    If you don't run a tonneau, I'm thinking a clamp that grabs onto to side rails... if you have a tonneau, maybe fold it up until someone captures it.

    I'm sure I've seen your truck a hundred times. The new tires should help making spotting easier. I usually look for big tires and stand out modifications. Mine stands out like a neon sign and I've only been spotted a couple times

    You were saying?

    Yeah, I try to keep my mods subtle. Even though my truck is heavily modified, most wouldn't know how extensive the mods are.

    If it could become a site wide thing, every member that grabbed the flag wrote their screen name on it. Once a year all gathered up and track progress, would be pretty neat

    Magnet in the flag might work. Give some peeps the option to use it and those that are worried about the paint can not.

    It's a fun idea, and looks like plenty of interest. Start a thread, I'm in. :D

    Yes. Grown men acting like children in traffic. I am very into this idea.

    Hitting the kill switch on each others bikes was always a fun thing.

    Strong "Where's George" vibes. Could geocache the flag theft locations, even.
