    I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I’ve been tempted to get a set for it because I think it’d be funny.

    Edit: I’ve also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED’s into the nuts so they’ll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

          I’m pretty sure they’re illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

            They’re illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can’t have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

            Also, we’re not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

            The two men sold Truck Nuts through the late 1990s and 2000s, competing both in the market and in private, exchanging angry phone calls and emails. This conflict escalated into public relations wars, social media conflicts, posts on review sites, blog attack posts, and finally to legal cease and desist orders. Vice News published an article about the feud titled “Balls Out: The Weird Story of the Great Truck Nuts War”.

      /uj many conservatives and even many progressives unfortunately ask the doctor or comply with the doctor’s suggestion of gender surgery for intersex babies. It’s rare for sure but not that rare.

      I think even many progressives would not because they’re biggoted against intersex people but fear of the uncertainty in parenting that child. Instead of sitting in the discomfort they would rather just fall back to what they know.

          The funny thing is that saying something is unhinged doesn’t make it so any more than saying that someone is angry makes it so. You’re reading your own emotions into interactions with other people. That’s unhelpful and unhealthy. You should consider not doing that.

      There are stereotypes of certain personalities who’d attach nuts to their truck, and people are choosing to be associated with them by installing truck nuts. It doesn’t mean they fit the stereotype, they might be nice normal people who do it for their own reasons. But public perception is they think nuts hanging off a truck is funny (dumb) or manly (cringe).
