Hey I must be a redneck, because I like it. The forked tongue is a nice touch. Now if it could only be had in Lalique glass.

Bloody lethal, would probably not be allowed here.

Also in the USA since 1968 I believe - fixed ones anyway

Definitely not legal. Questionable if it would get ticketed though. It would if it became a “thing” but stuff like this that are a “one off” are usually overlooked.

Wouldn't you just tell the officer who pulls you over to get a grip?

Probably would be legal on a truck. (As I recall, Mack still uses their bulldog.)

May be because there isn’t much chance of a pedestrian ending up on the hood.

Talking about trucks, when I was in Texas a number of years ago I recall a number of pickups with steer horns (I think longhorns) mounted on the grill or front of the hood) which could easily gore a pedestrian. They appeared to be real, so I think someone could get easily hurt. I doubt they're legal now, but then this is Texas.

Texas. It's like a whole other country.
Last February, when the electrical grid failed, it was like a whole other third world country.

Has anyone else here checked out Vice Grip Garage? This guy goes many many miles from home to "rescue" vehicles that may not have run for several years. He usually drives them home. https://www.youtube.com/c/ViceGripGarage/videos

In line with the OP, I'ma just drop this here...

If you've never been on an adventure like this—or especially if you have had a similar experience!!!—you absolutely *MUST* watch this epic video of Derek from Vice Grip Garage driving a 1928 Ford Model A (which he "accidentally" bought off eBay ) 714 miles, from DesMoines, Iowa, to his home base near Nashville, Tennessee.
