bentone Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 its like crop circles, its a sign that aliens like graff and are trying to communicate with us by useing a orange dot. instead of haveing a name, they use a dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunm Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 UPDATE: so this morning on my way to work i was next to Union pacific truck so i rolled down ym window and asked the guy about the orange dots on the auto racks. He said it was used for identification purposes but didn't go into detail as he got a cell phone call right when he was about to give the full low down. I'll keep on it and hopefully have an answer for all of us soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunm Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Okay...I tried again this morning. Some union pacific guys in a truck next to me at a stop light and again i do the "roll your window down gesture" ME: "Excuse me but.....(insert orange dot on autorack question here)" Worker: "Where did you see that?" Me: "On an auto rack...more than a few" Worker: "Oh, well, that's....." GREEN LIGHT" Me: "Fuck" UP guys take off. I swear, every day i get closer to the truth and what LENS might find could upset the delicate nature of humanity itself..... ...or maybe just satisfy the curiosity of a few people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Niser Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 do you mean like "good" as in artistically good, or good like "this car is brand new and It is one of the engineer's favorite's." I hope it's the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyneedexperience1 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 ^^^Had me going for a sec. I was like "wow' date=' he's really smart."[/quote'] I Know Right1 I was sitting here really believing that shit. Sounded good though. All bullshit aside, that could be the real purpose for the orange dots, especially if they are also appearing on unpainted freights.. :scrambled: :scrambled: :scrambled: :p :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Orenthal Norton Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I think the orange dot might mean that its being requested to be buffed. Or anthoer X-Man copy cat has appeared to take a few stabs at the stock car scene. ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
