Putting a roll cage on your jeep impresses the ladies.
Painting a roll pattern on your jeep, not so much.

Those lousy Sharks. Their greasy logo is on display until tomorrow morning. Enjoy.

Posted by: triticale at March 20, 2006 10:40 PMA roll pattern is painted on rockets and test missiles, often in large black and white quadrants, so that any roll rate can be measured during flight. Something like the shuttle doesn't need it because it's wildly asymmetrical, but a rocket like the Saturn V, while not completely symmetrical, was close enough to need the visual clues provided by the roll pattern during flight.

Oh,and painting a roll pattern on yer Jeep could come in handy if you plan on rolling it!?
Oh, it's that 2 X 2 checker-board thing. Got it.
Yeah, that would look fuckin' ridiculous on a Jeep.

Posted by: GEBIV at March 26, 2006 10:19 AMIs that why they had the checkerboard pattern on the firewalls of Golden Age hotrods?
