Any lifted full size pickup.

Why? Is your sense of masculinity threatened by the color pink?

This, right here! Though I don’t drive semi/trailer trucks I do have a lot of friends that do. They are always complaining about idiots cutting them off last second, dealing with road raging idiots who think break checking a semi is a bright idea. Word to the wise, it isn’t!

As much as we want to put the blame on…

It’s nice to cite trucks as the reason for the increase but I have to believe the increase of idiots in cars is as much of a contributing factor as the trucks themselves are.

My great-uncle owned a farm with nearly a mile of land backing Interstate 5 south of Portland. I remember more than once going out on the tractor to collect truck wheel/tire assemblies that had wound up in the field. He had a stack of them next to one of the barns that he would periodically sell to the local tire…

The Mazda5 (with a manual transmission) was a thing of beauty.

*Ford Ka has entered the chat*

It’s priced at $6,500 now and it looks like the hood wrap is part of the company fleet (you can see it on the other trucks in the background).

Quirks as in, reverse doesn’t work? Or quirks as in, you can summon a friendly spirit with the turn signal stalk? An important distinction. But tentative NP.

Weird, I saw the Cybertruck a LOT this past weekend.

This slide show was a nice trip down memory lane. Made me realize how many awesome car toys I had completely forgotten about!

When you DID manage to jump the train, it was a triumphant moment!  Ever try to jump THROUGH an open box car?  Pretty sure it was impossible but dammit, I tried!

THANK you! This was definitely it, the hole in the front of the hood is for the steering wheel rod. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204179621867

Processed Plastics made this

I got The Pit Change Charger when I was 5 and it locked in my love of stock car racing and working on cars. I fantasized about being AJ Foyt at Daytona back when there were only 4 races televised a year. I can’t tell you how many times I took that car apart and ‘rebuilt’ the engine, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on…

I remember that!  I also remember a plastic Corvette likely made by the same company that had a long rod with a steering wheel at the end that you could sort of “steer”.  Havent been able to find a pic of one of these.

Carpet? Damn rich kids!
