That’s my favorite part of the story

you, dear friend, have the sickness, and I applaud you

The word he should have used was survived. The truck survived it.

I mean, the truck can’t take it or it wouldn’t have smacked the bumpstops hard enough to cause that!

The biggest thing those have is longer suspension travel. I got to talk to Robby Gordon and a few drivers at an SST race at Mid Ohio last summer (all super cool guys!). Those trucks have standard racing seats in them, no excess cushioning. Sat in one, standard racecar stuff. They have very long travel suspension, lots…

5 point safety harness. You do not want to come off the seat,

A seat with shock absorbers plus 12 inches of foam under his ass.

Well, I am honestly impressed with his candor and admission that there’s no one to blame but himself. Here’s to good healing.

Having worked for 33 years in state government, 5 of those in my state’s DOT, and having a daughter who was an engineer for our state’s DOT before moving to the private sector, and having a spouse that is still working for our state’s DOT (in IT), and said state NOT being Pennsylvania:

I would be fairly certain that they dont have their captains license.

That just exposes you to having to pay space tax though.

I don’t think it makes sense to look at this thing’s features, we need to actually look at how it is being used. Is it constantly docked, and somebody lives in there? It’s a house. Does it move around a lot and is only docked temporarily, and nobody lives in there when it’s docked? It’s a boat.

Membership for living in this country requires everyone to pay an amount to keep a certain standard of living. Do you like roads? Living in an area of the country where there are too many dirt roads, I can tell you that is not a solution, and even then they need upkeep.

The casino boat I worked at briefly in college had to fire up the engines and move once per year to remain legally a boat. While this was a river boat and in a different state, it was still a boat who’s entire existing was a legal loophole. 

Sounds good to me.

The whole earth is a ship flying through space.

Since all the tectonic plates float on magma, we all live on boats too and are not subject property tax.
