When Road&Track stuffed a spare engine into the back of a CRX, I thought that was one of the best ideas ever.

Been Done!

Now I want to build one with this

No monster truck was ever born with just one beer.

The good news, if there is any, is that the people driving those haulers are getting paid, and there appears to be plenty of work for them. It’s Economic Stimulus by contraction!

Imagine how many brown manual diesel wagons there out there... just waiting to be adopted by folks like you and me. :(

It takes a special talent to lose as many games as the Lions did when you have Sanders in your backfield.
