Carroll Smith sure believed it was bad, and I’ve never thought of him as stupid.

This guy made one from plates and other standard materials!

A few years ago, I was driving through on the Interstate an my brakes failed, I’m pretty sure I was towed to that same store! After dropping my car the tow-truck driver told me “ Now don’t get shot! You’re in the bad part of town now!”

Why is arctic warfare such an issue for Americans? Beyond the Bering straight/sea how much waters do you really need to cover? Most of the Arctic ocean on this side of the world is Canadian waters, an most of the arctic resources are contained in the Bering Sea or well within the continental shelf on the Canadian side.

Like Chally said, the top deck of the tower is partially covered to allow use is severe weather. It’s fairly common for ships/boats meant to operate mostly in the arctic. Canadian icebreakers have covered decks on most often work area for much the same reason. It’s hard to understand just how cold it can get until…

Actually, I think you’re right.

How would you then call the de-coupled turbos like they use in F1? An electric supercharger and an “exhaust generator” doesn’t sound right...

Any racecar worth it’s salt is held together by duct tape and zip ties! This come from 3 years as a crew on pro funny cars.

Pretty sure he’s done beached himself there... Front wheel is barely touching and he’s gonna need a hell of a lot pull than the rear ATs will give him... Doesn’t look like the back pumpkin is riding on anything, but one can always hope right?

A ‘92 funny car frame dressed up as a ‘73 Vette, a ‘56 Chevy or a ‘36 coupe! Not technically that old, but still cool!

Low-pro mudders, with big shiny rims!

Last I saw at the autoshow, the base MSRP in Alberta for an XD was 55K, if that’s changed, I was not aware of it.

In Canada at least, you can get a well equipped 2500 RAM with a full size, proper Cummins for 3k less than a base Titan diesel. And you can also get a wheel barrow with more power and capacity than a Titan. Sure the XD will haul more than a 1/2 ton Dodge but it’s also at least 15k more and 100hp underpowered, and the…

Why do all these people get there panties in a bunch over diesels? They take forever to warm up and are a pain to start in the winter, and any fuel savings is more than mitigated by the periodic DPF burns an the DEF you have to feed it. If you don’t need the low end grunt you’re much better off with a gas job, an I…

Nice Scout! Do you find the low mount on the winch and the row hook gets in the way? I had something like that on my old Ram and it wound up eating the side of whatever ditch I would cross.

I do believe one of the driving factors for boxy ara was CFD an computerised design. For most of that time period, manufacturers were unable to use 3d airflow modelling, and this simplified the designs to make them able to use a 2d approximation. You can also see that in race car designs of the 70s and 80s.

I have a couple years o running service trucks now, an from experience in my local jurisdiction, (OH&S rules are state/provincial jurisdictions) the guy could have put out more cones, but wasn’t requires to. The cones are largely there to delimit your work area, the big truck with bright yellow lights is what really…
