It’s not a whole bunch of bum fuck nothingness out here you know*. We don’t really have any exotic dealerships, but I’ve seen plenty of Super Birds/Daytonas here, along with plenty of Ferraris/Lambos/other exotics. They’re not nearly as common as they might be in other places, and they don’t come out in the winter,…

Fair enough. At some point someone claimed they had the same frames, which as an engineer who designs pickup accessories specifically around said frames, made me have to say something.

The F-150 does not use the same chassis as the Super Duty trucks, not even close, the only thing common about the chassis is where the cab mounts. Outside of that really the only thing that is shared is the cab. 

I have one of these, my uncle was wanting a new mower and told his wife that it wouldn’t go up hills any more (which to be fair the belt does slip a little, in high gears, on steep hills), so I bought it from him, for $100. Best $100 I’ve ever spent. 

Good for you! I’m working on it, I have a few student loans to pay off, and a kiddo on the way, but I should be able to buy a cheap camper soon, and possibly a newer truck if I plan to actually start traveling around like I want to.

Too big. All I need is a pickup, and a mid length toy hauler, done. 

I’d still rather have a trailer. 

This is exactly what I want to do, only I want a slightly larger camper, because toy hauler for my motorcycle and ATV. But otherwise yeah, have a fun place to come back to at night, cook my own meals, but go out during the day and hike/fish/kayak/motorcycle/ATV/etc./etc./etc.

I have no idea what you’re referring to, I didn’t say I wanted a tiny trailer, just don’t want an RV.

Even as a millennial I have this dream, but with a few key differences. 1st I want a pull behind not an RV, because I don’t want to have to drive that monstrosity around if I need to get somewhere. 2. I want to travel and I’m not a huge fan of staying in hotels. 3. The camper would be little more than a place to sleep…

Very likely that they’re so busy pumping out new crew cabs to keep up with demand that the new regular cab is pretty far on the back burner. So better to continue making the old body style regular cab, than to not have a regular cab offering at all. Plus they’re already set up to do it, margins will be bigger, they…

I have been* waiting for this day. Finally I can build the ‘Truckin cover page show truck I dreamed about in high school, with all of the bright pastel tribal graphics, suicide/lambo doors, chrome everything, and billet accessories everywhere. It will obviously be a jelly bean F-150, so the only question that remains…

That style of bike has never really appealed to me, not sure why. I’ve fully embraced big V-twin cruisers, though I still love anything on 2 wheels.

While I agree, I don’t really have much of a choice. Living in rural South Dakota I’m kinda limited in the type of riding I can do. The idea of riding tight curvy roads on a small lightweight, revvy bike sound like absolute bliss to me, but those roads don’t exist where I live, so I buy the right tool for the job, and…

Another millennial here, I agree with the first guy, I really like Harley’s lineup and their bikes are perfect for the kind of riding I do (long straight roads, or gentle curvy roads, nothing sporty or fast), I really want a new one, but they’re so damn expensive, and it’s hard to beat the value of a metric bike,…

I just want an old pickup, something from the 60's or 70's, even a couple 80's trucks are on the list. Regular cab, 2wd, with a manual are the only requirements. Got a bit of student loans to pay off yet, but I should be able to make it happen soon!

True. The way I read it was that the state was mailing out tags at no cost to the person getting the registration, then complaining that the state (as in the government) is spending too much money on postage. I was simply saying that there’s an easy solution to that, charge for the postage. For those who may not want…

If it’s going to get mailed, someone has to pay for it. If you don’t want to pay the postage go get them in person. No idea how California works but here the fee for mailing registration slips is more than what an envelope and stamp costs, so while the state might not be making a lot of money, they’re at least not…

So charge for the postage, in South Dakota you can either go to a kiosk or the courthouse and get your new tags in person, or you can do it online and have them mailed, in which case they charge you extra for the postage. Problem solved.

Yeah I’ve noticed that at lower speeds it tends to work pretty well, which I guess is what’s its intended for, but at higher speeds, especially with hills and wind it hardly ever kicks on.
