Nope!All guys need diesel powered, all wheel drive vehicles. Though anything Kaiser or AmGeneral has yet to be matched in the cool factor. When I see "off-roading" vehicles on the road now, I ask myself: "I wonder if that can haul 5 tons, climb a 45.....and do it with McDonalds deep fryer oil..?"
Am I the only one?
... I couldn't work. For two years I didn't have a reason. One day, saw a Deuce on ebay. It was real close and fairly cheap. .... I had a couple extra dollars so I got it and now i have a reason. ..... just have to go real slow. Job not there no more so trucks keep me tinkering and sane.....
Bottom line: they give me a reason to get off my *** and live life not sit around and mope cause i got a ****y deal out of life.
And they won't let me have a helicopter in my back yard..
I recognize those Yooper'sMy kids, and new grandson
This is actually one of the reasons I bought mine. Ive found that having familiar things around related to better times of life is quite comforting. Hence the Deuce, the AR-15's etc etc.
Exactly!! I have a '91 Mustang GT I refurbished (with a "little" extra under the hood). Kids these day drive tuned nitro powered toyota's and the like......you know, with stove pipes for mufflers. I enjoy reminding these import tuners what American Muscle looks like, sounds like......and with them in my rear view mirror...smells like. It's the "sleeper" look that gets them.Nope!
I love it when you pass a full-size dualie going the other way. The guy driving it pretends not to notice - he won't even make eye contact - and you can almost lip-read his girlfriend sitting alongside saying "I thought you told me yours was the biggest truck".
Edit: I must admit that there is a marine (not USMC, marine as in water) analogue of this that I immensely enjoy. I have an old Hydrostream boat - 20', cuddy cabin. It is a very fast boat (104 to 106 mph). I love it when you are out cruising around and you come upon something like a Donzi with a big-block. These are 62 mph boats. I will come up on them at, say, 63 and them ease back to 59 or thereabouts so that the guy is j--u--s--t pulling away. I let him get about a dozen boat lengths ahead, by now he has his chest all puffed out, and then I floor it. My 'Stream literally jumps ahead and by the time (moments later) I am alongside of him (80 mph at this point) the hull goes into ground effect and my boat really takes off. Next thing he knows I am gone-gone-gone and if I had seen him driving like a jerk earlier, he just got rooster-tailed, too. I suppose that some might call this juvenile, but it never gets old (and I rigged this boat in 1987).
