Welcome to the IHoP

I hated driving my friends GMC 1500 extended cab with an 6/4 lift on 22's with 33 AT tires through traffic...but damn did that truck look good.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bigger trucks are easy to take through traffic. The trick is remembering that you're bigger than they are, far more intimidating, and most likely their vehicle is going to be more expensive to fix.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't know about easier, the M slices through while my truck just gets everyone out of the way. If I want to be an arse, I'd actually rather do it in the M. The gas pedal helps lots when negotiating small spaces, brakes too.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bah , the sight of my big arse stuffed up in that little chit box tracker. Is enough to make most people get out of my way

PS, If you know how to mudd and where to drive towards you dont get stuck hardly ever.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Actually that means you aren't going big enough, unless you call winching not getting stuck.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Pretty much the way it works around here . If you don't get stuck. Your not muddin' . Had the chit box all the way up to the windshield with water and mud before. Surprisingly it didn't bother it in the least.

When I worked at Trans Tech, we had one of those HUGE mining dump trucks that they hand crafted into a crane and earth mover.  I got to drive it around the yard a couple times.  Pretty scary when you consider you can squash anything you want.  I think the tires were something like 10-12 ft. high.

I have done some consulting with Caterpillar and Komatsu. At Komatsu they let me stand inside one of their shock absorber shells. I had room over my head too.

I should have pursued the US college route with hockey rather than through the junior leagues.

Do they draft hockey players and allow them to still play in college ?

Yes.

Got to love a sport where not only can you drink alcohol, and still participate. Decent looking women bring you the beer in the middle of the course

what did you shoot?

[ramos 2]

These three friends went on vacation together. To save money, they decided to sleep two to a room. No one wanted to room with Daryl because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept with Daryl and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you?" He said, "Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."

The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing -- hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!" He said, "Man, that Daryl shakes the roof. I just watched him all night."

The third night was Frank's turn. Frank was a big burly ex-football player; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed. "Good morning," He said.

They couldn't believe it! They said, "Man, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed and kissed him good night. He sat up and watched me all night long."

A girl came skipping home from school one day. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled. "We were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde," her mother replied.

The next day, the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" Yes, pumpkin, it's because you're blonde."

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "No... it's because you're 25."

Step foot on a junior hockey league ice surface, and kiss your eligibility away. You can get drafted though... just can't sign a contract, or have any money trade hands in doing so (which I am sure you know).

I've been wondering, exactly how much pressure can be generated in a subwoofer box (in PSI please).

alot??

lol, i'm sure it's been measured before, i'm certian of it...time for google...lol..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

180db = 20000Pascal = 2.9PSI

But it isn't the pressure that causes problems but the dynamic pressure changing. To give you an idea, Boeing uses 180-185db to mechanically stress metal to failure. This is the reason HT guys really build the piss out of their enclosures so that the energy built in the box causes no coloration or resonant energy to be added to the signal.

We need to do that sometime Aaron . There's a very nice 9 hole municipal course about 15 minutes from Daves in Blacksburg. Pretty cheap to ride 18

Sort of like bowling, except there the women are either cute and illegal or really gross.

Yep, just like baseball . Can be drafted and still be eligable for ncaa. But can't accept money without losing eligability

Good clarification, for us MN'tans it is real typical to be drafted early in college and to finish out your career.

Oh come up my way and we can bypass the splash and go. I've pretty much never been out and not gotten stuck, in fact I consider that the goal and I don't mean by doing something gay like stop moving in a mudhole either.

Until the nazi communist wealth of virginia closes it off ( probably will soon ) we hav a public access fire trail in the national forest, that crosses a couple creeks . Not much mud, but still kind of fun to run threw a creek every now and then
