2014 BS and Chat Thread!

[AHineman]

He said you showed up in a minivan, what did you expect?

I didn't want to strap that grill down to the flatbed and fubar it.

You didn't nibble on his ear.

Dang it! That's something I usually do.

[Tacoclaw]

Uh-huh.

The old Dodge could barely handle those hubcaps but I did what needed to be done. Sacrifices were made out of respect to my fellow 1stgenners. The opposite of minivan disrespect.

[AHineman]

Now Levi, don't forget the 2000+mile trip I took out west with old green that included picking you up an RC rear hatch and fuel tank.

You have a twin turbo first gen! I could have confiscated your Man Card on the spot. No one would overturn that ruling!

Uh-huh.

^True story. Your Dodge was dragging azz. Maybe it was the hubcaps, maybe it was an intentional "Tennesee Tilt", I don't know.

But still you stepped up and got the job done with a 1st gen

[AHineman]

Or was it just the fat chick in the passenger seat?


Oh, and as for the man card....you have to turn that in when you get married.

BTDT! I was traveling to a tractor club plow days and lost the grill off the side of the trailer. It was hanging upside down and the guts were gone. I put it back on and kept going, and called my mom on the way. She was going to camp and wandered up and down the side of the interstate for 1/2 and hour and found the grates. It had a little road rash but survived a couple more years.

That's cold She didn't say a word to me the whole time, just hammered away on the old iPhone. Maybe she's mute? If so, Levi scored

[AHineman]

She seems really nice, but one has to wonder what could be wrong with her since she is with Levi.

[bgilbert]

Things I've learned:

Bill is a nice dude to deal with, he had the diff cover pulled for me when I got there to inspect the gears and was seemingly willing to sit there as I disassembled the entire axle to inspect it. Also a nice dude in general, but I don't want to ruin any reputation he may be working on.

Everyone thinks I'm a Dick until they meet me . Just ask Nixon . That's how I buy things, I've gotta tear em apart to inspect em. Just ask Jeff about his starter a few years ago at SOP . It was nice meeting you Levi, no worries on the short chat. Heck I felt I held you up long enough considering all the driving you still have in front of you. You gotta make it to SOP now .

[Tacoclaw]

Heh, I asked her why she didn't get out any while I was chatting with you all, she said she didn't figure I wanted her to. Apparently you guys aren't the only ones who thought I only brought her to prove I wasn't gay.



SOP is gonna be a brutal drive, but hopefully I'll have a Ramcharger to make the drive in. Plenty of room to stretch out, a nice stereo, a place to sleep, hopefully cruise control.

Cruise is sweet.. I looked, Google says SOP is 302 miles for ya, piece of cake! Apparently I picked up one of my 70's trucks 'slightly' near you in Circleville, Oh.

[Tacoclaw]

Hell, that's almost to Columbus! Around these parts, if it's farther than 20 minutes away I consider it a road trip.

I'm hoping the cruise thing works out, I've got the dash harness and computer for it, and I'm waiting for a reply from a guy on RCC who says he has the engine harness. After the pain from this ride, I may just break a broomstick off and jam it between the throttle and the seat.

Speaking of pain, my front driveshaft may not have been the only causality. I noticed the truck was idling lower and lower at every stop. I couldn't see out of mirrors before the Waffle House, and I could barely hold into toe top of the steering wheel about a mile from the house. Dun dun duuuuuuuuuunnnnnn...

[DMan1198]

I checked my map. It's about 3300 kilometres from my place. I still want to go though

[DodgeFreak]

I would love to make it one of these years...hopefully I can get my 77 truck going and drag it along. Wish things would slow down some for me.

[oldestof11]

These damn things are like a lost puppy. You find one and you gotta have it.
