stopped at the gas station yesterday to get a beverage- couldn't believe the truck I saw sitting there. I wanted to take pics but the driver was already getting enough attention.
Looked like an early 80s Chevy single cab truck. Tailgate was down, since the gas tank was in the truck bed. Right next to gigantic NOS bottle. Wheelie bars at the back, with what looked like 14" wide tires . MASSIVE blower sticking out of the hood. Rollcage went from the truck bed, through the rear cab windows (pretty sure they were lexan) and into the cab. 3 racing seats inside, all reupholstered to match the original maroon interior. This thing looked soooo mean and soooo clean.

Not drinking any beer/alcohol in September. Good for the bod, good for the wallet, good for my functional alcoholism.
Why? Not that it's a bad thing, just curious.
I'm slightly exagerating with the beer. I mean, I will be consuming everyday from thursday-sunday, but only sunday will involve over consumption. A dozen guys playing 18 holes for a friend's birthday. And wifey is my DD
I'm sure if he mashed the pedal, he'd break a few laws along the way. Otherwise, it *looked* street legal. I didn't catch what tires he was rolling on (I think slicks are illegal for road use), but, nothing illegal with having a ton of go fast parts otherwise. At least not here. OIL!! 'BURTA!! TRUCKS!!
I'm surprised the mayor didn't show up and give him a medal

Why what? Exactly for the reasons I posted above. Good for the bod, good for the wallet, good to keep my alcoholism in check*.
Every once in a while I realize I don't "want" to drink, I "need" to drink. I don't like depending on any substance to feel good, know what I mean? When all you think about at 10am is to crack open a beer at 5 once you get home, it can't be good.

Wheelie bars are kind of a grey area here, they're not illegal, they're somewhat tolerated but I know it's always a burden with the cops. You have to have a red flag on them as they stick out and pretty low at that so it could be dangerous. As long as you have headlights/taillights and you aren't on slicks otherwise I think it's fine.

Bah, pussay!
Crack that first beer at 10 when you start thinking about it. Then drink till 5. At 5, start again.
lol, yes, that I can understand. But hey, sometimes a crappy day at work makes you think about booze, lol.
Wifey was having a major crappy day at work the other day. She emailed me this at 10:30:
Oh for sure. I still didn't drink much during the week, but the weekends I had to have alcohol in me at some point. All in all, just doesn't sound like healthy behavior both physically and mentally. I'm not quitting drinking like my father did, I know I'm an alcoholic and I expect to keep it in check. If I see I can't then I'll quit.

Hmmm.. interesting. I'm curious to know if the bars are illegal here now. Are they adjustable/extendable? You could definitely see them underneath the truck, but they weren't extending outwards much. I just figured he was in "street" mode instead of "drag" mode.
Everything else looked legit about the truck, but like I said, I didnt see what tires he was riding on.

Honestly, starting Oct 1st I'm likely going to stop drinking for a bit also. Life will return back to normal by then and I'm going to start hitting the gym again. So excited. It's been much too long.
Hopefully get the TL fixed at some point in there also

They're not adjustable lengthwise but they can be adjustable for stiffness. I saw a VW Jetta with a traction bar once that stuck out like 5-6 foot out of the car at Timmies drive through.

Carry on. I'll be in the parking lot drinking mouthwash.

I wish every day had 30 hours in it...
Yeah summer doesn't help the drinking and partying.

Wait, what? A FWD Jetta had wheelie bars out the back? Wtf...
Edit: just googled. Wow. Things I've never come across before. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Yeah for traction. As opposed to RWD cars that have wheelie bars with a slight gap so the car can lift, FWD cars usually have bars that are flush to the car. The bar stops the car from rocking back and mitigates wheel hop by trying to keep them planted as much as possible.
It's crazy what some of the people do with FWD cars considering it's not an ideal platform at all to put down a lot of power to the road... eee eee eee eee til 3rd gear haha
Monday evening, grabs one of them rotisserie chickens from the grocery (eh?, )
Bring that yardbird home and start on some sides.
Bake up about a pound of fresh asparagus in the oven.
Just a little bit of olive oil (extra virgin, of course), some fresh crushed garlic, and a dash of salt (mah blood pressuhs).
Eat chicken (just the breast ) and half a pound of asparagus.
Scene fades to black.
Fade from black, it's at the office on Tuesday.
Staying hydrated because pushing a mouse around and clickclacking the keyboard is serious business.
Pissin like every 45 minutes.
Every time for like 9 hours, it reeks to high heaven of asparapiss.
Don't bother flushing because of the drought - we all do our part!
(chuckle silently at olfactory torturing the cow-orkers)
