OMFG!!! LMFAO!!! buff a piece of aluminum and glue it??!!! :shocked2:

Hey Eddie on the shiny shirt.....uh no. No shiny shirts for me. I'm covered. See you there. As far as tonight goes..I might not make it to HotRod Grill till about 10 ish. Anna & I gotta go look at a toyhauler in Pahrump! :shocked2: It might be worth it though- see you guys and gals there when Duniemonkie & I get back.

We are referring to the sandrail market as a whole these days. 10K is by far not a cheap price tag to me either, but as a whole it is cheap compared to a 50 or 60K car. Sandrails have come a long way and it's crazy how many high dollar rails are out there in the dunes. :angry:

Hey JJ, just so ya know...that FS3400 has only about 16ft to the first cabinet. It has almost 20 ft of cargo, but that's to the sink. Check it out.... I am thinking of getting a 34ft Forest River Sandpiper Sport. (It's actually a 35ft 4" box) Check that one- I like the floor plan much better. I think it has a foot or so more cargo as well.

My Thirsty Thursday will be at Rain in the Palms. I have tickets for the Puddle of Mudd/ Adam Corrolla Show. I am up for a Wasted Wednesday tonight though if anyone is interested....? :angry: Tonight, a few of us will probably go to Hot Rod Grill again. You in?

Yeah, WTF? Why is all your chit in his avatar, Todd?

Count me in I am thinking of mayyyyybe having a couple that night. :angry:

:angry:

Nick I know what you're saying, but the same can happen to someone who has a $10K rail and a $50K rail. Remember this story...?

Uh..no. I'll disagree w/ that. Steve isn't gonna get over confident w/ the car. He has driven my car and did damn well. He is extremely cautious and I think if he bought a cheaper car like Sand~~Snake's, he'd want to step up in no time flat. Why waste time w/ a car like that when he has his eye on something he knows he wants like a LONG travel. Should I have settled for a standard travel VW car when I bought my car??.....no. I had never driven in the dunes EVER before I bought my car and am extremely glad I purchased the car I did rather than starting cheap. I would have probably gotten extremely bored w/ a car like your're talking about as I already know Steve will too. In my opinion, you don't need a "cheaper" car to learn how to drive in the dunes. Trust me, I know you don't need a high dollar car either to have fun, but Steve knows what he wants. That's all.

think again, Nick :mc_smiley: Did you ever think as a first car, it may get MORE abuse as he may be on the gas & brakes more requiring MORE shifting rather than a faster paced driving style which is actually easier on drivetrain. Just my .02

That's when I am leaving, Terry. :mc_smiley: Thursday...ASAP!

:mc_smiley:

uh..none? :mc_smiley:

:mc_smiley: Looks like some serious fun! :headbang:

That might be an excpetion though, Nick. I think anyone could tow w/ that truck w/ their eyes closed. :mc_smiley: That thing almost drives itself. Towing w/ an SUV is a lil more difficult at times. I know from towing w/ my Tahoe.

Well, come on Rich...hurry up...she has 11 days to learn!!!

Mac salad and baked beans sounds good to me

can't have any??? how come?

Yeah, most trucks nowadays have the tow haul mode. It definitley helps out w/ towing. It eliminates the whole hunting for a gear and also helps a bunch when going down a hill w/ a big load. I personally would stay away from a manual trans, but that's just my .02. I'd go big if I were you. If you don't- it will just be a pain in the a$$ to get everything loaded (like me every damn trip ). Even if you don't need it- extra space is always nice to have. Good luck w/ your decision.

Yep, that chit pisses me off too, Dave. I try and keep an eye out as much as possible for kids playing along the tops of the dunes when I go blasting down the dune, but if they weren't there in the first place there wouldn't be any danger of getting hit in the first place. I personally think that the finger dune is no place for kids to play on. Maybe at the bottom of it, but not on top. If you have kids I would expect you to realize that people will be riding across the top of the finger and that isn't a safe place for a kid. It's also dangerous when two idiots on opposite sides of the finger decide to tape off the dune on both sides. Then when you go driving down the dune in a sandrail or if you come up on someone coming the other way, there almost isn't any room for you to safely pass through. Sometimes people even use rebar to stake off the tops- now that's dangerous.

I am thinking of also maybe bringing a couple beers that weekend.

Terry, he is Matt from S&M Motorsports on Boulder Hwy. 565-4193

finally got some pics off my phone from last Thurs ... wounded dolphins at their finest!! This was from after breakfast on Sunday. Doug (budsponge) had waaay too many shots of Jack along w/ some tall Buds, hence the name budsponge
