There's nothing cooler then driving a huge badass truck.

I'm snacking on fetuses, running over women and children, burning fossil fuels and shit.

In the market for a black enclosed 7 x 14 dual axle trailer if anyone has one

Why so big?

We comfortably raced three people / bikes, plus a pit scooter, giant tent, 2 generators, etc. out of an 8 x16.

For one or two people, get a 6 x 12 V-nose. You'll save money and have 1/2 the axles / tires to deal with.

Plus, you won't believe the MPG difference between a V and flat front trailer.

I believe it's proper name is a Freight Train. Or a Harley with less accesories and less weight.

But funny you mention that. I have a 1998 Chevy 1500 extended cab. My girlfriend goes to Emory here in Midtown Atlanta which is in yuppie land. A big vehicle there is a Volvo station wagon. Trying to find our way around Atlanta to head to a park for Easter we found a parking garage but I found it too late. I said to her "Fuck it I'm in an old truck so they'll stop". Well after I made a comment about women drivers not paying attention. Anyways from a stop I start my way over and basically forced my way through. People didn't do shit! Basically their BMW/Volvo/Mercedes/etc didn't stand a chance. As long as I didn't nail a law student.

Then people where stuck in traffic cause they wanted to avoid the metal plates and super big potholes which forced them in the left lane. I rolled by the bumper to bumper doing 45mph bouncing around and not giving a shit.

Trucks for the mother fucking god damn son of a bitch shit fuck damn win.

Love the Tundras. They are just fucking badass trucks. They make your penis grow too.
