Man I miss mine.
You know it's still sitting there.
Really?
I just talked to him about it before I bought the Dakota. He doesn't have time so it would still need paint and reassembly...and whatever else
My wife made me this a long time ago.
Interesting truck, any idea who made it?
Found the source of my braking vibration in my Ranger.
Pulled over to snap this Saturday night
Before and After

That almost looks like a BMW Isetta or a KR200 Meschermitt made into a truck with boat parts. I gotta know too.

Worked for a guy back in the 90s who tracked a black Milano with a built 3.1 liter, and converted to outboard brakes for exhaust clearance over the axles. It was black on black. I called it the ugly Italian Jetta. Very fast.
not that car.
In reply to GIRTHQUAKE :
Found this-
This funny tow truck was built for the Bynum-Stephens Motor Co., a Pontiac dealership located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. They used a 1935 Ford truck chassis and a Lincoln V-8 engine. It was used during the 30's and 40's

Good job! (if he had the flaps up would that have kept the nose higher?)
In reply to 914Driver :
Yes, it would mean higher AOA, but it also means he would have hit the water at higher velocity. I'd have gone for minimum airspeed too. The moment anything touched the water it was all going to slap down anyway.

There is something rattling around in my head regarding airports and abandoned luggage.....
Are any of them ticking? More distressing is that something appears to be leaking!

I thought those exact same things. I also though it wasn't a great idea to emphasize beat up suitcases to people about to hand their own over to the tender loving care of the baggage handling system.
How about holding up the roof in earthquake country at SMF (Sacramento International Airport).
