Who needs a ridgeline

when you got a sandrail...

hotlinked with pride

Lighten up people....

Except I don't know if I could make one road legal in Virginia. Besides, my Miata has taken a queen sized mattress, china cabinet, large desk, and many other things around the area. Webpage that some of the pics are hosted at seems to be down, so I sadly cannot hotlink them.

Don't have a picture but plantiff #1,our daughter, & I had a great time traveling through the wilds of northern Orange County NC during a snow storm & finding a Christmas tree & taking it home (with the top down) in a '64 Corvair convertible I once had. She got the car when we split up.

That your EGT in the background? Looks pretty minty. Also, wife and I regularly have contests to see whos car can fit more stuff. I'm currently winning with two sets of wheels, a full tool box, 4 jackstands, a 3 toon floor jack, detailing equipment, and assorted sundries. She also drives a Mini Cooper.

I'm diggin the Splitty in the garage.

I saw that too.... but for some reason those EGT's draw me in. I will own a boosted one.... some day.

I got to be "that guy" tonight. 24' long bars of DOM hanging out of an 8' bed.

That's nothing I'd haul full pallets of grass in the back of my Sidekick. I even hauled a refrigerator in it.

I have seen a photo of 40' I beams being transported by a 1966 chevy 4x4 pick up, the beams were chained under the axles. My friends moved 8-9 of these 15 miles down dirt roads. They said corners were interesting

I can't think of a single good reason why I shouldn't be driving something like that.

Four engines and a bunch of other parts in the back of my Passat. The missing heads and manifolds are all in the trunk. I've also hauled all my earthly belongings in this car with a small U-haul trailer behind it. I've also hauled 4'x8' sheets of plywood in my 944, but unfortunately have no pictures of that debacle.

^^ This guy says you could do better. ^^

I've always been fond of this one:

I've always thought the cage of a buggy would be perfect for strappin' junk to. I was thinking luggage, but whatev.

Also, that's the first time I've seen one of those cloth skirts. Weatherproof. I like it.

My back hurts just thinking about lifting those engines out of the back seat floor.

How much was that Sand rail?

References to the Ridgeline "suckiness" are already almost as played out as "hotlinked" comments..

is it possible to make on of those roadlegal?

Yeah, it kinda sucked.

I personally saw two guys in Taiwan, riding two motor scooters, each guy carrying one end of a 20 foot stepladder.

It was interesting to watch them thread their way through traffic.

Looks a helluva lot like an Atom frame to me.... probably liscense one as a kit car fairly easily, assuming all the neccesary lighting/etc is present.

depends on where you live. Looks difficult to be done here in CA

I thought in Cali you could SB100 almost ANYTHING

Down here in GA, you can see them on the road pretty often. Apparently some states are more lenient than others when it comes to stuff like this.

That's the first one I've seen with a skirt, too.

Back in the 80s, a friend of mine took the 455 FWD engine out of an old Toranado, welded the steering straight, and mounted it in the back of a brush buggy similar to that one.

It had one critical design flaw: the driver couldn't use the gas pedal and the steering wheel at the same time.. but it would do wheelies like nobodies business!

Awesome to behold, impossible to drive.

Back in the 70's I put that same drivetrain in the back of a model T pickup truck. I then had to put a 327 chevy in the front just to keep the front end on the ground! I turned the headers up side down so they stuck up above the engine like a boat, and stuck collector mufflers on them. It was sweet.
