Keystone State Thread

Well HHG is butthurt. Also selling his truck.

 

Open forum, can say what I want?

 

Not really. I honestly don’t care enough about the opinions or advice from most on here.

I’ll take it with a grain of salt since it’s coming from the guy who thought it would be smarter to modify the tongue of my trailer rather than just get a longer drop hitch.

And fuck it. I’ll just throw it in the scrap bin at work. My bad for trying to maybe help someone out on here first.

 

Actually I felt it would be more amusing, not necessarily smarter.

 

Anyone have any need for Deere 100 (specifically a 170) series parts? motor grenad-ed - stripped down to pieces. Any interest before scrap trip?

 

It seems like it's actually getting worse around Pittsburgh; morning and evening rush hour is just unbearable.
The other people you have to watch out for are the goofballs who use exit/merge lanes to jump the line, then cut back in at the very end. They just got ahead in traffic by 10 car spaces and pissed off like 25 people, lol.

 

The 376/79 split in the morning and evening were quite an adventure. I was literally less than 10 miles from my hotel to our destination on Neville Island, it would take me 30-45 minutes sometimes. Getting from 79 to 376 and then to the Turnpike was quite a feat Friday afternoon, especially in a worn out E350 work van with a work body and 300,000 miles. Ugh, I don't miss that at all!

 

Yep, the dreaded 79 cloverleaf. It seems to be one of the worst sections of Pittsburgh's infrastructure.

To quote Weird Al Yankovic: "I left home five hours ago and I can still see my house from here."

 

Although I'll take that section of Pitt anyday over driving in Philly. Don't know why, but it was always nerve racking driving on 276 at certain times. All three lanes going 80mph weaving in an out to all of a sudden STOP! Or going East at the 76/276 split (toll booths at the 202 junction). Holy shit was that ever a circus. And then there is 476 to 95. Makes me appreciate living in a small town!

 

You guys moving over the border finally?

 

Hopefully, within a year. Going to wait to start any big projects until I’m in my new shop.

 

What's the next offroad rig going to be since you're selling the taco?

 

I cringe every time I leave work and have to sit in rush hour traffic going down basically the entire stretch of 476 to exit 1 right before 95...

 

Correct.

 

I have no idea what yer talkin about,...

However I’ve got somethin to say,..








never mind I forgot what I was gonna say.

 

Ugh, 95. No matter what time of day if you're going between North and South Philly it'll take an hour.

This was my typical view from my old work van, 11:30am headed North...



Lots of travel with that job, definitely made me an ass of a driver in the cities though, lol. Although I couldn't be too bad with the company logo plastered all over, that an the little Transit Connect might have had 120HP at best. Driving it in the mountains here was an interesting experience. Twords the end the transmission was definitely not pleased, I was waiting for the FU moment. At almost 70K it had already had two transmissions. All of our equipment in there we were over weight for the vehicle so....

 

Im good thanks.
