    I tried to help someone once with a Sonata. No tow hooks. No bumper knock-out for them either. I told him sorry, but I wasn't going to try to attach to anything else because I couldn't figure a spot out that wouldn't cause damage.

    The real problem is these machines are all run by volunteers. Some of the operators are real equpiment operators for their day jobs, but the majority are just dumbasses that were taught how to drive a skid steer on a Saturday afternoon. They break shit all the time due to ignorance and inexperience. I know because I was one of them.

    Yeah I never understood the mountain sleds around here. They look awesome though!
    When my truck is covered in salt it looks like shit. So what you’re saying is that your white truck looks like shit all the time?!
    Once my frame is fixed I'm going to get these two items...

    I was doing pretty good last night in the truck. I was driving double trailers 20k and 14k of freight inside (not the weight of the trailers or anything else) and I was getting right around 7MPG.

    I want to get one of those wands too. I wouldn't have used it last night since I have fluid film on there. My garage bib is still wet so I could have hooked up the pressure washer, I wouldn't put it past me - but it is kinda cold out :(

    Shit that reminds me I get to go home and clear the driveway. Fun stuff. :| at least I have a snow blower, I wonder if that will do good this time around!

    The snow is light and fluffy (around here) so it should do great

    I was thinking about the same pressure washer this spring. Didn't know the broom existed.

    It’s just salt water brine. What do you think is spraying all over truck when you drive down a wet highway that’s been salted?

    did you see any of their Tokyo Drift plows? Those things freak me out.

    I wish I could know how to use my dash cam more better! I got onto the I90 at Love's after gassing up and got on behind one of these things. I was not expecting it to move as quick as it did, those things swing out fast.

    The plows and salters I came across last night were sometimes going below 25mph

    I didn't see any of those last night. They should have been using them though. It was the worst before and just after Syracuse.

    Nope, truck is a lovely, clean shade of white year round. It just gets more matte white in the winter time and the wheels start to color match.
    I didn't know they had those in Albany, neat.

    I was up in Canjo right when it started, I saw one of them going from Love's near Albany out toward mass, but that was it.

    Hey anyway I saw a post but I've been on time out, you getting your frame done!?

    What happened? Someone put the box up too high and you can’t reach it?
