    Generally a longer frame (wheel base) rides much smoother, Bbut it is mostly for looks.

    Notice how the wheelbase is longer than a regular carriage

    My son saved like crazy his first year in business. He's great with money, but young. I told him several times he needed a good accountant, but he didn't listen that first year.

    Wrote the tax man a 37k$ check that next April.

    He has lots of cool tools now. He's learning.

    Money spent on a truck is usually money well spent

    Dude, I already said that. It's your (or theirs) money, do what you want with it.
    My only points were:
    1. It looks stupid and impractical.
    2. It's a waste of money and time.

    It's my OPINION. It's not a value judgment. It's kinda like the douchbags that wear flip flops (or high heels as the case may be), dude, it's your life and your feet, I don't really care, but I still think it's stupid. And that's my OPINION.
    But, at the end of the day, I'll roll on, and so will you (presumably).

    I would’ve rather spent money on my old cabover last year instead of mailing a total of $44k to the KGB, but such is life when shops are booked out a couple years.

    Probably what it is, Something similar hit me at 72 and I have noticed a lot of changes in my thinking since..
    BUT..
    Better we grow old with a sense of humor, Than grow old with no sense at all...
