    Not much a fan. Trying to pin onto a trailer and tug test resulted in spinning wheels. Just can't beat the precision of your left leg and a clutch pedal.

    Powerwise, seemed a little low. I was just heading back with an empty 48' tridem. All steel. 13th gear I'd have it matted and it'd hold 100km/h on the short little hills we have out here. See how it does with 50-60k lbs on the deck lol.

    Sometimes people need encouragement to stand up for themselves.One doesn’t know how the person being bullied was raised and if he was even encouraged to stand up for himself or if there was a father figure in his life that taught him to not be a push over.Growing up I was told by my mother that if someone hit us and we didn’t fight back then be prepared to get an ##* whooping from her once we got home so it was an easy choice on what to do_One time I got into a fist fight with the worst bully in elementary school on my way home and I was winning the fight when this older loser that was in high school crouched down behind me unbeknownst to me and the guy I was fighting pushed me and I fell so they both started to kick my ##* on the ground.When my father saw my face he went to the store and got me and my brother mini baseball bats to carry in our backpacks in case any of us got jumped again.I grew up in Miami which is a cultural melting pot and getting into a fistfight in school was a weekly event so I want to mention that the advice of whooping the biggest guy or best fighter will not give you a “nobody will mess with you again” card but instead will open the doors for other people to want to fight you because you are now considered the guy that beat the best fighter and someone else wants that title so that advice has has been spread around forever was said by people that didn’t fight much.

    The two nephews that I mentioned, they are my youngest brother’s kids. The 14 year old got taken out of school because some other kid kept wanting his wiener. I asked his mom if he hit wiener wanter in the mouth and she tells me that he is not like that. Like what??? So they decided to home school him. I didn’t say anything because they have a right to raise their kids with whatever values they see fit, BUT my nephews are harmless. I have 1 more nephew, 17, he’s not harmless, but he’s a neckbeard. Good job, parents!

    Man: what's the difference between a bolt a nail and a screw.

    Blonde: I dunno. I've never been bolted.
