Yo JD, if a riding mower was good enough for George Jones its good enough for me LOL. Check out Hio's boogie machine, I'd run it up to the grocery store just to make a statement. Ride ons rule ha ha.

When the neighbor gets back from Ontario hes going through my "parts" and his kid gets a go cart. Myself, I've been looking for a ride on to move motors and other crap around. Used a 20hp craftsman to move RV trailers in and out of the trailer lot, suckers can pull 36' units, had swing out mirrors that were 7' apart when swung out. This was about 28 years ago. It would have qualified for this thread except that it was a useful stupid looking feature.
I wonder how much the guy paid for the spoke wheels that colapsed on him, should have invested in crack instead, it would have served him better.
Our stupid person races his rice rocket from 44th to 48th. If he hits a pro or junkie we'll cheer him on but the good citizens from the good hoods will hunt him down as bad as the cops will.

In Alberta they have started ticketing people for leaving there hitch in the receiver. The insurance companies are starting to go after the cost of extra damage done if you have a hitch in place and some idiot rearends you.
This seems like all they are going after. 9 out of 10 trucks have mods done to them that are against the law. I seen a guy the other day that had red signal light on the front, that won't cause confusion!

I can see warning for that but not ticketing, doesn't seem fair for the 90% that have no clue.. I dont ride with mine if I can help it. The right hit can cause severe damage because of the extra leverage of the hitch
Ticketing should be enforced on these idiots with the HD blue headlights and the blue fog lights.. somehow these inbreds around here get away with it

Both Darrin and Sig down the block have front end damage on their F150s, it'll cost them each between $1500 -$1800 to fix their trucks. Dont think its right that they should pay the price for someone's lack of courtesy to not take out their ball hitches out. Both trucks were damaged in a parking lot. Kevin has probably heard about ladders, chairs,couches, fridges and many other things on Deerfoot trail. You should see all the unmarked contractors trucks around here with nothing tied down or things hanging off of them and they all have personnal use plates and insurance. Come 4 pm their to drunk to work so they smoke a joint, buy more beer and drive home. Theres 3 to 4 of them parked in front of Kens place everyday. All the cars on this street have bumper damage with 1 exception, my truck.

Driver was drunk, personnal use only insurance- truck not used for work or to haul work related tools or product. Absolutely no charges according to his insurance company, I contacted them 7 weeks after accident to let them know their check cleared and to find out if he was charged with anything, agent in charge of his file said no. The police here have a policy, if your a drunk or stoned red neck white boy, your immune from committing any crimes, your always innocent it's the victim that's guilty. This results in a decrease in the crime rate which means we're the safest city in Canada and our mayor is the best mayor on the planet, literally, google it Mayors name is Nenshi.
