Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't think his monster truck will fit on the beltway, or whatever they call the roadways out there.

Saw someone driving a hummer h2 with about a 1' rise and what looked like 30" wheels.

I think he's allowed to use the HOV lane if he's hauling four or more migrant workers.

I am fairly certain that would look like a Tonka Toy next to his monster truck.

Monster trucks don't haul anything. It's a problem.

You're going to be in NOVA? I have not been to the wall in a few years. I did not know any of the names on the wall, but looking at them without loosing my composure was just about unpossible.

It was pretty easy for me when Spy still worked. I could watch those awesome topics scroll by and just click on them on a whim, insert stupid post, repeat as needed. Now I have to drill down through subforums to find the goods. Uggh, the drudgery.

I heard an auto exec call those never-never trucks; they'll never leave the pavement and they'll never haul anything.
