Looks like a pickup getting fawked up the @ss by a spaceship.

And not a new high tec spaceship.

One of those low budget creations from a 1970's space film.

Or......

A garbage truck with windows.

I can’t decide.

Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
No thanks. The carbon fiber construction, I don’t have a problem with. It’s lightweight and strong. I’d prefer that instead of fiberglass shell. The shape, however, does not appeal to me at all.

Now that you mention it, it does look like a garbage truck.



First you buy a minivan, now you want a 20,000lb deluxe luxury off-road camper with a built in vacuum cleaner.

to run around on & enjoy all that luxury!

What?!?!???

  • 24" Drawer Microwave/ Convection Oven/ Air Fryer Combo with Wifi
Why does that need wifi?

By the way... an air fryer IS a convection oven. Just a new term for an old device to make it appeal to millennial. Similar to "helpful hints" and "useful tips and tricks" now being called "hacks".

100 acres isn't very big, about 2080' x 2080'

640 acres is only 1 mile x 1 mile square

To me, that rig is a useful as a Unimog camper. Sure, it looks cool but how much real off roading are you going to do with that monster? Most of the trails I've seen, that thing would never fit. Sure, you can get up the access trail to the real trails but that would be about it.
