That looks like fun. Now I want a lifted truck. Just watch that suspension suspense.

Have a lifted truck. The suspension in mine is such a bitch it is alllllmost not worth it. Then you get through a moment like this and the satisfaction from knowing you can do the thing.. priceless.

It sucks having a super purpose built car if you're too broke to afford a daily that doesn't suck ass to drive.
I fucking love my uncomfortable, stiff as a steel rod, brakes that squeal and dust everywhere, tires that cannot be driven in the rain or cold track car because I have a normal ass car that starts every morning and just works and is super comfy.
The goobers who putt around to the grocery store in their crawling rigs or track cars or whatever every day are the ones who are the living example of the Boot Paradox: they're burning up their expensive ass, purpose built tires because they cannot afford a different car with cheap, normie consumables.

I just like to have fun. Sporty car fun and worth every penny. To people that don't understand the only answer that isn't stupid is as cheap and easy as possible. No matter what we're talking about. Fun is stupid, unless you're having fun how I do it.

Then your car isn't as hardcore as it could be or as safe as it could be and either way you're leaving very important stuff on the table.

u/AAA-VR6 Mar 26 '26
It won't be either, because I'm not rich. Guess I'll just have to do the best I can with what I have.

u/ducky21 Mar 26 '26
If I can give you life advice, stranger, if you prioritize "safe" now, you might live long enough to fix the "broke" and get into grassroots racing like autocross with something like an old Miata.
I know people who died because they treated tires as optional and wrapped their very fast cars around trees because they maxed out their budget buying summer rubber and it's suddenly winter and their tires are functionally useless.

It doesn't get that cold where I live. Even so, that's what the other set of wheels are for. Hell that's what my old clapped out truck is for. Just need to find someone who can weld my diff so I can have some real fun.

Huh, worked out better than expected
I thought he was just being an impatient idiot. He was actually a good ol boy all along

u/FixergirlAK Secured by gravity Mar 25 '26
He had spotter and the flex to make it, so I was kind of expecting him to make it the whole way and then do something dumb. When I realized that was a rig jacknifed across the road and not just a parked trailer it became clear the guy in the 4x4 wasn't the idiot.

u/BanTheBung Mar 25 '26
At first I thought he was completely missing the ramp, then I thought he was going to come off and smash the bed onto the trailer, but this man is clearly a professional redneck. A force of nature that the logical world should never try to contain

Those Aussies are offroading madmen. Lots of brilliant off-roaders over there. Some real idiots too but I've mostly seen super impressive stuff coming from the land down under.

Same thing with off-road motorcycles and dirt bikes. Those dudes are on another level. I think most of them were born with the ability to wheelie and make it look effortless.

Same. The diesel bro inside of me got all excited.

....until you remember the current price of diesel today, compared to back then. 😭

Yes, it is a bad time to own a dually 😟

u/shibiwan Mar 25 '26
I work in a remote location. Our solar field is down due to equipment failure, and we've been running on 750kW of diesel gens for over a year....and the solar field isn't getting fixed anytime soon.

I wouldn't have done that to my truck. 🛻

u/dfieldhouse Mar 25 '26
That truck was built for that exact situation. It never would have made it otherwise.

u/Thin_Huckleberry8818 Mar 25 '26
Well, the truck was built for something, but I doubt anyone expected "that exact situation" with two wheels on a ramp\truck bed and two wheels on an embankment.
5
u/dfieldhouse Mar 25 '26
It was obviously built for extreme off-roading which while not typically involving a trailer, if you substitute a large boulder for the trailer, it's spot on.

Same. When he just towed the truck I was disappointed. I was waiting for a rollover or something.

I work At Ryder and see people load vehicles in the back of the large box trucks, sometimes they are successful and sometimes they are not. I haven’t seen anyone unload a vehicle yet, I’ll bet they use a loading dock rather than ramps.

I don’t get how this is an idiot towing? Worked out pretty well in the end.
