[QUOTE=Lerlth;49571601]Did you make a video of a Dodge Rampage DC?[/QUOTE] Yep, if I remember correctly it ran like shit! Got a link?

[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;49572048]Yep, if I remember correctly it ran like shit! Got a link?[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;SLPjikCezRE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLPjikCezRE[/video] Sounds like shit too. Haha. I was just wondering what all happened to the thing, or where it even came from.

It was my great grandpas, it was outback and abandoned so I got it going. Ran like a top! (When it didnt have a fuel line leak like in the vid), it didn't have a single rust-free panel and was a mouse ridden shit house. It was one of 258 total DC rampages, even less were canadian, and even less were probably left so it hurt to sell it. It went to a 16 year old kid who was gonna make a race car outta it and thats the last I heard. I still have the "Special Order: Direct Connection" plate that was in the engine compartment.

My dad had a rampage when i was a kid and i loved it.

Welp. Got laid off today. Bummer. Oh well. Time to work on cars!

Welcome to the club! My contract ends in a week and a half :C

[url]http://turtleexpedition.com/adventures/russia/introduction-2/[/url] I read through this today, these crazy white people drove a 92 f350 with a pop-up truck camper all the way through Siberia and Russia coast to coast. In the winter. in -80 F. One hell of a read, if youre interested. Russian truckers are insane badasses. [editline]20th January 2016[/editline] one of the russian truckers sat in his idling truck on the side of the road for [i]eight days[/i] because his clutch went out. [editline]20th January 2016[/editline] Oh hell fuckin yeah I found a 59 chevy grain truck on craigslist that the seller is willing to part out. He says its got the electric two speed rear end and it shifts fine. This could be the new lease on life the bus has been waiting for.

[QUOTE=Aetna;49559083]Yesterday I watched with teary eyes as my fat ugly beast thumped its way into the sunset, bellowing smoke beyond 4500 rpm as always, leaving behind naught but a drop of oil.

Welp, it's Snowpocalypse Now outside, and in three hours we've gotten 3-1/2" of snow. And on bald tires, it's an absolute shit-tonne of fun outside in the Charger. Had two cops pull up to me (my back is coated with snow from the road which hides the AWD badging) and ask how I was able to drive so easily in the snow.

[QUOTE=Aetna;49577159]Well, this didn't last long.... pics to come this evening! Found me a fuckin' time machine, seriously.[/QUOTE] Picked me up a 1982 Yamaha Virago XV750J with 21,000 miles. His asking price was $1500 - already low, in my book, and he accepted my offer of $1,300. Original owner, garaged its whole life, and babied when ridden by a retired air force pilot. His nephew, who handled the sale, is exclusively a Yamaha on/off road mechanic and has seen all its scheduled maintenance intervals were completed on time, which he handed to me during the sale. After I shook his hand and told him I wanted the bike, he told me to come back the next day and he'd have the title and everything ready. What that meant was that he removed and sonic dipped the carbs, synchronized them, replaced the air filter, spark plugs, and checked the tire pressure. He also handed me a new Yuasa battery on his shop's dime, with the simple request I pick up some battery acid on my way over. So for $1,300, I have me an extremely clean, reliable, and absolutely beautiful 750. Thank you universe for giving me a Craigslist sale that WASN'T complete bullshit. She still needs the brakes bled and new pads (already on order), but aside from that I can't think of a single mechanical job that needs done. Crazy to think I sold the KLR for $1,300... and bought this 2 days later for the same price. Comeup!

I love me some 80s jap cruisers.[/QUOTE] Thanks dude, I can't wait to get it registered today so I can really break it in. I rode it from the shop I bought it from to a nearby viewpoint for those pics, then immediately took it home before the po noticed the 2014 non-op tags on it. Can't believe I got it for the price I did. And good god, NO MORE CHAIN MAINTENANCE.

Welcome to the shaft drive master race. May your torque be instant, and your gear oil never leak.
