What innovation and utilty…ship him to Detroit! He could teach them a think or two, definitely adds to the local color!

I am digging the manly utility, but why is it painted like a banana ?

I like yellow!
I toyed with the notion of painting it MC Olive Drab, and even camofluage..But, deep down, I like yellow.
Since it’s yellow, I also played with putting “Short Bus” on the rear in graphics. Since I’m in business, the latter was probably going to get me in hot water some day with a client, so I scratched that idea.
You’d love the yellow double axle trailer that matches the truck, huh?
With the incidence of people missing the bright color, as well as the monstrous presence of the vehicle, and pulling out in front of it anyway…I finally added a locomotive air horn to “help” them see it.

And - how old are you, Bulletproof Monk???
Hope old enough to have a driver’s license.

Whoa, cool! An air horn is just what my truck is missing

from an actual deisel locomotive!!
And Lovisa…if you ever stop having actual fun, just wallow off somewhere and die, mmkay??
I plan on having a fun-filled life, and amusing myself for a very long time.Having folks roll thier eyes at this contraption is just part of that fun.

It’s fun to have fun.
It’s your expressions like “the monstrous presence of the vehicle” and “…air horn to help “them” see it” that bother me.
You sound is if you feel you have to show off your might on the road. Another sign of wanting to show off is, of course, the color.
What do you want for Christmas? A turret with a machine gun, per chance? That would really top it off, wouldn’t it? You monstrous presence would be even more monstrous.

Lovisa:
The size of Monksters truck is so he can run over your Prius. The Yellow color is so you will tell the police it was a school bus.

When the guy in front of me is weaving in the lane and periodically slowing down to 18 mph in a 40 mph mile zone because he is talking on his cell phone, then it is absolutely time to show off my “might” on the road. Which is why I must have a locomotive air horn and have begun the search already.

LOL - Yes, really. - You’re right, the yellow WOULD be confusing.
No Prius for me, though. Smaller. VW bug!
Terrible mph for its size, but I love VW bugs. Wish mine were yellow!

The air horn definitely gets their attention while soiling their britches! I think that you should have a grapple plate up front on hydraulics. That way, when you are at a light with a “slow mover” in front of you, you drop the plate over their bumper, wait for the light to change and “toot” the air horn. They tromp the gas and….voila!…instant road scrap!

Lovisa, you certainly do get to the crux of the matter sometime. See that black rectangle on the hood of Monk’s vehicle? Could it be covering the lower part of the swivel mechanism for a remote-controlled .30 cal mg? But, nah, that must be where the diesel horn would be installed. Whatever the case, looks like Loudoun has its own equivalent of the “Rat Patrol”!!! (Lovisa, don’t tell me you are too young to remember the “Rat Patrol.” That would truly be a hurtful jab!)

No, not too young. I remember it well.

To tell you the truth, there was a rather impatient driver of a red dodge who tried to pass me on the left, on a solid yellow line, as I was making a left turn into a driveway out here last week. (I had my turn signal on, but evidently he couldn’t see it because he was probably beside me as I engaged it). The hubs on the Ton and a quarter rearend ATE his front wheel. His aluminum wheel was SHREDDED by the trucks axle hub.
I have a one inch scratch in my paint. His insurance is paying out $400 for the damage to my vehicle’s one inch paint loss.
AND he had to put on one of those ridiculous looking donuts to limp his non-driving ass to retrieve a real replacement.

“What do you want for Christmas? A turret with a machine gun, per chance?”
Hmmmm. Possibilities.
