The Indian culture such as the great warrior, Crazy Horse, believed in lying their deceased on scaffolds, wrapping them in buffalo blankets. There to be exposed to the elements and delivered over a year or two back to nature. Then to come back as buffalo grass, and eaten by the buffaloes, which would be eaten by the Sioux, thus completing the cycle. Versus the Anglo belief of burial in a metal casket preventing breakdowns over a longer time. I got this from Stephen Ambrose book of Custer and Crazy Horse.

^^^^^^THAT^^ is a great idea!!!

I'm not a "semi" guy. I think I went through a period when I was a kid where I thought semis were cool. I think a lot of kids go through a phase like that. I saw a semi a couple of days ago, that fanned the flames some. It was customized and pretty darn cool. I didn't get a pic (too busy looking to think about a pic), but it had some of the same elements as these like the very fitted, full fenders for the rear tires, and the super "clean" (seemed extra long) chassis between the cab and the back. I was getting some BBQ at a place on I10 outside of Houston when I saw this crazy, cool looking thing leaving so I got a good look.
The rear fenders were kind of like the fenders on the rear of this one

And the frame between the cab and rear was like this, looked weirdly thin and just the frame (presumably, stuff hidden between the rails).

The one that I saw was mostly white with red accents. I think the cab was mostly white with a red stripe and some accents and the frame was red. It was very sharp. Afterwards I wished I'd been able to give the guy a big thumbs up or something.

The weird thing is that it almost looks superimposed. Maybe it's a double exposure or something.
