My son was truck shopping on eBay and found this:

This reminds me of something a very wise person once taught me ..

The Opera Theory..
There are things in life like Opera that large numbers of other folks are passionate about which will forever remain totally inconprehensible to the rest of us.

A passion for monster trucks falls in this category for me..It's not that I dislike them; I am just clueless on the attraction .... Cie la vie

Nice teener!

I guess that would count as a 914 sighting?

What's that yellow rollbar looking thing behind the two headrests?

Kent, I noticed that too. Someone made a safety upgrade to a 914? What's next - air bags? Schosh - i relate to your opera theory. My 19 yr old son has been into lowered trucks and I never understood it. Take a perfectly good truck and make it worthless (as far as hauling stuff). But nows he's going the opposite direction. But makes more sense since he's got a new dirt bike and needs a truck to take it out in the desert. But that F350 is a bit extreme. I'd get nosebleed in that thing.

If whatever that yellow crap is (left-over rice accessories, my guess) is what's limiting the seat's full rearward travel, I'd be driving with my knees up around my ears.

If the owner of that truck were to take it offroading and got one side of it up on an incline, I think the thing would just roll over.

That truck is probably illegal in Tennessee as well as some other states. We have a maximum bumper height (seldom enforced) to protect those of us crazy enough to drive vertically challanged autos.

I wonder if he is selling the truck because he's getting tired of climbing in & out every day...

Maybe the 914 is used for a step.

GT,

If he bought it, that would look like your driveway.. (minus the headrest rollbars...)

Jason, he's looking for someone nice like you to loan him the $$. I'm all tapped out!

I was driving down Broadway the other day in my teener and one of these big trucks pulled up next to me. Had the top on so all I could see was his drive shaft.
