The ones where you involuntarily stop, right? The one thing with those I've wondered is: What about the involuntary stop at an inopportune time? (freeway in rush hour, etc?)

Interesting, the emergency-brake thing is something this newbie here has wondered for the last year himself. I did once have the (slightly hair-raising?) experience of riding along in a friend's M49 tanker Deuce, whose brakes didn't work. It was, however, not on public roads. He was an...

@JohnnyBM931A2...that must have been a great sight to behold! @theRooster2001, you mean you'd lose the truck, or lose it and intentionally flatten one of those little cars? Or both. Yeah I imagine traffic must suck there. LOL at "Spoiled 5 ton that lives indoors"...well, it's in its...

Regardless, it looks mint! Daily driver? (Seeing as it's at the front of the garage).

How far do you commute?

Interesting fix! You must drive your 923 all the time then?

Good luck and have fun! Take lots of pictures!

@DinoSheperd, A1 or A2 and how far? Just wondering... IDK about the float but I've heard of people just making themselves a dip stick for the tank. I've seen it joked that the two most lying things are politicians and MV fuel gauges. That's my thought...a M923A2 would be about as economical...

Daily driver by any chance?

Oh wow, your headlights are LED? Was that a conversion you did yourself?

Yeah, then you can re-spray with a second coat. Did you just acquire this Deuce recently?

Looks good! Fresh paint job I see!

Not bad at all!

Congragulations! What did you trade? Is it eventually going to be your daily driver?

@JohnnyBM931A2; here's hoping for the best! Hope you're back in the driver's seat soon!

I feel like I would most likely take a break from school in that situation and get a good-paying-but-mindless-work job (I know of possibilities) to pay for the next year. But I very much agree about "Good" debt vs. "Bad" debt. Student loans are still way "better" then buying a flascreeen...

Education first and foremost for sure! I'm glad to hear other people also being sensible about it! Otherwise I'd already have one...but I have more important things to spend my money on... As far as Sallie Mae...I refuse to take out student loans. I'd just take a gap year and work if needed...

Yeah, I need seat time. I HAVE helped (unsuccessfully) roll-start a Deuce, and have ridden in one (On all unpaved roads, no less!) so I know how they drive and "feel". Haven't been underway in a 939 series 5 ton but trying to keep a being-towed-by-a-material-handler Deuce straight with it's...

Interesting thought. I just like the feel and character of the 939 series better I guess. I admittedly wonder how the university is going to feel about me parking a M939 there though. Worst comes to worst I'll get a small car that's really easy on gas for that commute, (Did I mention I might...

Looks like fun! I know when I eventually get my own 923 I'll be doing plenty of the above for sure...
