Rush hour traffic..(Beware attempt at humor)

[CycleJay]

Hi guys,

Just wondering..

If I had one of these mounted on my truck (M1009)
do you think it would help me get thru rush hour traffic?? LOL

Not untill the other drivers see it blow a roadhog to pieces. Then they'd part for you like the Red Sea did for Moses.

Mine already gets enough attention around here. If she needs more I bring this into view.

Most people wouldn't even know, or see for that matter what it is. They are too busy texting. The best thing for getting through rush hour traffic is a 5 ton with a big snow plow.

The LAW (Light Anti-tank Weapon) was a one shot, throw away weapon used against thin skinned armored vehicles (shoot a real tank with it and you will only piss the occupants off) and fortifed positions.

To part the waters you need a MK-19 40mm grenade launcher and, as stated above, a plow to move the residue out of the way.

Ever since I built El'Smasho, other drivers pretty much give me a wide berth, a lot less cutoffs also. My straight pipe stack helps, You hear this truck before you see it. From the rear, my Federal and New York State terrorist hunting permit stickers discorage tailgaters. Guess they think im an upstate redneck hillbilly. And they are right! LOL.

On my M1010 I just went with grenade stickers on the backdoor windows, and on the drivers door wing window I have a sticker that says "Honk if you've never seen an Uzi shot out of a car window."... They seem to do the trick. My view on other drivers is "don't pull out in front of me. Or do, it doesn't matter to me either way..."

I'm getting one of those train horns to mount on mine. My uncle mounted a three horn special off of his air system. it's a hoot to watch folks sideview mirrors vibrating when you lay on this thing.

It'll make make 'em drop their texting device when you sneek up on them and give them a wee toot

Cheers,

I really like the sno-plow idea though. What about one of those big tree shearing "V" blades off of the D-10 or 11 dozers????

Isn't that a pic of the new i-tube attachment for your i-pad? When it shoots, does it leave an i-cloud?

How about 2 lengths of 3/8" black gas pipes with a small triangle welded on the top protruding from your front grill.

Gee thanks Goldeneagle,, That's about 1/2 hour worth of work with the welder for a reputation that will last a lifetime.
Not that my neighbors have any doubt about my lack of sanity as it is,,,,

I want a 75 mm pack howitzer to tow behind my M1009. That would encourage tailgaters to back off a little bit!

When I drive the Untouchable through town, everyone seems to get out of my way. Same thing on the highway, however since we put the pyro on it, I can't get the speed I used to get so I am limited to the right lane and the occasional Schneider truck

uscgmatt,

I disagree. the SNOW PLOW part would not be needed... lol

One of the reasons I originally got into MV's was because of this guys story about helping a buddy after Katrina...

Katrina Day 5: Friday, 2 September 2005
Daybreak, up and at 'em. Spent most of the day clearing debris in Biloxi and Gulfport. The deuce makes a pretty good plow when you use a compact car turned sideways as a plow blade.

So see, you wouldn't actually need the snow plow part. Just snag one of them there imports and IMPROVISE

and if you damaged your plow blade? well just drop it off and snag another import

 

[engineman2]

Snow plows would be great since they'd part the sea so to speak.

The gas pipe skewer would be neat too. I'd put a big spike in the receiver hitch to spike the radiators of tailgaters.

I've had some people do some dumb things before, most notably drive across my bumper while I'm doing 45 with 3-4k pounds of firewood in the truck and trailer.

 

[TIGERFANS2]

you know you can control a hay bail mover from the cab, I think one with a Yugo stuck on it would be enough warning to tailgaters

Still prefer my Sig 716 Patrol! LAW is one shot deal. I can keep on trucking into the night as long as I have trigger discipline. LAW worked great for instant Rock Quary and unimproved bunkers.

HA............Falling Down was the first thing I thought of too.
