From last weekends race at COTA
Was on a job and this old girl came chugging by.
You guys probably think these are simply the trains Canada still uses though.

Friend of mine just finished up this two-tone on his new F150. With the grill and the chrome, it looks like a 80s retro-style. This is definitely how it should be offered from the factory.

Funny you should say this. While at the Ford museum and other travels that have put me in front of old steam engine trains, I could stare at the engineering and building of these beasts for hours. I have always been truly amazed at what we accomplished when the industrial revolution was in its infancy. While I'm also quite interested in what computers and automation have done for manufacturing, there is something way different in what our grandparents (Great and great-great grandparents) have accomplished.That's not a Canadian train. It doesn't even have square wheels.
That said, I was listening to the clatter of my diesel the other day and thought how beautiful it sounded, that it would be such a shame that future generations will never know that- they'll be too content with the silence of EVs. Then I wondered if the old timers thought the same way about diesel. Steam is still cool though. It's got a nature all its own. So many vivid descriptions of it, often likening it to some living, breathing behemoth. It breathes fire, belches smoke, huffs and puffs, all lumbering along just tons and tons of steel. It's like a mechanical dragon. Thousands upon thousands of moving parts, all working together just to turn wheels and do work for us, with a brute force few of us can fathom.
That looks awesome.
Picked up a drag pack on FB market place. 15x10s, 17x4.5, skinnies have zero miles on em, nitto nt555r have most of the tread left. Wouldn’t be my first choice of tire but can’t find shit right now. Only paid $650 for all of it

I agree, BigPoppa! That is really a NICE retro-style paint scheme. Looks classy! Is that black paint or dark blue? Either would look awesome contrasting with the white portion and chrome.Friend of mine just finished up this two-tone on his new F150. With the grill and the chrome, it looks like a 80s retro-style.

Thanks. I had a feeling it was dark blue, but it looked black. Nice!Dark blue
Reminds of my a Mack truck we lost because a rod exited and whatever it hit shorted something while covering it in engine oil… talk about instant fire starterThe Radical made an oopsie.

Oh yea, I was lucky in this one, small fire but got it out before any harm was done.Reminds of my a Mack truck we lost because a rod exited and whatever it hit shorted something while covering it in engine oil… talk about instant fire starter
