HAHAHA our smaller ones have a left "Hydralic Release/brake" pedal that allows you to keep it in gear, raise the RPMs and dump it, rough on the equipment but it can be done.

The large Nasco (pictured) doesn't have that, but it does have 4spd x 2spd w/4wd and 49' tires on the front!

*MattStarr* · 01-09-2004, 11:44 AM

SVO.... rough on the equipment?? F it!!! I dont pay for it!! Go beat the hell out of it!! Ours run on propane gas.

Well, I'm the guy who does all the lift training and any/all repairs on them.

So as much as I would like to, I just can't bring my self to do as such.

Ours are diesel (oil burners)

*MattStarr* · 01-09-2004, 11:49 AM

Its still fun... I'll be sending some broken parts from out Wiggens Marina Bulls to ya!!

PicoG4 · 01-09-2004, 12:31 PM

between 2 jobs i drive a 02 silverodo fully loaded, an isuzu diesel box truck, and an 87 xj6 vanden plas in mint condition

**mrboyle** · 01-11-2004, 06:46 PM

I drive everything from P.O.S. death traps that should have been scrapped long ago, to X5's or Chevy HD's on 37" Crawlers. One of the few perks of fixing cars for a living, I get to "test" drive all of them. Fastest yet was a Paxton spercharged 93 Mustang Cobra! Most powefull was a '00 Dodge Cummins w/full Banks kit and propane.

*jimbo74* · 01-11-2004, 06:55 PM

im with mrboyle.... i drove a turboed miated once, scared the crap outta me, you have to be really careful though, employers frown upon wrapping a customers car around a tree....

NICE59FORDF100 · 01-12-2004, 09:34 PM

hmm, i thought i would have the best fork lift available...a 69 hyster! (the one on the left)

*Joey P* · 01-12-2004, 09:42 PM

i drive a mouse, and when i get to go places i drive my x. the x gets $.32 per mile, plus hourly-it makes more money than me

Silverblade · 01-12-2004, 11:45 PM

03 Toyota Corolla peice of junk slow as crap, but the hand brake helped me wear out the back tread almost as much as i did the front.

Nicaraguense · 01-12-2004, 11:59 PM

While I am at work I got to drive one time one of the company delivery trucks (Ford Rangers) They are absolute crap. ONe of them (a 96) isn't that bad but it needs a major tune up and probably a few other things. THe other one (I think a 98) is ready for the scrap yard. It shifts SO hard, also, the spedometer doesn't even work until about 25mph (then it bounces for a little bit) until it levels out.
